Kyra and Matthew - Yosemite Engagement

Kyra and Matthew visit Yosemite every year for a week with a group of friends and family (this year close to 50). They both have a great love for the outdoors and Yosemite in particular, so it was only natural for them to marry in the valley. Their wedding is coming up quickly, but during their vacation I met up with them for a quick engagement session. Although I had met them once before (their was a couple of feet of snow on the ground back then) and talked with them at great length, I really didn't know for sure what direction the photos were going to take. Everyone has a different reaction to having a camera pointed at them -- some shy up, some act up, some tense up. Kyra and Matthew loved up. Just because we're in Yosemite doesn't mean we have to stay outdoors all day. One of my favorites from the day, exactly as it was in camera. How'd the rocks get in the sky? I love the way the water soaked up this light! Can you tell they're in love? I had a wonderful time with Kyra and Matthew as we traveled through the park that afternoon. I can't wait for the wedding!
