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 and Northern/Central California locations. We specialize in elopements, intimate weddings, and the outdoors.
Stephan and I met while traveling the world as professional figure skaters for Disney On Ice. Together, we've been to over 40 different countries. Once we retired in 2018 we decided to give "normal" life a try, but that didn't work very well for us. We were itching to work with something we were passionate about again. Turning this hobby into our new career 6 years ago was simply the best decision of our lives. Being elopement photographers has allowed us to stay adventurous, work outdoors, meet people from all over the world, and serve them.
Stephan is an incredibly calm person and obsessed with photography (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. As for me, you'll probably find me climbing over some rock or running away to try to find a different point of view than his! Sharing our love for traveling and adventure allows us to connect with our couples and, by the end of the day, we'll feel like we've been friends for ages.
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. All we want is for you to 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!

Why us?
WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.
We believe there is a couple for every photographer, and the same way no couple is the same, no photographers are the same. But being local and knowing these places like the palm of our hands is how we can help you in every step of the way. Although many photographers travel all over for work, we decided to go a different route. We decided to work only in the places we know REALLY well, so we're ready to help you with everything you need, especially if you're coming from out of state or out of the country! We've shot elopements and weddings in Yosemite for over 6 years, and have 100+ five star reviews on Google. So if you love what you see here and like our vibe, reach out and we can't wait to chat!

"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!"
