My Story

Shawn Reeder has spent the past ten years exploring and photographing the glories of Yosemite and the High Sierra. He has always loved the outdoors, and was blessed by winning a trip to Yosemite when he was 18. This trip changed his life, as he knew he’d found his home, the Sierra Nevada; so majestically represented by one of it’s grandest valleys.
This introduced Shawn to the High Sierra, “The Range of Light”, the place that has captured his heart and provides a lifetime’s worth of places to explore, photograph, and just be. He started spending summers in Tuolumne Meadows and has hiked, climbed, and basked in the glory of these mountains; finding a deep love for the High Sierra and all it’s subleties of light, mood, texture, and feeling.
Shawn also finds incredible joy in capturing the realness and unique beauty and essence of people, and their interaction with each other and their environment.
“I love the moments when people have totally forgotten that I’m there, and I can capture them in their truest essence. Every single person has their own unique beauty that is only theirs. I strive to capture this is my photography, from the heart.” SR
His creativity, sensitivity and understanding of his natural setting, along with his creative vision of the story of your day make him a stellar wedding photographer, as well.
With these inspirations, Shawn loves to be able to share with others a vision of beauty, through photography, to inspire, and to realize, that we all have this beauty within.
