Susan & Ben | Elopement in Yosemite, California

If you know us, you already know that we try to go to Yosemite at least 2-3 times a year for fun. It’s one of the most beautiful places on earth, with its majestic views of valleys and peaks.

Combine that with an elopement, and you have a dream come true. We had the honor of documenting Susan & Ben’s elopement at Yosemite, a first for us (surprisingly). As with many couples this year, they had to adjust their wedding plans during these times, and being the adventurous couple they are, they decided to take part 1 of their celebration in nature.

Susan & Ben have been together for more than 10 years now, something that I super admire. I’ve been together with my girlfriend for almost a year and a half, and being with them during the elopement, I really learned what a decade of chemistry looks like - Susan and Ben were comfortable, patient, fun, and so much more. And it shows in the photos.
