Night time outdoor wedding in Yosemite

Kate got married outside at night in the middle of winter (barefoot too, and sh was really hoping for snow!) at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park.

I had two cameras. One of them on me with a flash to capture the wedding as it happened with good lighting. But I knew that this alone would not convey the full impact of being outside at night, so I had a second camera on a tripod. I used 15 second exposures to capture both the light and the feeling of the wedding. In some of the images, you can see me and the flash my camera produced more than once in the same frame.

I’ve included not only 15 second exposure images, but also a few of the “regular” shots from the wedding, for context, and because I like them.

Below is a video slideshow of some of my favorite shots from Gary and Rose’s wedding. I shot Gary and Rose’s wedding in Yosemite National Park in 2008. (I shoot a lot of Yosemite weddings. I’m an official Yosemite wedding photographer)

Their wedding was at Glacier Point. There were a lot of fires that week, so the visibility was horrible.

As I posted earlier, Rose wore a brilliant red wedding dress.As you can see, they are Native American, and incorporated that heavily into their ceremony. (I love seeing all of the different wedding ceremonies from cultures the world over in my job.)

To make up for the lack of visibility at Glacier Point, we stopped in a lovely meadow. I’ve passed the meadow over 100 times, I was glad to stop there for a change.It’s so pretty.

I hope you enjoy the video sideshow. The song is “Where I’m Standing” by Schuyler Fisk.
