Mammoth Lakes wedding photography, snowboarding wedding photos!

Planning a wedding in Mammoth Lakes is an unforgettable experience. With breathtaking mountain views, fresh snow, and the perfect backdrop for a wedding day, or in this case, the day after! Mammoth Lakes also offers an amazing location for wedding photos. Whether you’re a bride and groom who loves to snowboard or just looking for beautiful mountain wedding photos, this is one of the most unique ways to say I DO! From capturing the bride and groom snowboarding down the slopes to taking pictures of the breathtaking mountain views, I absolutely loved working with this couple. I think it was honestly a match made in heaven between photographer and couple since I already had snowboarding experience and a lot of familiarity with riding at Mammoth. It makes me so happy to capture these stunning images that will last a lifetime. Definitely one of my favorite destination weddings of the year! Here are some of my favorite images from our time riding together!

Those eyes, that quiet curiosity—and the wild part?

How many sunsets do we really get with our kids like this?

Before they stop running toward the waves.
Before they’re too big to carry.
Before beach days are just a memory.

Not trying to be dramatic—just honest. This season flies.

Getting everyone dressed, out the door, and smiling in the same frame? That’s Olympic-level parenting.⁠
⁠
But here's the thing: it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.⁠
⁠
I'll guide you through it, chase the giggles, and capture the moments that matter—whether your toddler is smiling or making their signature “no nap” face.⁠
⁠
And yes… we will get that one magical photo. Maybe even a few.⁠

Not telling what it was, but you could feel it in the quiet.

Honestly? They barely noticed I was there. So in love!!

Just two people, wildly into each other,
cracking up on the beach like it’s the only place that matters.

10/10 would third wheel again.
