from the photographer... "As a photographer who loves to travel, it is always such a joy when I get the opportunity to photograph an adventurous couple like Kristen and Jon. These two reached out to me and wanted to do an engagement session at the spot he proposed, which also happened to be one of the most beautiful places in the world: Yosemite National Park. We started out at Glacier Point, in front of Yosemite’s most recognizable landmark, Half Dome. Kristen wore a beautiful long flowy, dress and her fiancé Jon was dressed like a true gentleman in a suit. We had the most beautiful views. We spent the rest of our afternoon on an intimate hike up to the beautiful views of Yosemite overlooking Yosemite’s other most recognizable staple, El Capitan. We were thousands of feet above valley floor. It was one of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen, and on top of that we had the most beautiful sunset. It set in colors that I had never seen before. And what transpired are a series of photos that captures both the vastness of nature and the romance of two people in love. How often do you get to photograph a couple in a place like this?"
