Yosemite National Park Engagement Photography with Brittany and Ryan

Drag me!

Yosemite National Park is a crazy popular place for weddings and engagement photography sessions these days!  I flew down to the Bay Area for Brittany & Ryan’s romantic wedding at Wente Winery in Livermore, but a few days before the wedding we made the drive out to Yosemite National Park for a portrait session together.  Though our time was short, we made it to a bunch of the popular vantage points in the park. 

If you haven’t made it to Yosemite you should put it at the top of your list!  I’m a huge fan of John Muir and he spent a lot of time in the park, writing about the natural beauty of this epic place.  He was right on the money with his love of the Yosemite Valley and when I finally got to check out the park with my own eyes I was not the least bit disappointed. 

Thank you to Brittany & Ryan for being willing to spend the day adventuring with me out to the park to check out the beautiful landscape and capture some portraits together!

ready to tell your story?

Hi, I’m alex! A seattle wedding photographer who’s been documenting your stories since 2009.

I fell in love with photography almost 20 years ago in a darkroom class, and that love has never faded. What started as a darkroom class in college turned into photographing my first wedding solo in 2010,and I was hooked. The joy. The emotion. The vows. The details. The people.

I realized quickly that my fulfillment came from helping people see themselves in a beautiful, honest way. I move calmly. I guide confidently. I know how to capture all the angles and candid moments without you even noticing. My couples often say I have “photo superpowers” because of how much I capture while still keeping everything feeling easy and low-pressure.


Some photographers find wedding days chaotic.

I find them electric.
