Night Sky Wedding Photography in Yosemite: Unveil the Beauty of Your Love Story 🌙

Welcome to a celebration as unique as your love. A wedding or elopement under the enchanting night sky of Yosemite National Park and the Eastern Sierra. At Yosemite Wedding Photography, we specialize in capturing the magic of nighttime weddings. With a focus on wedding photography under the stars and moonlit moments.

Capturing Your Wedding Pictures Under The Stars: Things to consider

  • The phase of the Moon matters a lot, and we have our favorite times that we’re excited to share with you.
  • All the different seasons are great, but the Milky Way is only visible in the summer and early autumn.
  • Night sky wedding photography at elevation means that no matter what time of year, it will be chilly.
  • We can meet early before sunrise, but most couples choose evening for their nighttime wedding photos.
  • Which is better for wedding photography, stars or moonlight? We love both, especially a blend of the two!
  • Nighttime wedding photos can happen on your wedding day, OR on the day after if the timing is better.
  • Starlight photos can be a part of Wedding Photography, an Adventure Elopement, or Couple’s Session.

Now you may be wondering, how do they do that? We use quite a few different techniques and approaches to achieve these stunning nighttime wedding photos under the stars. It's a real collaboration between us as we do need you to stand still for a few seconds. And that's not as easy at it sounds!

 

But the results speak for themself. And it's such a great way to finish a session, with night sky wedding photos. Watching the day slowly turn to night and the stars come to life is such a special experience. And it's really nice to be able to savor the experience as we wind down your Sierra wedding photography.
