Kendal & Jori’s Wedding at Teravan Foundations Tree Sanctuary | Photo + Video Coverage Near San Francisco

Kendal and Jori’s wedding day at Teravan Foundations Tree Sanctuary, just outside San Francisco, was a beautiful blend of nature, intention, and connection. Surrounded by towering trees and peaceful forest energy, their celebration felt deeply personal and grounded—exactly the kind of day we love documenting.

We were honored when Kendal and Jori invited us to capture both photography and videography for their wedding, allowing us to tell their full story through still images and cinematic motion.

A Forest Wedding at Teravan Foundations Tree Sanctuary

Teravan Foundations Tree Sanctuary is a hidden gem for couples looking for a nature-inspired wedding venue near San Francisco. With its towering trees, soft natural light, and serene atmosphere, it created a stunning backdrop for every part of the day—from getting ready to the ceremony and celebration.

The quiet beauty of the sanctuary set the tone for a wedding that felt calm, intentional, and completely authentic to Kendal and Jori.

A Ceremony Rooted in Connection

Kendal and Jori exchanged vows beneath the trees, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The ceremony felt unhurried and heartfelt, with nature as both witness and backdrop. The filtered sunlight, the stillness of the forest, and the emotion between them made for an incredibly meaningful moment to capture.

From a storytelling perspective, the setting allowed us to document their ceremony in a way that felt cinematic yet true to the experience of being there.

Capturing Wedding Photography and Videography Together

Being trusted to document both photo and video allowed us to move seamlessly throughout the day. While photography froze moments in time—glances, laughter, quiet emotion—video brought their wedding day to life through sound, movement, and atmosphere.

The combination of mediums helped us preserve:

  • The emotion of their vows
  • The natural sounds of the forest
  • The joyful interactions between guests
