💍 Yosemite Chapel Wedding | Karen & Zach’s Intimate Yosemite Elopement
Karen and Zach’s Yosemite Chapel Wedding was the perfect blend of intimacy, adventure, and natural beauty. Traveling all the way from the East Coast with their immediate family, they chose Yosemite National Park as the backdrop for a wedding day that felt deeply personal and unforgettable.
🌄 Sunrise First Look at Glacier Point
The day began before sunrise with Karen and Zach meeting for their first look at Glacier Point. As the sun rose over Yosemite Valley, they shared quiet moments together surrounded by sweeping granite cliffs and soft morning light. Sunrise portraits in Yosemite offer a peaceful, crowd-free experience—and this moment set the tone for their entire wedding day.
đź’¦ Exploring Yosemite Before the Ceremony
After their first look, we explored nearby scenic spots, including a stop by one of Yosemite’s iconic waterfall, Bridal Veil Fall. These relaxed, adventurous moments allowed Karen and Zach to soak in the park together before heading to their ceremony.
⛪️ Intimate Yosemite Chapel Wedding Ceremony
Karen and Zach exchanged vows at the Yosemite Valley Chapel, one of the most charming and historic ceremony locations in the park. Surrounded by family, they enjoyed a heartfelt and intimate chapel ceremony. One of the highlights? Walking down the aisle together and ringing the bell in the chapel tower—a joyful tradition that perfectly captured their excitement 🔔✨.
🌅 Sunset Hike & Milky Way Photos
After an afternoon break, we headed out for a sunset hike to one of my favorite hidden locations in Yosemite. As golden light faded into twilight, we captured romantic sunset portraits followed by Milky Way galaxy photos under a crystal-clear night sky 🌌. If you’re dreaming of starry night photos, summer and fall are the best seasons for a Yosemite elopement.
