We Love Intimate Weddings With Kids in Yosemite

Dana & Aaron’s Enchanting Yosemite Wedding: A Celebration of Love and Family

I feel incredibly blessed to have been the chosen photographer for Dana & Aaron’s intimate wedding in the heart of Yosemite National Park. After nearly two decades together, this couple, alongside their two daughters, embarked on a journey to solidify their family bond in a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony. They always imagined a small ceremony surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of Yosemite.

A Unique Love Story: Celebrating Two Decades and a New Beginning

Dana & Aaron’s story is truly special. Having been together for almost 20 years, their union is a testament to enduring love and commitment. What makes their celebration stand out is the fact that, despite having grown children together, this wedding marked a new chapter in their journey as a family. As a photographer, it was a unique challenge and an exciting opportunity to capture the nuances of their family dynamics and the deep connection they share.

Capturing the Essence of Family in Yosemite’s Splendor

Shooting a family is a different adventure altogether, and I relished the challenge that Dana & Aaron’s wedding presented. For over a decade, my focus has been mainly on couples, but this was the first time “couple portraits” seamlessly merged with “family portraits.” It was a joy to document not only the love between Dana & Aaron but also the shared laughter, affection, and unique bonds they have with their daughters.

Yosemite’s Majesty and Moments of Light: Crafting a Visual Symphony

Dana & Aaron’s appreciation for wedding photography allowed us to carve out time not only within the iconic Yosemite Valley but also at the majestic Taft Point. Their willingness to plan their day around capturing images in the most stunning light speaks volumes about their commitment to creating lasting memories.

Intimate weddings in Yosemite hold a special place in my heart. The idea of being surrounded by your closest family and friends amidst the magic of Yosemite is unparalleled. Cathedral Beach, with the towering El Capitan overlooking the Merced River, serves as a breathtaking location for the ceremony. While Taft Point, one of Yosemite’s most dramatic overlooks, never ceases to amaze with its stunning vistas. Especially as the setting sun casts its warm glow.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with couples like Dana & Aaron, capturing the magic of their love and the warmth of their family against the backdrop of Yosemite’s awe-inspiring landscapes. If you’re dreaming of your own Yosemite wedding or adventure elopement, whether in the Eastern Sierra or anywhere else in the world, I would be honored to be your photographer.
