Emma and August shared the most intimate beautiful elopement celebration in Yosemite at sunrise. Being early Fall, the weather was mild. A cool breeze was in the air. We met right before the sun began to rise over the Valley. We had Glacier Point all to ourselves.
Emma and August began their morning with a first look. They were so excited to see each other! After, they took some time to sit quietly, take in the views and watch the sun light up the sky.







They shared a private vow reading and ring exchange. It was perfectly intimate and beautiful! After, they shared a first dance and popped champagne to celebrate! They could not get over the insane views of Half Dome and Yosemite below them.








Sunrise at Glacier Point is the most magical time of day here. Watching the light rise in the sky and light up Half Dome is absolutely breathtaking. Emma and August had such a blast taking it all in and exploring Glacier Point Road.









Once we soaked in all the fun at Glacier Point Road, we headed to Glacier Point to take wedding portraits. Emma and August both looked stunning! We had so much fun playing with her gorgeous dress. I love a dress that moves!










Emma and August explored Yosemite Valley during the afternoon and we met back up at Taft Point for sunset. The lighting did not disappoint! We really had the best day celebrating their love in Yosemite. We also lucked out with the crowds. Eloping in the Fall in Yosemite really helps! These two danced their hearts away at the famous view point. They enjoyed just sitting, talking and taking in the views. They wanted a day that felt stress-free and all about them. It was an honor to capture their Yosemite elopement.
