The Smoky Mountains at sunset on Alex and Emma's wedding day

Yosemite wedding & elopement videographer · CaliforniaGetting married in Yosemite?

Granite cliffs, giant waterfalls and vows with the whole valley as your backdrop. Documentary wedding and elopement films in Yosemite, with travel included.

Mountain people

I got married in the mountains too

Emma and I got married in the Smoky Mountains in June 2025, so I know exactly how it feels to say your vows with mountains all around you, and how much planning goes into it.

I’ve filmed weddings all over California, and Yosemite is the kind of place I live for. Whether it’s a full wedding nearby or a sunrise elopement at an overlook, I film the entire day with every camera and every mic.

Travel is included in every destination package: flights, lodging, a rental car, gas and food. I fly in a day early, always.

Your Yosemite wedding, the whole story

Coverage

At least 2 days

Your wedding day plus 5 hours on another day: the welcome dinner, a rehearsal, a day exploring a sunrise hike or a valley picnic.

Travel

All of it, included

Flights for 2, lodging, a rental car, gas and food, all in your first invoice. No surprise costs.

Peace of mind

I arrive a day early

Always. A delayed flight is not going to be the reason I miss your first look.

Nothing missed

Two shooters + drone

Every package has a second shooter and drone coverage (drones aren’t allowed in national parks, so I’ll use it at nearby venues where it’s permitted), plus every speech and dance in full.

Where to say "I do"

Yosemite spots I’d love to film

Every overlook in the park looks like a movie poster. These are the ones at the top of my list.

Overlook

Glacier Point

Half Dome right behind you and the whole valley below. Sunset here is unreal.

Overlook

Tunnel View

El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall and Half Dome in one frame. The classic for a reason.

Hike-in

Taft Point

A short hike to a cliff edge with a jaw-dropping drop. For the adventurous couple.

Valley floor

Yosemite Valley

Meadows, waterfalls and the Merced River. Easy for guests and gorgeous at golden hour.

FAQs

Yosemite wedding questions

Do you film weddings and elopements in Yosemite?

Yes! Every destination package includes flights, lodging, a rental car, gas and food, so you get one custom number.

Do we need a permit to get married in Yosemite?

The National Park Service requires a special use permit for weddings in the park. Book it early, and I’ll plan the filming around your permit and location.

Can you fly a drone in Yosemite?

Drones aren’t allowed in national parks, so there’s no drone footage inside Yosemite. If part of your weekend is at a venue outside the park where drones are allowed, I’ll bring it.

How much does a Yosemite wedding videographer cost?

My packages start at $6,800 and destination packages include all travel. See the investment page for every package.
