🌄 A Sunrise Surprise at Tunnel View
☀️ When the Clouds Parted and Magic Happened
The morning of their elopement began with what was supposed to be a cloudy, overcast sky. But just as Sophy and Ashton arrived for their first look at Tunnel View, the clouds unexpectedly parted, revealing a golden sunrise over Yosemite Valley. It felt like nature was giving them its blessing — and the photos captured during this moment were absolutely stunning.
🌿 Intimate Ceremony at Bridal Veil Falls
💍 Vows Beneath A Waterfall with Family by Their Side
Following their emotional first look, we made our way down to Bridal Veil Falls for the ceremony. Surrounded by towering granite cliffs and the sound of the rushing waterfall, Sophy and Ashton exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony officiated by Sophy’s dad. Only their immediate family attended, and we had the entire space to ourselves — a rare and beautiful moment of peace and connection in one of the most beloved parks in the country.
👰♀️🤵♂️ Personalized Details That Made the Day Uniquely Theirs
💐 Adventure-Ready Style and Meaningful Details
What made Sophy and Ashton’s Bridal Veil Falls wedding even more special were the thoughtful, personal touches they brought to their elopement. Both wore bride-and-groom-inspired hiking boots — Sophy in white and Ashton in black — a perfect blend of adventure and style. Their matching socks read “wifey” and “hubby,” adding a fun and sentimental detail to their attire. They even brought a custom wooden sign shaped like a national park sign, featuring their names and wedding date — the perfect keepsake and photo prop. Ashton wore a Yosemite-inspired wedding ring etched with Half Dome, a beautiful tribute to the park where they said “I do.” Their handcrafted ring box and vow books tied it all together. I absolutely love when couples take the time to incorporate details that reflect their story — it’s those little things that make an elopement truly unforgettable.
