I absolutely love shooting elopements… especially intimate, laid-back nature centered destinations like national parks!  Here is a list of the best places to elope in a national park in the state of California, in my humble opinion.

#1 Yosemite National Park

This park speaks for it’s self, but there is a ton out there about it, so in this post I will feature a lesser known national park.

The Yosemite National Park special permit fee is $150.

#2 Joshua Tree National Park

It is perfect for rad boho elopements, it is truly an epic location to celebrate an adventurous love story!

The Joshua Tree National Park special permit fee is not set, it varies on usage.

Here is one of my favorite photos of Kate, I especially love her simple, organic desert bouquet…

#3 Sequoia National Park

A great location for an intimate National Park wedding among the ancient giants.

The Sequoia National Park special permit fee is $175.
