Morning shoot in Yosemite

It is always a treat when you get to go somewhere breathtaking to do a photo shoot.  A few weeks ago I was contacted by a woman who wanted to do family portraits in Yosemite.  It was her parents fortieth anniversary. They had met there in Yosemite, and they had married in one of the Yosemite meadows.  I was thrilled that she called me to do the pictures. 
  On the morning of the photo shoot I got up at 5 a.m. to make sure I gave myself plenty of time to get to the National Park, and to make sure I had found a good location.  I wasn't quite positive where the meadow was that the marriage had taken place forty years ago in, but I knew an area that looked similar.  As I was arrived in the park I stopped here and there to take photographs of the gorgeous morning before me on the valley floor.  ( those pictures will come later)  I then proceeded to head to the meadow I had originally intended to photograph the family in.  However as I headed to the meadow, I passed another location that I thought would be much more appropriate.  Turns out, it was the same meadow that the wedding took place in.
   The family was so cute, and so much fun.  Leah and her family live here in CA, but the rest of the group had come for a family reunion in the park it all started in.  I am so glad I got to be there to hear their story.  Enjoy the pictures!
