Stephan & Adriana

BAGAN, MYANMAR

We are Stephan & Adriana, a husband and wife California elopement photography team based just 15 minutes from the gates of Yosemite National Park, working in Yosemite, Sequoia, Mammoth Lakes, and other Northern/Central California locations. We specialize in elopements, intimate weddings, and the outdoors.

Stephan is the main photographer of our duo. He's an incredibly calm person and obsessed with photography (it seems silly that I have to say this, but seriously, the man is obsessed). Throughout your day, you'll be seeing his crazy eyes scanning every single place to find the best lighting and the best photo spots. His brain never stops.

I (Adriana) run the business side of this art, communicate with our clients, and help them plan every single detail of their day. I'm also available for second shooting and LOVE coming along on these days I get to spend so much time planning. It's a one-of-a-kind job, and we don't take it for granted.

We are down to earth and passionate about what we do. Our biggest goal is to make sure you have a seamless experience, from the planning process to your gallery delivery day. With us as your photographers and local planners, you'll get to just enjoy your day and be present, and know that you'll leave with beautiful pictures to cherish for the rest of your lives.

Hey, we're so glad you found us!

Fun Facts

We're advanced scuba divers

During our travels we got certified in Koh Tao, Thailand and fell in love with diving. We've done 50 dives together in 5 different countries!

we are retired figure skaters

We used to skate for Disney On Ice, and that's how we met. Our previous career led us to travel the world, with us visiting 40+ countries together.

WE ARE A PARTY OF 3!

In 2023, we added a new member to this team, our son. He's the craziest, most amazing little dude, and has already been to Yosemite 10+ times.

WE STILL SKATE TOGETHER

Skating is a big part of our lives, and we still skate and lift every change we get. We also coach sometimes and absolutely love it.

WE'VE TRAVELED A LOT

Stephan has been to 75 countries, and I have been to 50. Traveling is the most eye-opening experience, and we're so glad we can explore this world!

WE'RE A MULTiCULTURAL FAMILY

I (Adriana) am originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We visit my home country twice a year and we all speak Portuguese and English.

Why us?

WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.

We've been shooting elopements and weddings in Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park, Big Sur, Mammoth Lakes, and other California locations since 2019, and have 120+ five-star reviews on Google. We've helped couples that came from all over the US and the world (Australia, Singapore, Belgium, etc) plan their day! Most of our couples actually have never even seen their elopement location until the day of. We're two people you can trust. Because we only work in places WE KNOW like the back of our hands, you'll be hiring not only two down to earth photographers who will make sure you have beautiful pictures to cherish for years to come - but you're also hiring experts with local knowledge, experienced travelers, and your soon-to-be friends!

But don't take our word for it, check out what our couples are saying!

"When we finally got to meet them on our wedding day, they were professional yet easy to talk to, like old friends. They knew all the right spots for photos, directed us in poses and ended up capturing the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen (are they really mine?!)."

"We traveled from the east coast and experienced the park for the very first time on the day of our wedding. Crazy, I know! But even as a severely type A person, with a constant need and desire to plan and live in the comfort of knowledge - Stephan & Adriana made me feel like everything was going to be okay, and that couldn't be more true."

"We had a magical morning at Yosemite with Stephan and Adriana on our wedding day. We really appreciated their calm, relaxed energy on the day. We are thrilled with our photos - they are spectacular! Our friends and family can't believe how beautiful they are."

"They made our elopement SO special! Great energy and even better vision. Eased my mind for the wedding day by coming up with a timeline to hit everything we wanted and then some. Our photos came out stunning, using lots of natural lighting and truly capturing our raw emotions."

"Stephan and Adriana were wonderful! We live in Australia and got married in Yosemite. They walked us through the process, giving us guidance for our intimate celebration, and helped us planning a small ceremony from the other side of the world. They are a lovely couple and their work speaks for itself!"
