Whispers of Granite & Vows – A Full-Day Elopement in Yosemite $8,700

Whispers of Granite & Vows – A Full-Day Elopement in Yosemite

  • Mountains
  • Cliffs

As the first light of day brushes Yosemite’s cliffs and valleys, you’ll share a quiet first look at Glacier Point, with Half Dome glowing softly in the distance. From sunrise to golden hour, this full-day elopement lets your love story unfold slowly and intentionally across one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world.

After quiet portraits along the overlook trail, there’s time to rest and regroup before heading to Cathedral Beach for your afternoon picnic. You enjoy your favorite snack surrounded by the soft sway of towering trees, the distant bubbling flow of the Merced River, and warm reflections of Yosemite’s iconic granite walls.

A little before golden hour arrives, you’ll hike to Taft Point, where sweeping canyon views and quiet forest paths close out the day. As you hike back under the fading light, you’ll carry with you the feeling of a day spent fully alive and deeply connected; a love story written into the very heart of Yosemite. This isn’t just an elopement, it’s a full-body love story lived out in the most beautiful landscapes of the whole park.
