Sunset Elopement at Glacier Point: A Dreamy Yosemite Wedding Experience

As a local Yosemite Photographer, I get to tell so many love stories at Glacier Point. As touristy as it is, Glacier Point is one of my favorite locations in the park! Yosemite has the type of magic that you can’t explain, but rather just have to feel…and when you're standing at Glacier Point with the sky turning soft pink and purple, it feels like time slows down. This Glacier Point Elopement was one of those moments you wish you could bottle up forever.

These two stood hand in hand as the sun dipped behind Half Dome, wrapped in that golden hour glow. As the sky faded into dreamy cotton candy colors, we brought out lanterns to keep the magic going. Your big day doesn’t have to end when the sun goes down! I mean, look at these photos!!

Glacier Point is easily one of the most iconic spots in Yosemite National Park and for good reason. The views are insane in the best way. But being such a popular location, it can also get superrrr busy! That’s why it’s so important to have someone on your side who knows the area inside and out. That’s where I come in!
