Let me paint this picture for you…

You decide you wanted to elope in your favorite national park. You’re from out of state so you befriend a local photographer to capture your special day. You spend months planning your day, every little detail. It’s a bit stressful, but you trust your photographer to be there every step of the way…and just like she promises, she is.

She helps you secure a permit, which is 100% needed to get married in a national park. She sends you all the best local vendor recs. she helps create a timeline that fits every important aspect of the day. Since she’s a local, you get the inside scoop on the park! She plans the day according to the best lighting scenarios in the locations you want to explore.

Months later…the day is finally here. You just hiked 2 miles to get to the special spot. You’re in your gorgeous dress, your partners in their wedding attire. It’s sunset and the weather is perfect. You get SUPER lucky and have this place to yourself (pretty rare) and all is well. Nothing else in the world matters except for this moment. This moment of you. Your love. In Yosemite. In your beautiful wedding attire. Promising forever to the love of your life with Half Dome and El Capitan as your witness.

With AIV as your by your side, this is how stress free your day could be too.
