Samantha and Ben both agreed the idea of a big, fancy wedding didn’t feel right to them. Instead, they road tripped across the US to elope in Yosemite National Park! Their Yosemite elopement started with a first look on the Merced River, followed by a ceremony in El Cap Meadow, then a romantic picnic and portraits up at Glacier Point for sunset!

When planning their wedding, Stephany and Anthony decided they wanted to prioritize the beauty of Yosemite over any traditional venue, so they invited just their closest family and friends to join them on Tenaya Lake in the high country of Yosemite National Park for their intimate wedding ceremony and picnic-style reception.

With so much of their relationship being based on travel and adventure, Allix and Tate knew they wanted to have their wedding somewhere beautiful and meaningful instead of a traditional venue. They had fallen in love with the Redwoods of Northern California time and time again from trips together in the past, so it only felt right to be married among them as well.
