{Rachael and Brian} Mammoth Mountain Destination Wedding

Rachael and Brian are two of my close friends who I was so happy to hear were planning to get married. Rachael is an amazing artist, feisty redhead, and an all around great friend who always goes above and beyond for people. So when she found a super sweet guy like Brian (who could also keep up with her!) I was sooooo happy for them. Naturally, photographing her wedding at Convict Lake Resort in Mammoth was an honor. For an artist, there is no higher compliment. We trekked up to the mountain for the weekend and had an amazing time. Rachael totally impressed me with her attention to detail and I loved all her invites, and her especially unique vintage typeset guest cards! Check out some favorites here:

Studio or beach? Mountains or fields? No matter the backdrop, what matters most is the love we capture in the middle of it all. I’d love to help you decide what’s right for your family—message me anytime.

Some of the most rewarding moments come from photographing families over time—engagements, weddings, babies, and growing kids. It’s such an honor to be trusted with those milestones. I’d love to be part of your story too—reach out when you’re ready.
