When couples dream of eloping in Yosemite National Park, they imagine sweeping granite cliffs, breathtaking overlooks, and intimate moments far from the crowds. Abigayle & Colton’s day was all of that and more, and we had the honor of capturing it through Yosemite elopement photography and films. From their emotional first look to their sunset vows, every laugh, tear, and breathtaking view was documented so they can relive it for a lifetime.

A Private First Look at Tunnel View | Yosemite Elopement Photography and Films

The morning began near Tunnel View, one of Yosemite’s most iconic lookouts. Instead of joining the main overlook, we guided them to a more private, hidden spot with unobstructed views of El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall.

Here, Abigayle & Colton shared their first look, an emotional, quiet exchange away from the crowds. With our cameras rolling and shutters clicking, we captured every detail: the sound of Colton’s voice breaking when he saw her, the wind moving through her dress, and the stillness of the valley all around them. Their photos freeze the raw emotion of that moment, while their film brings it back to life; this is what makes Yosemite elopement photography and films so powerful together.

Vows with a View at Glacier Point | Yosemite Elopement Photography and Films

Next, we drove up to Glacier Point for their ceremony. It’s one of Yosemite’s most iconic spots for good reason; the views stretch across Half Dome and the valley below, making it the perfect backdrop for saying “I do.”

As the sun lit the cliffs, Abigayle & Colton exchanged heartfelt vows. In photos, you see the tenderness of their embrace, the tears slipping down cheeks, the way they held hands tightly. In video, you hear the tremble in their voices, the laughter breaking through their tears, and the applause that echoed in the crisp mountain air. Together, their Yosemite elopement photography and films captured every layer of the moment.

Epic Sunset Romantics at Taft Point

After the ceremony, we headed to Taft Point, known for its dramatic cliffs and breathtaking sunsets. This was their time to soak it all in together, just the two of them.

As the sky shifted from gold to pink to deep blue, we documented their laughter, movement, and connection against the most jaw-dropping views Yosemite offers. Their photographs are timeless and cinematic, while their film captures the motion of a twirl, the wind in their hair, and the way they couldn’t stop smiling as the sun dipped below the horizon.

A Waterfall Picnic in Yosemite Valley

To close the day, Abigayle & Colton returned to the valley floor for a cozy picnic with a waterfall cascading behind them. They shared champagne, laughter, and a chance to breathe in the joy of what they had just experienced.

These final moments tied the day together; a reminder that elopements can be both adventurous and laid-back. Their photos preserve the beauty of Yosemite’s landscapes, while their film lets them relive the sound of clinking glasses and the joy in their voices as they celebrated the start of their marriage.
