Convict Lake Resort Wedding Photography

Convict Lake Resort in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is the perfect setting for a winter wedding. With its breathtaking views and tranquil atmosphere, it’s the perfect place for a bride and groom to exchange their vows and begin their new life together. From intimate ceremonies to grand receptions, Convict Lake Resort has all of the amenities to make your mountain wedding an unforgettable experience. I absolutely loved working with this couple and love photographing weddings at Convict Lake. I have been lucky to shoot several weddings at Convict Lake and every time I feel so lucky to be a part of the big day. I have gotten to know some of the best locations for photos and love how this wedding venue looks different at every season of the year. Here are some of my favorite images from the day!

Your photos shouldn’t just sit on a computer—they should live in albums, frames, and prints you see every day. If that sounds right to you, I’d love to help design it.

What I’ve learned over 20 years is that every family has their own rhythm, and the best portraits come when I let that guide the session. If you’d like photos that feel like your family, let’s chat.
