One can always plan and hope for an incredible sunrise but the weather and location doesn’t always cooperate. Too much cloud cover, no clouds whatsoever, the suns behind a mountain, there are just so many variables that can make the sunrise less than what you were dreaming of. But for Ian and Linda the stars aligned and their ceremony turned out extraordinary.

It’s not hard to see why Matt and Rachael chose Bryce Canyon National Park for their elopement adventure. The multicolored strata of the cliffs and towering Hoodoo’s make Bryce Canyon’s landscape truly unique.

These two lovebirds decided to have their first look amidst the golden light of sunrise at the world famous Tunnel View viewpoint in Yosemite. While normally a crowded spot, not many get out of bed this early so we had the place virtually to ourselves.

Ally and Christian were an absolute joy to work with! A quick glance at their photos and it’s easy to see just how much they love each other.

I met Abby and Cleave at sunrise for an intimate wedding ceremony with their family and friends. As the golden rays of the sun peaked down into the Yosemite Valley we set off to explore the winding trails through quiet meadows.

Towering rock formations, the majestic peaks of the Sierra Nevada, and a lunar eclipse. Despite all that the real star of the day was the couple themselves. Take a look at this love story you won’t soon forget.

It’s not often an elopement consists of overcoming broken bones and gusting winds. But despite it all we prevailed, creating a series of wedding photos in Glacier National Park that are as touching as they are spectacular. This one really shows off why East Glacier is one of my favorite spots in the park.

What a whirlwind of a day. From the romantic first look, to the last kit in the pink twilight of dusk, this was one heck of an elopement. These two lovebirds tied the knot on the stony shore of the Merced River with Yosemite’s El Capitan Towering above. You’ll just have to see for yourself how perfect the setting was for this love story.

From a quiet sunrise at Taft Point, to an unforgettable sunset at Olmsted Point, these two love birds traveled with me from one end of the park to the other. All the while creating amazing images and seeing the very best Yosemite has to offer. You gotta check this one out.
