Kalyn & Mateo’s Sunrise Glacier Point Elopement 🌄💍
Kalyn and Mateo’s sunrise Glacier Point elopement was nothing short of magical. Despite the uncertainties of 2025’s extended government shutdown, everything fell into place perfectly for their dream wedding in Yosemite National Park. These two booked their special day a year and a half in advance, determined to say “I do” on 10/10, and the mountains delivered a stunning backdrop for their intimate ceremony. 🏔️✨
Sunrise Glacier Point Elopement Ceremony: A Magical Morning 🌅
The day began in the pre-dawn hours at Glacier Point, where Kalyn and Mateo had secured their permit well ahead of time. Surrounded by their immediate family, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows as the sun rose over Yosemite’s iconic peaks. Mateo’s dad officiated the ceremony, making the moment even more personal and emotional. The serenity of the morning, combined with Kalyn’s joyful energy, created a truly unforgettable start to their elopement. 💛
Adventure & Exploration After the Ceremony 🥾🌲
After their ceremony and family photos, Kalyn and Mateo explored the area around Glacier Point. Being naturally outdoorsy, they were right at home among the trails and breathtaking views. Every step offered a new moment to capture their love and the beauty of Yosemite. The couple even took a well-deserved break for brunch and a nap before the sunset session — because staying rested is part of enjoying the full elopement experience! 😴🥐
Sunset Session: Golden Hour Glow 🌄
Later in the day, we headed out for a sunset adventure session along the trail. From quiet moments on the trail to epic photos in golden hour light, every image reflected their connection and the stunning landscape. By the end of the day, we hiked back in the pitch black — a reminder that the journey is just as important as the destination! 🌙✨
Kalyn and Mateo’s sunrise Glacier Point elopement was the perfect combination of love, adventure, and Yosemite’s breathtaking beauty. It’s a day they (and their families) will cherish forever. 🤍
