Julie and Billy wanted to get married in the California Redwoods, but that plan didn't quite pan out for them so we met up on Friday afternoon in the Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve in Guernevlille to fulfill their redwoods dream! I haven't been here before, but it was an amazing park of redwoods all around and SO beautiful! I'm going to make their wedding blog into two posts because I have too many photos to share.

Oh Ilan and Lauren, the couple who had permanent smiles on their face the whole day. These two are so rad, so themselves and focused on having FUN alllll wedding day! I mean, their first dance started classically, and then transitioned into a choreographed dance set to THE Bieber (as in Justin Beiber). I definitely said multiple times to their guests, "you have the best friends!" Thank you so much for having me along to capture your day! And Happy Birthday Lauren :)Cater + Florals: Culinary Excellence // DJ: Berkeley Squares // HMUA: Hair by Simone at Vine Street Salon // Men's Suits: Menguin // Lauren's Dress: Novella Bridal // Bridesmaids Dresses: J.Crew // Photographer: Chelsea Dier Photography // Second Photographer: 43rd Ave Photography

Catie and Michael had the most rad forest elopement up in Fort Bragg (about 3.5 hours north of the Bay) with their closest friends, family and two dogs in tow. Catie created her "bouquet" from bird feathers she has found while hiking and it was so her. She needed a bouquet that she could also use for their weekend celebration with friends (which by the way costumes were required for their reception -- how fun!). Also check out her totally unique ring, wowza! Thank you times a million for having me along. I LOVED it and to future couples of CDP, I want to shoot this type of intimate ceremonies all the time!

Daniel + Lauren // Redwoods Engagament Session // Oakland, CA

blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, Daniel and Lauren also lucked out with their engagment session weather! The drive up to Skyline Gate was super foggy and I was sure we would be socked in, but the moment we started walking, the sun started shining. Woo! It must of known ;)

It was so great to explore new trails up in Redwood Regional Park with these two and they were such troopers with the hills and still looked this good!

See you two in August (and I hope we don't melt)! blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, blue,chelsea dier photography,dier photography,engagament,green,oakland,redwoods engagement, ((I love Daniel's hand expression in this one ^^ Such a guy thing, being like "whaaaat??"
