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!

Six months. That in-between place.

Still tiny, but suddenly sitting up.
Still baby, but full of personality.
These sessions are quiet little time capsules—
before the crawling, before the running,
before they’re off to chase the world.

Two girls, two seasons—
and a dad who shows up for both.

Big smile. Little boots.
The kind of joy you don’t have to pose.

She wasn’t trying to be anything but herself—
and that’s exactly what makes this magic.

These are the moments that stay with us forever.
Because sometimes the smallest things really do take up the most room in your heart.💛

Because “sit still and smile” is not in their vocabulary⁠
⁠
And honestly? I wouldn’t want it to be.⁠
⁠
The laughter mid-air, the tiny toes kicking, the wild beach breeze—that’s the magic.⁠
⁠
These aren’t just photos of your kids behaving… they’re memories of them being.⁠
⁠
Because years from now, you won’t miss the perfectly posed moments—you’ll miss this. The sound of their giggle. The weight of them in your arms. The way they lit up when you played airplane.⁠
⁠
Let’s capture that.⁠
