Your images will tell the story of your day
Invest in what lasts. As elopement photographers we're here to guide you through the process and to capture the only thing from your wedding day that will last forever - your images.
We're Stephan & Adriana, husband and wife photo & video team specializing in Yosemite weddings and elopements. We've been shooting elopements in Yosemite and other California locations since 2019, and absolutely love that this is our job and our life. We used to skate for Disney On Ice - hence the crazy pose by Half Dome you see - don't worry, we won't make you do that ;)
But we WILL help and guide you throughout the whole planning process and make sure all you have to say is show up and say "I do"! We know these places like the back of our hands and will be your guides! We can't wait to help you plan the perfect mountain elopement!

We highly recommend their videography! We were absolutely blown away by our wedding video and could not have imagined a more beautiful recap of the best day of our lives. They very clearly love what they do and we could not imagine our day running as smoothly as it did without them."

"We added videography to our package last minute and we're so glad we did. I've watched our video a billion times. I would not hesitate to contract Stephan & Adriana. You certainly won't regret it, and you'll be left with images that so perfectly capture your best day ever."
The first step is to reach out via our inquiry form. After that, I (Adriana) will send you our complete Investment & Pricing Guide. From there, we can keep chatting via email or on the phone/video chat, whatever works best for you.

After learning a little more about your wedding day and getting to know you two, we can pick a package that works best for you! We'll send you a contract so we can secure your wedding date ASAP! A signed contract and a deposit are required to secure your date.
PACKAGES & BOOKING
Before the big day, we'll send you a pre-wedding questionnaire so we can create your wedding photography timeline. This will ensure you'll have plenty of time to simply ENJOY your day, and still get amazing pictures and videos to cherish for years to come.
building your timeline
It's finally here! Throughout your elopement/wedding day, we'll be there to catch every moment. Our approach is a mix between posed and candid images. We will direct you throughout the day as well as just be present with you and capture every moment in between.
THE WEDDING DAY
Once your wedding day is done, we'll be working on telling your story. We deliver sneak peeks within 72 hours of your wedding date so you can share them with family and friends right away. Your full photo gallery will be delivered within 5 to 7 weeks from your wedding date, and your video will be delivered within 6 to 8 weeks.

EASE OF COMMUNICATION - you'll only need to sign one contract and communicate with one vendor (instead of two) - us!
PEACE OF MIND - knowing your photo + video team is made of locals (actually, we live 15 min from the park) and know Yosemite like the back of their hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
We've been doing this for over 7 years now (!!!). In 2018, we retired from our previous career (professional skaters with Disney On Ice) and decided we couldn't live life without working with something we were passionate about. This became our career, and Yosemite became our home and our specialty. With over 120 5-star reviews on Google, we're two people you can trust and lean on!
It depends on the number of hours of coverage you'll have, and the "events" you'll have throughout your day. The estimated length will be in your contract. But our final edited videos can range from 2 - 7 minutes total. Our goal is to compile the best moments of your day and create a video that you and your families will wanna watch over and over again!
We subscribe to different websites that provide licensed songs. Unfortunately, we can not use any song in a video without licensing it, because that's against copyright policies. Most "popular" songs are very hard and very expensive to license. But you're more than welcome to check out the licensed songs on those websites and let us know if you have a preference!
No, but I would say 85% of our work for the year is done in Yosemite. We live so close to the Park and know the Park like the back of our hands. But we do also work in Sequoia National Park, different areas of Mammoth Lakes, Big Sur, and other beautiful California destinations.
Absolutely. Once you book us, you'll receive our 80-page Elopement/Intimate Wedding Guide. This Guide contains a LOT of information that will help you brainstorm and plan your wedding day, as well as a list of recommended vendors (makeup, hair, flowers, officiants, and more). You're not obligated to use them, but these are local vendors we trust and work with frequently.
The turnaround time for your photo gallery is 5 to 7 weeks from your wedding date. We always deliver a "sneak peek" gallery 2 to 3 days after your wedding, so you have something to share with everyone while you wait for the whole gallery! Video editing takes a bit longer, so your final video will be delivered 6 to 8 weeks from your wedding date.
We do not have a set limit to what we deliver. After a wedding day, we go through thousands of images and pick the best ones. From there, those get edited by us - we do not outsource editing. Everything that's beautiful and part of your story will make it into the final gallery. Although there's no exact number, it averages around 100 images/hour.
Technically, no. But we are pretty involved in the planning process, so a lot of our couples do not need a wedding planner. I (Adriana) have a Type A personality, so organization and planning are two things that I love, and I help our couples throughout the whole process. While Stephan is busy editing or shooting, I'm making sure you're being guided the whole time so you're not overwhelmed.
To keep things fair with everyone, booking works on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve your date, you're required to sign a contract and pay a retainer fee. Once those 2 things are done, then your date is officially blocked on our calendars and you'll receive our detailed Elopement/Intimate Wedding Guide so we can begin planning!
