Well this isn’t exactly a wedding but the inquiry I had made me start and think of Yosemite. I had an inquiry to shoot a wedding in Yosemite during October. I cant think of a more beautiful location then Yosemite in the fall. The colors and the cool air mixed with the excitement of a wedding, what more could one ask for. Apparently a couple eloping and heading to Yosemite needed a photographer to cover there special day. Which brings me to my photos in this blog post.
I had not yet posted any of my exciting Yosemite camping pictures from this past spring. When I arrived to the Valley floor I was in shorts and a tank top and the weather was beautiful. So, that is the typical spring day you say well ok I agree. However, by the next day at noon a tremendous storm had literally blew in with a roar through the valley. Much like a train or a jet plane screaming by just over the tree tops. As branches were falling from the trees all I could do was wait for one to fall through the roof of my 5th wheel trailer. Luckily I did get spared any damages but huge tree limbs were tossed on the ground everywhere.
Late that afternoon it was in the 30 degree range and getting colder. My friends that had decided to camp in tents well lets just say they were like little pop sickles out there. We all woke up to snow and more snow. It snowed all morning up to about noon. Great fun having spring and winter all on the same trip.
The weather gave me some great photo opportunities that I would like to share. As always any photo on display here on my blog is copyright protected. They can be purchased if you are interested, please just contact me.

Snowing like crazy outside. All this snow in about 1 hour.
