Alexis and Isiah’s Stunning Yosemite Elopement Ceremony at Bridalveil Falls

This Yosemite elopement began with an intimate, private first look at Tunnel View at sunrise, where the early morning light made the moment truly magical. It was just Alexis and Isiah in their moment allowing me to capture intimate portraits as the sun rose over the valley. The golden glow on them as we captured photos were perfect and is why I love capturing couples during sunrise.

From there, we ventured to a few of my favorite portrait spots in Yosemite Valley, where the sunlight was perfect! During these photos they were more playful and showed off their true personalities. Their love definitely radiated through photos!

Next, we made our way to the ceremony spot at Bridaveil Falls. Here, they were surrounded by the stunning natural backdrop of the waterfall and towering trees! Alexis and Isiah were joined by their close family and friends. They exchanged heartfelt vows at Bridalveil falls and the view of the waterfall was everything! Afterward, we gathered for family photos nearby, at El Capitan visible in the background to capture that iconic Yosemite feel.
