Zac and Emily had the sweetest sunrise Yosemite engagement photos at Tunnel View and Swinging Bridge Meadow in Yosemite National Park! The day before their engagement session, Zac had surprised Emily with a proposal after hiking up to upper Yosemite Falls where he popped the question! Zac had a nearby tourist take the photos while he proposed. It all turned out so perfectly, and of course, Emily said yes! The next day he decided to surprise her at sunrise at Tunnel View for an epic engagement session! It was nothing short of magical. I’m so honored that Zac chose to reach out to me to be their Yosemite engagement photographer! Fun fact – once Zac and Emily got their photos back, they loved them so much that they asked me to capture their April 2024 wedding in Texas!

Why You Should Plan an Epic Surprise Proposal in Yosemite or Have Sunrise Yosemite Engagement Photos

As a Yosemite photographer, I may be a bit biased, but I truly believe that there is no other place in California when it comes to catching an epic sunrise. If you’re looking to plan a surprise proposal or looking for the perfect spot for your engagement session, Yosemite National Park is a great choice! Take a peek at my “How To Plan A Surprise Proposal At Yosemite National Park” for all the details on how to plan the most epic proposal!

Not only do you have access to tons of different backdrops and epic views such as Tunnel View Yosemite or Swinging Bridge Meadow, but you can have something a bit more unique for your session instead of going to the beach, park, etc. It’s also incredibly romantic even if you’ve been before. And of course, Yosemite isn’t just perfect for surprise proposals or engagements. Yosemite is also the perfect location to plan a Yosemite wedding or Yosemite elopement with the most epic views.
