Hallie and Matt | Ahwahnee Hotel Wedding | Yosemite National Park

Hallie and Matt traveled clear across the United States to get married in the most beautiful place on Earth - Yosemite National Park. I honestly don't think there is a better wedding location than Yosemite. If you haven't been there, you owe it to yourself to make the trek! Hallie and Matt were fabulous - so much energy, so easy to laugh, they're the exact kind of people that make my job so rewarding. I thank them for the opportunity to document their wedding in Yosemite. Enjoy my favorites from the day!

One of the highlights of every wedding season is a trip or two up to Yosemite to photograph a wedding and Wen-Chih and Matt's wedding was no exception. A stunningly beautiful day, with perfect weather, surrounded by their closest friends and family. There was tons of joy in the valley that day and it was an honor to be the one chosen to record it for the family. Enjoy...

Jenn and Brandon | Yosemite Wedding at the Ahwahnee Hotel | Yosemite National Park, CA

Jenn and Brandon's wedding was my last Yosemite wedding of the year and it took advantage of the great fall color in Yosemite Valley. The color was absolutely spectacular and it was a joy to spend the day searching out the most vivid locations. I love these small Yosemite weddings - everyone has such an amazing time and there's always a room full of personalities. Thanks Jenn and Brandon for sharing your day with me, please enjoy some of my favorites from the day.

Yi-Hsing and Daniel | Ahwahnee Hotel Wedding | Yosemite National Park

Any wedding day in Yosemite is bound to be a beautiful one, and this day certainly didn't disappoint! Weekday weddings in the park are great as even in the summertime the crowds are smaller and it's pretty easy to get around the valley floor. Daniel and Yi-Hsing are new residents of New York by way of Japan, and on the way they had a little wedding under the apple tree on the Ahwahnee Hotel's Wedding Lawn. Enjoy a few of my favorite images from the day...

Heather and Andy | A Yosemite Wedding from the Historic Chapel and Ahwahnee Hotel

Heather called me just a few short months ago to ask me about shooting her wedding in Yosemite. Of course I nearly leapt out of my chair at the chance. I've been going to Yosemite frequently since I was a young child.

I've photographed a few weddings in Yosemite Valley and I look forward to shooting many more Yosemite weddings. Below are a few of my favorites from Heather and Andy's wedding from the historic chapel in Yosemite Valley and their reception in the beautiful Mural Room in the old Ahwahnee Hotel - and of course many
