Zeth & Stephanie’s Yosemite Engagement Turned Adventure Session
A Yosemite Proposal Filled With Wonder
Zeth planned a moment Stephanie would never forget, a romantic Yosemite proposal. With the valley spread out around them and iconic granite cliffs towering above, he got down on one knee and asked the big question. The joy and surprise on Stephanie’s face said it all, and that “yes” marked the start of a brand-new adventure.
But instead of stopping after the proposal, we kept the day rolling and turned it into a full Yosemite engagement session.
From “Yes” to Adventure
That’s the magic of Yosemite, once the proposal happens, you’re already in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Why not use that energy to capture even more memories? Yosemite Engagement Session? LET’S DO IT!
After Zeth popped the question, we explored together. We wandered through open meadows with Half Dome glowing in the distance, found quiet spots by the river, and soaked in the golden light filtering through the pines. Every turn in Yosemite offers a new backdrop, so their engagement gallery became a full story of their love, from the big moment to the calm in-between ones.
Engagement Session Highlights in Yosemite
Spending more time in the park allowed us to mix the iconic views with the hidden gems. A few favorite stops included:
Tunnel View → Where their proposal began, with sweeping views of El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall, and Half Dome.
Cooks Meadow → Wide-open fields framed by the cliffs, perfect for candid, natural moments.
Merced River → Reflections of Half Dome and a peaceful spot to breathe it all in together.
Glacier Point → Amazing 36 views of Half Dome and the Yosemite Valley!
By slowing down and spending the day together, Zeth and Stephanie ended up with more than just proposal photos, they created a collection that felt true to who they are.
