Continuing with the "Summer in Yosemite" theme, here's Dan and Yi-Hsing's engagement session. I shot this wedding with the wickedly talented Mariano Friginal on video and we headed up the day before to shoot a little engagement session ahead of the wedding. Just another amazingly beautiful day in Yosemite! Take a minute to enjoy a few of my favorites.
Marissa and Geoff were married on a beautiful, warm day in Yosemite National Park. After getting ready and having a tea ceremony at a cabin in the Yosemite West development we all rode together down into the valley, navigating some epic summertime weekend traffic! Then it was time for the ceremony underneath the old apple tree on the Ahwahnee Hotel's Wedding Lawn. I'm so excited to be able to shoot 5 different weddings in Yosemite this summer and fall, it's an amazing place! Enjoy a few of my favorite images from the day...
I have a pretty cool job, for sure, but its coolness reaches a whole new level when I get to "work" in Yosemite. It's still unreal to me when I arrive that I'm so fortunate to be trusted with photographing a couple's wedding and to top it off I get to do it in one of the most breathtaking places on Earth. This is Laruen and Bryan's day in Yosemite, enjoy my favorites!
Marissa and Geoff are getting married today! A couple of weeks ago though, I met them for an engagement session in the park and these are a few of my favorites...
Take a look at a few of my favorites from my first wedding of the season. This time it's Stacy and Adam's turn up on the site and their beautiful wedding up at the Tenaya Lodge. It was an absolutely beautiful setting with the snow covered surroundings, a warm fire blazing in the stone fireplace, and huge guest list full of those closest to Stacy and Adam. Enjoy the slideshow!
Allison and Sepehr were married in early October on one of the strangest weather days I've ever experienced. We started under blue skies with the most beautiful scattered clouds followed by a huge thunderstorm that arrived just before the ceremony. Thankfully the ceremony was in a sheltered area and we got most of the photography done before the storms hit. As a bonus, the sky was really cool when we went outside to do a couple portraits after the rain moved on. Check out a few of my favorites from the day...
I gotta love a May that sends me to Yosemite National Park TWICE for weddings. The first was an amazing day, and Sarah and Edward's wedding didn't disappoint either. After several straight days of rain - and more rain in the forecast for the wedding day - remarkably the clouds parted and didn't drop more than the tiniest of a sprinkle at any point during the day. Sarah was total trooper marching around the park, unafraid of a little dirt, in the quest for some amazing portraits. Sarah and Edward were married on the Wedding Lawn and the historic Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Valley following an afternoon roaming Cook's Meadow, El Capitan Meadow, and the Yosemite Falls trails for their portrait session.
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. Many of the earliest photographs I ever made were in the park, so the prospect of shooting weddings there gets me all kinds of excited. 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
This is going to be a HUGE post, find a computer with a fast internet connection! Lynne-Dee and Brian were married in an intimate ceremony on the Wedding Lawn at the stunning Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park. One of the great benefits of being a wedding photographer in the Fresno area is that Yosemite is right in my backyard. I've only had the opportunity to shoot a few weddings in Yosemite, but I have several booked in the future so I'm stoked that that looks like it's changing!
