An elopement by Sean Oblizalo from Vows and Peaks

“Yosemite is one of the most iconic places on the planet and is an amazing place to elope. The iconic granite walls make for some amazing photos and breathtaking views, so when Adam and Sarah reached out about their elopement, I knew they were in for a treat.

We went over a couple of different ideas of what a day can look like, and all decided to break up the day into two to maximize the views and adventure. We started with a sunrise ceremony at Glacier Point, where they shared their vows in front of the iconic peak, Half Down. This was a perfect spot that is accessible for friends and family to join in on. We then explored the area before taking a break mid-day.

We then met back up at sunset, where we hiked over to Taft Point. We explored and ran through the wooded forest on the hike over. You can’t miss those dust-kicking moments! We hit Taft at sunset, where we took in the stunning colors as the sunset behind the granite walls in the background. It was the perfect way to cap off an epic day. Yosemite National Park is by far one of my favorite parks, and the exploring never ends after more than 20 years here. I was so grateful to share these special moments with Adam and Sarah!”

“Hey Christian! Tell us a little bit about this couple and your session.”

Rebecca and Cory found me via Instagram and instantly felt a strong connection to my work! Within a week they had hired me to photograph their engagement session in North Carolina, where we live, and to travel with them to California to photograph their intimate wedding in Yosemite National Park!

They chose to have an intimate destination wedding in Yosemite in order to keep the focus of their union on their love and sense of adventure! They were joined by 19 of their closest friends and family members and it couldn’t have been more perfect! They held their ceremony at Glacier Point, overlooking Yosemite Valley, on a Thursday afternoon!

We spent the rest of the day adventuring around Taft Point and the valley! Their sense of carefree love and joyful spirits made this day feel like a dream, being in Yosemite was complete icing on the cake!

We woke the following morning before the sun and made our way back to Glacier Point for a sunrise session! It was ultimately peaceful and massively beautiful! We then drove back down to the valley to play and shoot in the Merced River before saying our goodbyes

On the way down, we caught a SECOND SUNRISE over the ridge while at Tunnel View Overlook! We were in complete awe! Shooting this elopement was a dream for my business and it couldn’t have been more perfect!”
