Why Sunrise is the Best Time for a Yosemite Proposal
Planning a sunrise proposal in Yosemite gives you all the perks: soft golden light, minimal crowds, and a quiet moment that feels like it’s just for the two of you. Especially during busy months like summer or early fall, sunrise ensures you get the best lighting and the most privacy which makes for even better photos!!
