Rina and Brian chose to celebrate their love with a two-day Glacier Point elopement adventure through Yosemite National Park, and it was truly unforgettable. Their elopement was filled with stunning views, playful moments, and experiences that felt completely true to who they are!
Day 1: Tunnel View & Taft Point Sunset
The first day started at their Airbnb in Yosemite West, where they got ready together and soaked in the excitement of what was to come. Their first look took place at the iconic Tunnel View overlook, surrounded by sweeping views of Yosemite Valley. From there, we headed to Taft Point for sunset portraits, and it could not have been more magical. The glow of lantern photos after dark made the evening feel adventurous and romantic all at once.
Day 2: Glacier Point Elopement Vows, Paddle Boarding & Pizza
We kicked off the second day at Glacier Point, where Rina and Brian exchanged vows as the sun rose over the valley. The stillness of the morning made it such a peaceful and intimate moment! From there, they leaned into adventure with Brian riding his skateboard for a few playful photos and then paddle boarding on Tenaya Lake. We also stopped at Olmstead Point, one of Yosemite’s most underrated spots, before heading into the valley for more portraits. To close out the celebration, we ended the day with pizza at Curry Village! The perfect laid-back finale to two incredible days of exploring Yosemite together!
Why You Should Have a Two-Day Yosemite Elopement
One of the best parts of Rina and Brian’s celebration was that it didn’t have to be crammed into just a few hours. By spreading their elopement over two days, they had space to slow down, explore multiple parts of the park, and enjoy unique activities that felt personal to them! Like paddle boarding at Tenaya Lake and pizza at Curry Village. A two-day elopement gives you the freedom to combine both adventurous activities and relaxed downtime, without feeling rushed! It’s the perfect option if you want your wedding to feel like an experience instead of a schedule, and it allows us to capture your story in a way that feels full and intentional.
