Elopements

Yosemite Sunrise Elopement

As an elopement photographer, shooting a sunrise elopement in Yosemite was a DREAM come true, and Glacier point was just the icing on the cake. Sarah & Derek made our dream come true, we’ve always wanted to photograph couples in Yosemite. But these photos almost didn’t happen!

Sarah found us on instagram and sent us a message telling meusthat they had had to cancel their wedding due to covid. They were already going to have a small wedding with just mainly family but since so many were out of state/country they wouldn’t be able to make it. BUT not letting that get them down, they decided to plan something fun for just the two of them and get married anyway! We were originally going to do their photos in Joshua Tree but since it was supposed to be pretty hot. So we suggested Yosemite instead.

We planned everything, got our permits in order and then we waited with excitement! As we got closer, fires broke out all around Yosemite. We were wondering if we would even be able to go at all. Then the park shut down completely due to safety concerns. We were so worried that this beloved park would go up in flames. We decided to just wait it out as the incredible fire fighters in the area fought off the fires.

Even though the park opened back up just in time, we decided to push out the date because of all the smoke. As you can see it worked out perfectly, we got so lucky, the day was so clear! We got up around 3am, got ready and headed up to Glacier point for their sunrise elopement.
