Salty ocean air, the sound of seagulls, & finally nailing the dirty dancing pose.

Stephanie + Lance were a joy to work with! Their ceremony was held up in Incline Village at St Francis of Assisi, then when we finished up family portraits we snuck off to Donner. We stopped at the street they met on, then their family cabin for a few more photos and a celebratory shot for the happy couple. After that, we went off to Rainbow Bridge, then found a dock for them to slow dance and enjoy the sunshine on.

Talk about a dream shoot – I have been wanting to photograph a couple in Yosemite since my first trip to the valley. When Ellen had reached out to me about doing photos for her and Adam, while I had already planned to be in the park – it was like fate!

Eloping is one of the best ways to make sure that your wedding day is totally about you & yours. There’s much less planning stress, you get to choose whether you want a super cool desert wedding, or a cozy spot on the beach, and they’re perfect with this COVID-19 world we live in.
