Sieka and Zack’s Wedding in Mammoth Lakes
Ξ June 26th, 2008 | → | ∇ Weddings, People |
This past Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Sieka and Zack’s wedding at the Forest Chapel next to Twin Lakes and Tamarack Lodge in Mammoth Lakes. It was the summer solstice and there was a special energy in the air. The winds were ripping and there was a constant threat of rain, but other than just a few sprinkles, we only enjoyed the fringe benefits of amazing clouds and beautiful light.
I met Sieka in 2000 working in Tuolumne Meadows, so it was so cool to see her after all these years and capture beautiful moments and memories for her and Zack. They have the most amazing energy together and their deep bond is so evident. They have also confirmed this sneaky suspicion I have that I get the coolest brides and grooms ever!
Sieka and Zack, thank you so much for having me to capture your special memories, and I wish you a lifetime of health, happiness, and love.

WOW WOW WOW! I don’t think these images could be more delicious!
And did you order that rainbow in just for this occasion?
Really Shawn, you have the most amazing place for photographs, and then the way you lend your artistic eye to the landscape is just fabulous.
I bet the bride and groom are in love with these photos.
Great job!

Wow. Simply breathtaking. From the lighting to the location - from the composition to the subject - just stunning. I’d love to shoot out there one day.

You got some amazing shots Shawn! I love the backlit ones in the chairlift. At least that’s what it looks like they’re sitting in :).
