I’ve always thought Yosemite was the perfect place for an intimate elopement. Frank and Melissa certainly proved my theory. An elopement ceremony under the shadow of towering pines with Yosemite Falls in the background, what could be better? From the tranquil meadows to the quiet forest we explored and created beautiful photographs we’ll both treasure forever.

Sunsets, sea cliffs, and a gorgeous couple, this shoot was truly a photographers dream come true. Nina and Miguel decided on El Matador State Beach for their engagement. The park sits just an hour away from Los Angeles(the traffic gods willing) and makes for a spectacular backdrop for engagements, and elopements.

Towering peaks, roaring waterfalls and quiet meadows, engagement sessions in the National parks are never short of magical. Case in point, Patrick and Caitlin's engagement session in the beautiful Sequoia National Park.
