Yosemite – Bakersfield Wedding Photography

Yosemite Wedding Videographer for Laura & Ben

Tue, 09 Jul 2013 21:57:06 +0000

Laura and Ben’s wedding was so amazing. Getting to watch their beautiful Yosemite wedding over again in motion just sends me right back to the day. I absolutely love getting to document such unique, personal weddings. We were truly honored to be included in this small but special group of people.

The song you will hear in the wedding video is from Bobby Jo Valentine. He performed during their ceremony and lunch reception. We fell in love with his music that day, and thought it would be perfect for their wedding film. Laura was escorted down the aisle this song, called “Be Mine.” Big thanks to him for letting us use it for their video. If you love it too, it’s available on iTunes!

Yosemite Sentinel Beach Wedding for Laura & Benjamin

Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:20:59 +0000

Laura and Benjamin had the most beautiful Sentinel Beach Wedding at Yosemite National Park. The day began by inviting all their guests out to Sentinel Beach to witness their ceremony. The falls were a lovely backdrop, and we even had some ducklings in attendance. Laura wore the perfect BHLDN gown, and they embraced nature in so many of their details. Addy Rose Designs coordinated the ceremony and provided some beautiful bouquets for the ladies. The celebration then moved to Yosemite Lodge for a lunch. Music for the ceremony and lunch was provided by Bobby Jo Valentine. Not only did he play some of my all time favorite love songs, but his originals are just as beautiful. After lunch while the guests hiked and enjoyed Yosemite, Laura and Ben took portraits in the park.

Yosemite is a magical place. No matter how many times I visit, I never cease to be in awe of the natural beauty of this place. Now, combine the beauty of Yosemite with two amazing people in love… there are fewer things better. When I get to be a Yosemite wedding photographer, it makes my heart so happy, and this amazing day did not end there. In the evening, the festivities continued on to the Narrow Gauge in for a reception. Delicious food, tables adorned in vintage lanterns and wild flowers, the cutest cake ever, M&Ms with their faces on them and more amazing live music. For the reception, Laura and Ben chose The Pine Needles, a quartet from the San Francisco Bay area. Their blend of folk rock bluegrass perfectly complimented the day, and was the perfect way to end the celebration.

Thank you for asking me to be your Yosemite wedding photographer. (Wedding film coming soon, as well as a feature on our Two Wild Hearts page) Here are some of my favorite images from the day:

Rebecca and Brian’s Yosemite Wedding

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 05:37:21 +0000

We arrived this morning at Sentinel Beach in Yosemite National Park to find a deer enjoying his breakfast. It was such a special welcome to the wedding of Rebecca and Brian, and the first of many beautiful wedding experiences that day. Yosemite is the kind of place where the beauty never fades, no matter how many times you experience it. This makes it such a fitting location to have a wedding ceremony. The couple created an aisle and altar with drift wood right on the beach and exchanged vows with a backdrop too gorgeous for words. It was so special and so unique. I’m very honored to have been able to capture these memories for Rebecca and Brian, and now to share them with you.

Big thanks to Brad Cordova for shooting with me and creating this stunning video!
