Allison and Howard
Choosing to marry in one of the most beautiful Nation Parks and also include some if it's finest examples of "parkitecture" Allison and Howard were married in the Yosemite Valley Chapel with a reception at the Wawona Hotel. It was a wedding filled with beautiful simplicity.
Having a lifelong friend officiate their ceremony brought the perfect emotional touch to the wedding. But it was when Howard, in the middle of his vows to Allison, turned to his daughters and promised that they too were included in this union, that the tears of joy began to flow. Then in a moment of pure celebration, Allison and Howard were pronounced husband and wife and rang the Yosemite Chapel bell for all of the valley to know.
Surrounded by the friends and family once again, everyone gathered for a reception in the Sun Room at the Wawona Hotel. With the classic architecture, warm open room, and forest views, it's the perfect place to have a wedding reception in Yosemite that feels both grand and intimate. Delicious food was enjoyed by all while laugher and love filled the room.
With their wedding day priority clearly to celebrate with loved ones, Allison and Howard returned to Glacier Point a few days later to for portraits at Sunset. This gave us the perfect opportunity to be at just the right place and just the right time for portraits while not slowing down their wedding day at all.
