Intimate Wedding Ceremony in Muir Woods


From the start, it was clear this day would be special. Cathy and Michael, both love the redwoods of Northern California, so it was only fitting that they chose Muir Woods as the perfect place to exchange their vows. The towering trees and calm atmosphere provided a magical setting for their ceremony. They had a really intimate wedding with only 24 guests who gathered to watch the couple say "I do" with a backdrop of gorgeous redwood trees and a bright blue sky.


Their ceremony was so touching, with personal moments throughout that allowed the guests a glimpse into Cathy and Michael's playful relationship. With this wedding being such an intimate gathering, each moment felt all the more personal and touching, with every guest fully immersed in the experience. After the vows, we took our time exploring the woods. Cathy and Michael were smiling and whispering with one another as we wandered through the forest. I kept snapping away and taking pictures as we walked through the tree.
