With indoor activities coming to a halt so many people are finding comfort and beauty in the great out doors this year. Camille and Jordan traveled to Yosemite for a quick getaway to clear their minds in the middle of a global pandemic. After posting our travel dates on instagram about a month ago Camille reached out to me to let me know they were also planning a trip to Yosemite. We quickly set up a time we could do an adventure session with her and her boo. This was Jordan’s first time in Yosemite and we had a blast showing him around. I will never forget the first time I saw Yosemite when I was in my 20s, I was practically moved to tears the minute we drove through the tunnel and saw the valley for the first time. For this adventure session we picked out 4 iconic spots in the valley with some of the prettiest views. It was so much fun doing this session on a weekday, the park was practically empty which gave these two plenty of space to just be themselves. We started the day off with a casual look and switch over to a more formal look for that last few spots. One of my favorite spots of the day was actually very simple and in the trees. The light was filtering through so beautifully that I immediately stopped and gasped envisioning how beautiful the photos would come out in that spot. I almost just walked right past it on our way to a different location. I quickly had these two do a few poses and the photos turned out to be my favorite from the day. Sometimes it’s the most unexpected and unplanned photos that end up being the most jaw dropping.
Yosemite is such a perfect location for any couple looking for an adventure and with a variety of magical mountain views. There are countless locations scattered throughout the part just waiting to be explored. Even though we only did 2 hours of photography we were able to split it up around the park and really took advantage of every minute. Yosemite is really awesome because it is a park that is easily accessible. All of these locations were walking distance from the parking locations. With only a 5 or so minute walk to each spot we didn’t have to waste a minute of sunlight. I really recommend Yosemite to any of my clients looking for session with all the mountain vibes you can get. There is nothing like those skyscraper sized granite walls and beautiful cascading waterfalls around every turn. And not to mention a million trees with perfectly filtering light for those insanely magical backlit photos you ever did see.
If you and your boo are looking for an adventure of a lifetime in a beautiful location let me know! Allen and I absolutely love Yosemite and know every nook and cranny of what it has to offer! We’d love to show you our favorite spots and take some rad photos along the way!
