The inimitable Cindi de Channes asked me to capture a wedding with her last summer at the redwood grove in the Tilden Regional Park Botanic Garden. Redwood groves are beautiful places to get married – they can be dark, but when the sunlight shines between the trees, it really sings. This is a moment before the portraits, in a place I thought might collect some nice light after the ceremony. I was fortunate that the detail of the back of the bride’s dress matched the light and the groom’s elegance of body language so perfectly.
