Yosemite Wedding Photographers

Megan and Ken’s wedding was a rare treat. When I met them in June for their Yosemite engagement session, Megan and Ken shared some of the plans for their celebration. One detail that stood out was their cake. They were carefully planning to bake and decorate their entire wedding cake themselves. In fact, they had done a trial run already. And they brought a sample along. Because of the delicious the test run, I can’t wait to taste see the final product.

The day began and ended at the Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite. This hotel is right outside the park’s entrance. Wedding guests rode tour buses into the Valley for a ceremony at the Yosemite Valley Chapel. This New England style church dates back to 1879. As a matter of fact, it celebrated it’s 132nd birthday in June. The chapel is a popular Yosemite wedding venue. But it also serves the residents of Yosemite.

The Tenaya Lodge reception featured the same Fall colors as the cake. After dinner they fired up a firepit to roast marshmallows and make s’mores. Nick from AMS Entertainment kept the dance floor busy. Pretty soon, wacky photobooth costumes were on the dance floor.

A special thanks goes out to Santa Barbara wedding photographer Bernd Zeugswetter for making the journey to photograph this wedding with me.
