SENTINEL DOME, Yosemite Ceremony Location

Lovebirds look on as their officiant concludes their ceremony

HALF DOME, VALLEY VIEWS, AMAZING SUNSETS

Here’s an absolutely incredible elopement venue. In my opinion, Sentinel Dome is the ideal elopement location in Yosemite National Park if you want the most iconic images possible. It has views of Half Dome that compete with Glacier Point but with far, far fewer visitors. But you do have to make the short hike out to the peak and there is a bit of elevation gain that coupled with the high altitude can leave you winded. But trust me, the views and lack of crowds is worth it. If you're eloping to Yosemite, seriously consider this as your destination.
