Documenting this day was a true honor. Being a part of Erin and Matt’s journey was a wonderful experience. If you’re considering a Yosemite wedding or an elopement, the beauty of this place is unmatched.

Kate Michelle Photography photographs an elegant wedding at Château du Sureau near Yosemite

I had the privilege of photographing a stunning wedding at Château du Sureau, just outside Yosemite. The elegant affair was a beautiful Jewish Wedding filled with tradition and love.

The bride and groom looked absolutely radiant in their attire, with the bride wearing a gorgeous white gown and the groom in a classic white suit. The white roses adorning the venue added a touch of elegance and beauty to the day.

The ceremony was filled with meaningful Jewish traditions and heartwarming vows. The Horah dance had everyone on their feet, and moms in the air. The French-inspired Château du Sureau provided a picturesque backdrop for the festivities.

The Michelin-star chefs provided a delicious menu that had everyone raving. The table-scape designs were exquisite, creating a romantic and enchanting atmosphere for the reception.

As the night went on, the party kicked into high gear with dancing and celebrating. It was a truly magical day filled with love, joy, and beauty. I am grateful to have been a part of such a special event and to have captured all the precious moments for the happy couple.
