Convict Lake Resort Wedding, Mammoth Lakes | Rebecca + Chip

One of my favorite places just outside Mammoth Lakes, Convict Lake Resort is a wonderful wedding venue with enough cabins for all the family and wedding guests! When Rebecca contacted me after seeing a previous Convict Lake wedding featured on Mountainside Brides’s wedding blog, I was so excited for the chance to shoot at Convict Lake again! This time I loved ducking into the grove of Aspen trees for the pre ceremony photos. The entire day was gorgeous, windy, and clear. I loved working with this entire family, it was the perfect fit and I am honored that they trusted me to capture this amazing wedding day! I can’t wait for the oppertunity to work in Mammoth Lakes again, such a lovely part of California!

Here are a few of my favorite images….feel free to pin or leave a comment, we’d love to hear from you!

These are the moments that make up a lifetime.

The kind you don’t plan. The kind you can’t pose.
Just a little girl chasing the grandpa who makes her laugh the hardest.⁠
⁠
This is what real memories look like—movement, joy, love.
The way he turns to let her catch up.
The way she thinks he’s the most fun person on the planet.⁠
⁠
It’s not perfect lighting or perfect stillness…
It’s perfect *connection.*⁠

This moment right here: sunshine on their faces, love in the air, and a baby on the way 🌿✨
Big brother is ready (with sidekick pup, of course), and this growing crew couldn’t be sweeter.
There’s something about maternity sessions in open fields… time slows down, and the joy feels extra real.
