Your love story deserves more than a traditional script—it deserves wild beauty, breathtaking views, and moments that feel truly yours. This half-day Yosemite elopement package is designed for couples who want breathtaking scenery and meaningful moments without the overwhelm. From a late afternoon arrival in Yosemite to a golden-hour ceremony at Taft Point, this adventure captures the best of the park in just a few unforgettable hours.
We’ll begin your day in the heart of Yosemite Valley at Sentinel Loop and Cooks Meadow. As you step into the meadow, you’ll hear the rustle of tall grasses and the distant rush of the Merced River. With an epic backdrop of Yosemite Falls on one side and Half Dome on the other, you’ll take your first photos with soft mountain light spilling across the Valley. It’s a calm, unhurried way to begin—breathing in the crisp air and soaking in the grandeur of the park.
Next, we’ll to head to Tunnel View. As soon as you step out of your car, you’ll see the entire Valley stretched out before you—Bridalveil Fall, El Capitan, and Half Dome all in one sweeping scene. Just above, at a hidden perch tucked away from the crowds, we’ll take in a quieter version of that same view, giving you space to enjoy the moment together.
From there, we’ll go to Taft Point for the grand finale. At the trailhead, you’ll lace up for the walk along an easy trail that winds through towering pines with dappled light. When the trees open up, the majestic beauty of Taft Point reveals itself—dramatic, vast, and unforgettable. As the sun begins to dip low, you’ll stand together at the edge of Yosemite Valley for your vows. With the granite glowing in soft light and the sky shifting into shades of pink and orange, this is certain to be a moment you’ll never forget. It’s just the two of you, the endless view, and your promises to one another. I’ll capture every look, every laugh, and every embrace as the sun disappears behind the horizon, closing your day in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
With a thoughtful timeline, stunning views, and ample space for those little in-between moments, this package is all about creating an experience that feels natural, effortless, and unforgettable. Your elopement shouldn’t feel like a rushed photoshoot—it should feel like a day built just for you. From epic overlooks to quiet moments tucked away, the day flows naturally so you never feel rushed or on a strict schedule. I’ll guide you to the best light, fewest crowds, handle the details, and help you feel comfortable every step of the way, so your day feels easy, natural, and completely yours.
Not everyone feels natural in front of a camera (I get it!). That’s why my focus is on creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can simply enjoy being together. I’ll help ease the nerves, keep things lighthearted, and capture the genuine moments that happen in between—so the photos reflect how the day felt, not just how it looked.
