Sarah & Rob

Yosemite National Park

May 30, 2026

Your wedding isn’t just a day on the calendar—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of the people who have shaped your world, all in the same place, all at the same time. It’s the kind of moment that will never happen in quite the same way again. It’s laughter spilling over champagne flutes, the weight of a hand held a little tighter, the quiet magic of just being present. It’s for those who revel in both the elegance and the experience—who would wear a Vivienne Westwood gown without a second thought, knowing the memories made are worth more than a spotless hem. Because what truly lasts isn’t just what you wore or how the day looked, but how it felt—the art, the energy, and the legacy you carry forward.

Considerations

Opt for Taft Point the Night Before

  • Allows for you to still visit Taft Point at Sunset

  • Allows no time restrictions for any evening/reception activities on the 30th

  • Cons: extra day of coverage, subjecting wedding clothes to the elements pre-ceremony, would need additional photo permit

No Getting Ready Photos

  • Con: you won’t have photos of this part of the day

  • Photo start time can begin closer to sunrise, saving some time on the front end of the day

  • This gives more flexibility to allow for activities in the park throughout the day for a different use of hours

  • Note: Photos captured at this time will be artificially lit with flash or whatever light source is present since it will be pre-sunrise

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. A combination of both digital and film images are included in all galleries. How much film is used is usually up to my own discretion depending on your wedding details and timeline. If you have a stronger preference for one medium over the other, I would be happy to honor those artistic requests as much as possible.

  • All wedding collections will live within an online gallery for one year. Once this gallery is accessible, all images can be downloaded on both desktops and smart phones. You are welcome to share your gallery with any friends and family you’d like with unlimited email registrations and downloads. All wedding collections come with a personal printing rights release.

  • If we are contracted for a certain number of hours, that time begins at the first location and runs consecutively. If you are visiting numerous locations that include driving time, time does not pause during the time it takes to go from location-to-location.

  • Extensive photoshopping is not included. I will retouch marks (like acne, scrapes, or bruises) that would otherwise disappear within two weeks, but body contouring or retouching is not included in the base rate. I would be happy to meet your photoshopping needs should they arise once your gallery has been delivered. Photoshopping rates are $30 per image or $150 for extensive photoshop needs billed per hour.
