How to Plan Your Dream Yosemite Elopement 🌲💍

As a Yosemite wedding photographer, I’ve seen firsthand how magical and meaningful elopements in this iconic national park can be. If you’re dreaming of a wedding day that’s intimate, adventurous, and surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery, eloping in Yosemite National Park might be the perfect fit for you! With its towering granite cliffs, peaceful meadows, and iconic views, Yosemite offers countless stunning backdrops for your special day. Whether you’re planning a private ceremony or a small gathering with loved ones, Yosemite delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Sydney & William’s Yosemite Elopement Adventure 🏞️💑

Sydney and William are no strangers to nature—they’ve visited over 100 national parks together! But they intentionally saved Yosemite for something truly special: their wedding day. From the very beginning of their planning process, they knew they wanted to elope in Yosemite.

Their day began just before sunrise, with an emotional and intimate vow exchange in front of just their parents. The quiet of the early morning, surrounded by granite cliffs and tall pines, created the perfect setting for such a meaningful moment.

After a few family portraits, the adventure continued. We explored Glacier Point, Taft Point, Bridalveil Falls, Cathedral Beach, Cook’s Meadow, and El Capitan Meadow—each spot offering unique and stunning scenery. From cliffside views to peaceful riverbanks, they embraced every step of the journey together. Their elopement was more than just a ceremony—it was a full-day adventure that perfectly reflected their love story.
