![]() I couldn’t be more excited to share these Yosemite wedding photos with you today. It was beautiful when we arrived and it only continued to get more and more beautiful: As the sun dipped below the horizon the sky turned pink and orange, lighting up R&L and the epic mountain range beyond in stunning colors. They appreciated the view and hung out with each other and I captured gorgeous photos of them in this spectacular place. We explored the area (I’ve been here many times and it was my pleasure to help share this place with them), appreciated the view, and received many well wishes from other guests on vacation here at the top of Yosemite Valley. When we arrived, Half Dome was bathed in golden, late afternoon sunlight (the *dream* for a Yosemite wedding photographer!), with just a bit of soft color in the sky. R&L headed up to Glacier Point for their first visit on this trip and we celebrated their wedding and their marriage with a gorgeous pink and orange sunset and an epic view of the mountains from above. ![]() Half Dome stands tall on the horizon and the mountains stretch out beyond the iconic rock, catching the last light of the day in a soft and beautiful alpenglow on the mountains. One of the greatest pleasures in the world that comes from being a Yosemite wedding photographer is getting to see the sunset over the Sierra Mountain range from the famous Glacier Point with one of the couples I work with. 2-minute drive to Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine RailroadLooking for my Yosemite elopement guide?

Some of the breathtaking main attracts are El Capitan, Half Dome, Mariposa Grove and Tuolumne Meadows.

Yosemite National Park encompasses over 700,000 acres across east central California and the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It's a gorgeous spot on Highway 41, surrounded by the tall trees of the Sierra National Forest. The Tenaya Lodge is just two miles from Yosemite, in the small community of Fish Camp. With five on-site restaurants, an abundance of outdoor recreational activities, two pools, and a wonderful fitness center and spa, this is a nice place to feel a bit pampered in Yosemite - but keep in mind that many of these "perks" (such as Wi-Fi and the activities) come with extra fees. The quaint cottages are a short walk from the main lodge and come with fireplaces and private balconies. The rooms are modern and covered in rich autumn colors, though some of the furniture could use some sprucing up. It's a bit like a fancy hunting club’s headquarters - the large, rustic reception area has high ceilings with dark wooden beams, and many cozy chairs and couches for relaxing. It’s a comfortable enough place with a homey ambiance, and simple decor inspired by Native American and Southwestern patterns as well as the great wilderness just beyond its walls. The Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite is a 294-room, four-pearl hotel surrounded by Sierra National Forest, about two miles from the South Gate entrance of Yosemite National Park.
