About this vendor
I'm a wedding photographer because I relish love stories!
I specialize in natural-light outdoor photography. I am best known for making my clients feel comfortable in front of the camera and documenting those “in-between” moments that tie your wedding together. Through my work I capture genuine love between joyful brides and grooms. Living and working at Yosemite National Park’s southern gate has given me deep insight into planning and composing photos that capture nature’s beauty in each season. Yosemite is, I believe, one of the most stunning places I ever could have found myself. I am simply blessed to be a wedding photographer in Yosemite National Park. I photograph full day weddings and elopements in Yosemite.

Krystal gave us the best wedding photography experience we could ask for! Every moment was smooth and felt fun. She has a great intro process that helped put our minds at ease and ...
got us excited that we chose her to photograph our wedding. Krystal arrived a little early to catch me still getting ready in my dress, our wedding ceremony, reception, cake cutting, and bouquet toss, plus some great group and couple pictures. We felt completely comfortable and had a great experience. She truly went above and beyond! We can’t wait to see the final pictures :)
Krystal was absolutely fantastic and I can't recommend her enough. From the first moment I spoke with her over the phone I immediately liked her and knew she'd be a wonderful photo...
grapher at the wedding. Leading up to the wedding she had a great little date night “getting to know you” form for each of us to fill out, which I can tell she used when it came to the wedding day. She showed up early to get photos of my dress and our rings, and was so great the entire evening! We felt so comfortable taking pictures with her and she made it really fun for us. She also got tons of photos of our family and friends which were so great to see and captured some amazing moments with some ninja skills! The photos came out absolutely stunning and it’s going to be so hard to choose which ones to print. If you’re having a wedding up by the Yosemite area, Krystal is your go to photographer!
Krystal was a dream to work with from the beginning to the end. Very gracious and flexible as we worked through delays and changes during the pandemic. In the end, we got hundreds ...
of gorgeous print worthy images that I cannot stop looking at.
Leading up to the day I had several detailed conversations with Krystal to plan out exactly what we were looking for. I made pinterest boards for poses, edit, and locations, all of which she meticulously combed through in prep for our wedding day.
The day of our wedding, Krystal had a detailed timeline for us so that we could get every location we wanted in the park. I was worried that it would be stressful and cramped, but her positive energy and great directions actually made it really fun! I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day in the park with my fiancée and just playing around getting what I knew were great shots. She went above and beyond in every way. During the ceremony I don't even remember seeing her, and yet there are fabulous and intimate photos there. From the reception, she captured all the moments, including the toasts, first dance, father-daughter dance, and my guests having a great time. In the editing process, she shared options with us for color and tone to make sure she achieved our vision. I will always cherish these priceless images of our best day ever.
My husband and I did a private vow renewal in Yosemite, and we couldn't have picked a better photographer! Krystal truly made the day incredibly special for us. Everything was perf...
ect because Krystal put so much care into helping us feel comfortable while setting up memorable moments, like our exchange of vows at an empty Cathedral Beach in view of El Capitan. The thoughtful idea of adding in a picnic at the end of our time with her was the cherry on top of the experience. That was even better than I had imagined it would be, and it was a fantastic ending. Krystal was thorough and clear from the planning of locations to the actual photography session, and the photos turned out beautifully! It is clear that Krystal is experienced and incredibly talented in photographing life's big moments in natural ways.
Krystal is an amazing photographer! Super down to earth and a blast to work with! We didn’t get pictures done on our wedding day, so we reached out to her a few months later to get...
them done. She was able to work with us and made sure that day was just as special, if not more special as the real day! She made sure to get our photos back to us quickly and they turned out gorgeous!
Krystal was simply amazing to work with. I knew from the moment I called her that she would be the perfect fit. The day of the wedding she was just a rockstar. She captured every m...
oment I wanted and more. My family is very complicated and Krystal and Sean, her assistant, definitely eased each situation and honestly just made everything so easy for me. I was blown away when I received all of my wedding pictures. Every picture she took was so beautiful and I have so many favorites! Krystal and Sean, Thank you again for your hard work and just making our wedding look like a complete fairytale. I'm so happy that I can look back on your beautiful pictures and remember each and every moment of our wedding.
Krystal captured our wedding perfectly! She knows Yosemite Valley so well and took us to the best spots so we could capture gorgeous photos! She's hard working, very professional, ...
but also fun and easy going. We loved working with Krystal and would recommend her highly!
Ok, Krystal is seriously the best. We got married in July at Tenaya Lodge. As we live over 4 hours away, I initially expected it to be difficult to work with a photographer from "a...
far". However, Krystal and I were able to connect many times before the wedding via emails, phone calls, etc. She made it easy.
Our wedding day was the first time we actually met Krystal face to face. She was SO easy to work with, fun, upbeat, and helped to calm my nerves leading up to the big moment. My whole family and wedding party raved about how great she was and how much they loved the photos.
Our pictures were stunning--more beautiful than we could have hoped for, and we will treasure them for many years to come. Krystal was able to truly capture "us".
I got married in May and Krystal was my photographer. She was absolutely amazing! I was so nervous about taking pictures, but she made me feel so comfortable the whole time and was...
so sweet, patient, and thorough. It was a great experience! Also the place I got married at wasn't very picturesque, but she did such a great job! I couldn't believe it! I am so happy she was my photographer. She's a truly talented woman and in my opinion the best! Thanks Krystal!
I absolutely HATE having my picture taken. I never know how to stand, where to put my arms or how big to smile. I always look odd & awkward in pictures. I almost didn’t even hire ...
a Wedding Photographer, because I figured I wouldn’t be happy with the pictures anyway. Boy, was I wrong! I am SO HAPPY I did hire a professional Photographer… and I am SO HAPPY that Photographer was Krystal Preciado. She is super talented and fun to work with! She knows how to make you feel comfortable, in order to capture all those naturally beautiful moments on film. And when I wasn’t sure how to stand, where to put my arms or how big to smile… Krystal offered suggestions. Whether it was a candid shot or a posed shot… our wedding photos turned out BEAUTIFUL, far beyond expectations! And we have Krystal to thank for that…
We eloped (we're from the Midwest), so it was difficult to find a photographer we liked and trusted for California wedding. She handled all my paranoid questions extremely well whe...
n we first talked on the phone :) And the first day we met, on my wedding day, she was warm and welcoming. She felt like part of the family and so easy to work with on such an important day. Her prices are also amazing (we were shocked by prices, coming from the midwest!!). She even worked hard to get us a few pictures for our reception we had 2 weeks after our wedding. And the pictures were even more beautiful than I imagined. She's a wonderful choice!!
Krystal was great - made you fell comfortable and thought of photos to take. Wants to know what you want. She takes photos of the first look (bride and groom) meet before the wed...
ding. It was very emotional and worth seeing each other before the ceremony.
Krystal Preciado is amazing! She was so patient and friendly with everyone at our wedding and she worked so hard! She was very easy to work with before, during, and after our weddi...
ng.I love her artistic and creative ability and she will do exactly what you ask her to do or just run the show, which is more my style. If I was to do it all over again, (thank goodness I'm not), I would have maybe been more specific about a few of the shots I've seen elsewhere that I really liked but I didn't really have the foresight or mental whereabouts to plan like that so Krystal just took over and created amazing pictures and memories. I can't say enough about her work-she is awesome!
