Glacier Point Elopement at Sunrise | Julia + Michael

Today, I am so excited to share with you this stunning sunrise elopement at Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park. I had the honor of capturing for the lovely Julia and Michael! Let me start by saying how much Julia LOVES National Parks! She told me she has visited half of the national parks in the US, how incredible is that?! She just knew Yosemite was the perfect place, specifically Glacier Point. It’s truly unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and I was absolutely thrilled that they chose this magical place to start their life together. So let’s dive into their special day!

Glacier Point

To start their day, they had their first look at sunrise at Glacier Point. When I tell you it was pure magic…I really do mean it! The moment was so full of love and joy, you could feel the excitement just overflowing from them to start their life together. They said their vows in front of their 20 closest friends and family. It was very intimate which made it feel so much more special!

Mariposa Grove

After that, we spent the day exploring the park and seeing as many sights as we possibly could. We even visited Mariposa Grove, where we were able to take in the beauties of the giant Sequoias. Mariposa Grove has the biggest Sequoias that Yosemite National Park has to offer!

We were so blessed to have gotten to see all that we did because there were warnings the park might close, so when everything worked out we were so excited! They didn’t take a single moment for granted. As we explored, they told me all about how much they love National Parks and the beauty they hold. Getting to know them and talk with them was so incredible!

Ending the Night with Family

Afterwards, the couple met up with their family for an intimate dinner to close out the day. All in all, their Yosemite elopement was one for the books! I have a soft spot in my heart for Yosemite, it’s just so special. I think one of the most breathtaking sights I’ve ever seen was getting to watch the sunrise over Glacier Point. Seeing the sunlight peak through the mountains and illuminate the mountains was simply majestic.

Yosemite holds such a special place in my heart, so getting to share this incredible experience with two beautiful souls was more than I could ask for. Everything fell so perfectly into place, from the park being open, to the perfect weather, it was so meant to be. If you’re unsure if Yosemite is the right place for your wedding or elopement, trust me…IT IS. You won’t be sorry that you chose this incredible place for your day.
