Yosemite and Sequoia were made for love stories like Alex & Rachel’s. These two planned an intentional, multi-day elopement adventure that was full of emotion, epic views, and the sweetest slow moments! From their sweet first look to lantern-lit portraits at Beetle Rock, every detail felt like them, laid-back, heartfelt, and totally present.
Day One: Crescent Meadow Ceremony & Sequoia Adventures
We kicked things off in the cutest Airbnb in Three Rivers, where Alex & Rachel got ready under the trees and shared the sweetest first look before heading into the forest. Their ceremony took place at Crescent Meadow, and wow, it felt like stepping into a fairytale. So peaceful, so dreamy, and surrounded by their closest people!
After that, we wandered through Sequoia just the three of us! We hiked, explored, and stumbled on a literal super bloom of purple lupins (it was unreal). Wildflowers everywhere, golden light pouring through the trees, it was total magic. We ended the day at Beetle Rock with lantern portraits, and the glow?? Absolutely next level. You’ll just have to see it for yourself!
Day Two: Sunrise at Glacier Point & Yosemite Valley Views
Two days later, we met back up in Yosemite National Park for round two: bride and groom portraits at sunrise. Glacier Point absolutely showed off that morning, with golden light pouring over the cliffs while these two soaked it all in. We spent the rest of the morning exploring Yosemite Valley, every overlook, trail, and scenic stop turned into a mini adventure for the two of them!
This is the beauty of a multi-day elopement: there’s no rush. We had time to chase the light, stop when something inspired us, and be fully present in it all.
Why You Should Consider a Multi-Day Elopement in Yosemite and Sequoia
If you’re planning to elope, here’s my biggest piece of advice: don’t squeeze all your dreams into one afternoon. A multi-day elopement gives you the freedom to:
- Soak in different locations (like Sequoia and Yosemite!)
- Spend one day with family and another just the two of you
- Get the best light, I LOVE sunrise. Yes please!
- Embrace slow, intentional moments instead of rushing through a packed timeline
