Ryann & Enrique’s Intimate Yosemite Elopement 🌲💍
A Heartfelt Beginning in El Capitan Meadow
Ryann and Enrique’s intimate Yosemite elopement began with a deeply emotional first look in El Capitan Meadow. Surrounded by towering granite walls and soft summer light, Enrique saw Ryann in her wedding dress for the very first time—and the joy on his face said it all 🥹✨ As the more emotional half of the couple, Enrique wore his heart on his sleeve, setting the tone for a day filled with happy tears, laughter, and genuine connection.
A Private Ceremony High Above Yosemite Valley 🏔️
Personal Vows & a Meaningful Handfasting
After their first look, we hiked together to a secluded ceremony location overlooking Yosemite Valley. This quiet, elevated spot was perfect for their intimate Yosemite elopement, allowing them to focus solely on each other. Ryann and Enrique shared personal vows, exchanged rings, and honored tradition with a hand-tying ceremony that symbolized their commitment. With the mountains as witnesses, I pronounced them married—an unforgettable moment full of love and intention 💫
Sunset Romance at Taft Point 🌅
First Dance at Dusk & Letters from Loved Ones
Following their ceremony, we continued the adventure with a hike to Taft Point. As the sun dipped below the horizon, Ryann and Enrique read heartfelt letters from loved ones and shared their first dance during dusk. Once the day hikers cleared out, Taft Point became incredibly quiet, making it the perfect place for an intimate, private moment together 🧡
Starry Night Magic in Yosemite ✨🌌
Milky Way Photos to End the Night
Their intimate Yosemite elopement ended under a crystal-clear summer sky. After hiking back in the dark, we captured stunning starry night photos—with the Milky Way galaxy glowing overhead.
