No stress, no rules — just your love story set against Yosemite’s wild beauty. I’ll take care of the planning and the photos so you can soak up every second together.
I'll plan your elopement day from start to finish!
I'll be your brainstorm specialist, planning wizard and adventure buddy. My specialties are...

providing you with a great experience.
Finding the best spots.
From the start, I’ll keep things stress-free and fun. As part of your Yosemite elopement package, you’ll get a detailed (but fun!) questionnaire that helps you dream up what your perfect day actually looks like — the vibe, the scenery, and how you want it all to feel. It’s the first step to creating a day that’s completely you.
I’ll help you find the perfect spots that fit your vibe — from epic overlooks to quiet corners that feel like you. You’ll get a full location guide packed with sample photos, key details, and insider tips to help you narrow down the best places to include in your day. Together, we’ll build a timeline that flows naturally so you can actually enjoy every moment instead of rushing from place to place.

Together, we’ll build a timeline that flows naturally so you can actually enjoy every moment instead of rushing from place to place.
My top priority? Making sure you actually get to enjoy this whole experience. Each of my Yosemite elopement packages includes step-by-step guidance through park and state permits — I’ll take care of the research, timelines, and applications so you can just show up and have the best day ever.
You’ll have unlimited access to me for planning help, location ideas, vendor recs, travel questions — honestly, anything that pops into your head during the process. Think of me as your go-to adventure buddy and personal elopement expert. Whether you need to vent about permits or want feedback on your dress options for hiking, I’m just a message away to make sure you never feel lost or overwhelmed.
I’ll help you plan every detail so you can just show up and live it. From personalized packing lists (no more “wait, did we forget the rings?” moments) to crafting a seamless, relaxed timeline — every part of your day will feel intentional and easy. You won’t have to worry about where to be or when; you’ll just get to be there and soak it all in while everything unfolds naturally.

I’m not just here to take your photos — I’m here to get to know you. The real you. The goofy laughs, the quiet moments, the inside jokes that no one else gets. Because when you’re comfortable with me, your photos stop feeling like “posing for the camera” and start feeling like you two just being yourselves.
Throughout this whole process, we’ll build a real friendship — so when your elopement day comes, it won’t feel like some stranger following you around with a lens. It’ll feel like hanging out with a friend who just happens to know exactly how to capture every cinematic, emotional, and perfectly unposed moment that unfolds.

"Salisha is AMAZING! We were looking for a Yosemite elopement photographer to capture our special day and I am beyond grateful that we chose to work with Salisha at Storybook Photography. My husband and I never take photos but she worked her magic and the photos came out better than I could have ever imagined. Salisha was such a pleasure to work with, I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She really makes you feel like you’ve known her for ages. She’s also a PRO at posing you if you’re not quite sure how to pose. She has such a creative eye and will think up shots that end up turning out amazing. I can't express my gratitude enough."

I deliver my photos via private online gallery. Every wedding and portrait packages include access to high quality file downloads for each delivered image, available directly from your gallery. You’ll also be able to order stunning prints and products, such as metal-prints (my personal fav), canvases, albums, and more!

A typical elopement day would start with sharing a cup of coffee together, getting ready and a first look at your lodging, driving to our first location to get some stunning photos, after that we usually plan some fun activities for you to share, like a picnic lunch, enjoying some cocktails, or cutting a small cake. After our activity we can travel to our last location to exchange vows together while the sun-sets. This general outline can be customized in any way. Elopements give you the freedom to do whatever you want together!

Every wedding day is unique, but I generally deliver a minimum of 50 images per hour of photographer coverage. I cull through each frame I've captured to weed out any duplicate images as well as those that don't meet my standards, so you only get the best!

Depending on where your location is, you may or may not need a permit. After you’ve decided where you’re eloping I will research and obtain the permit requirements for that area. It’s basically a document signed by the park office that says you’re allowed to do your ceremony there. Permits are pretty simple to obtain and they help assure privacy for your day while also protecting the land and wildlife.

Of course! You can definitely include members of your family in your elopement plans, as long as they are up for the adventure! I recommend inviting only the people you know will help keep the day’s focus on YOU! Some couples prefer to include a very small group (or no one) at the elopement ceremony and then they plan a reception or party to follow on the date or at a later date. Just keep in mind that some locations may have a maximum guest count.
