Location Scouting: Samuel P. Taylor Park

in , ,

Nick and I did a little location scouting for an upcoming Wedding Portrait shoot happening this February.  The couple's first choice is Muir Woods, but just we are planning a backup "Redwoods" Scene just in the even that Muir Woods can't happen.  I think Samuel P. Taylor Park is a great second option. It is less crowded, and during the week, we would essentially have the park to ourselves.   Nick and I stayed off the trails, and stuck to the campgrounds where we would have easy access to a car filled with gear, props, etc.  These pictures were taken with my Samsung Note 4, filtered with VSCO for lightroom: Kodak Gold-100, and are simply "ideas" or scenes.  Mentally insert a happy couple into any of these pictures to get a better idea of the park.
