Monique & Jon’s Yosemite Elopement
Sunrise at Glacier Point, Sunset at Taft Point
Monique and Jon’s Yosemite elopement started at sunrise at Glacier Point, where the valley slowly lit up beneath them. With quiet views of Half Dome and soft morning light, they exchanged vows in a way that felt calm and completely their own.
Later in the day, we made our way out to Taft Point for sunset. As the light dropped behind the cliffs and the sky shifted into blue hour, the entire experience felt slow, intentional, and real—exactly how an elopement day should feel.
If you’re thinking about planning a Yosemite elopement, this gallery gives you a real look at what a full-day experience—from sunrise to sunset—can feel like.
Planning a Yosemite Elopement at Glacier Point & Taft Point
Glacier Point and Taft Point are two of the most iconic locations for a Yosemite elopement. Glacier Point is perfect for sunrise ceremonies with panoramic views of Half Dome, while Taft Point offers dramatic cliffside views that are ideal for sunset and blue hour photos.
Timing, permits, and crowd levels all play a big role in how your day unfolds. Choosing the right locations and building a timeline around light and privacy can completely change your experience.
