They helped us to have a magical wedding experience even though we were juggling covid shutdowns, forest closures that included our selected ceremony site, and extreme wildfires with smoky conditions. Shawn and Brittany were such a calming and supportive presence that none of these potential challenges took away from our joy, and looking back at the photos fills me with nothing but gratitude for our special day.

Meet Us
Hi! We're Shawn & Brittany. True Eastern Sierra Locals.
Welcome to Yosemite Wedding Photography, a wedding photo team with a passion for exploring the majestic Sierra Nevada. We’re more than just photographers—we're your guides to an unforgettable wedding experience.
Our story is rooted in the Eastern Sierra. The mountains, high desert, and alpine lakes that surround Mammoth Lakes and Bishop. This is where we live, work, and create. We don’t just photograph here, we know how the light moves across the peaks, when the wind settles, and where the quiet, magical places reveal themselves.
Living and breathing the Sierra lifestyle, we’ve spent years exploring its beauty, from the towering peaks of the Eastern Sierra to the expansive "planet granite" of Yosemite. With decades of experience capturing couples in some of the most awe-inspiring places on earth, we’ve developed an intimate knowledge of Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes, and our home Bishop, in the heart of California’s Eastern Sierra.
"Shawn & Brittany are such talented photographers, lovers of Yosemite, and all around good people. The photos they took for our wedding are some of our most cherished possessions. They are also just someone you want around on your wedding day…they are grounded, loving, and helped us stay present in the experience. Highly recommend using them!" ~ Georgie
An All Day Wedding?
Why We Recommend an All-Day Yosemite Wedding or Elopement
Your best memories probably didn’t happen in an hour — they happened over an entire day, or even all weekend.
Whether you’re planning a traditional Yosemite wedding at the Ahwahnee or a wild, off-trail elopement deep in the park, the magic of Yosemite unfolds over time. As local Yosemite wedding and elopement photographers, we’ve learned that the most beautiful light, the quietest moments, and the most meaningful experiences never happen on a rushed timeline.
Here’s why all-day coverage makes such a difference:
It’s about more than the ceremony:
From getting ready to sunset celebrations, river walks, mountain views, and time with your people, a full-day experience lets you actually live your wedding — not just pose for it.
You get the real Eastern Sierra:
We know when the crowds fade, when the wind calms, and when the mountains glow. A longer day gives us the flexibility to guide you to the best light, the best locations, and the most peaceful moments.
Your photos feel like your story:
Not just what happened — but how it felt. A full-day gallery lets you relive the laughter, the quiet moments, the adventure, and the beauty of being married in Yosemite.
No rushing. No checking the clock:
Whether you’re hiking to a hidden viewpoint or hosting a wedding with family and friends, more time means better moments, better light, and a far better experience.
Your Mammoth Lakes or Eastern Sierra Wedding or Elopement Experience Can Look Like This...
A beautiful start to the day:
Quiet moments getting ready at a mountain lodge, cabin, or hotel… or stepping into the morning light in the Eastern Sierra as the day begins to glow.
A ceremony in an unforgettable place:
From iconic venues like the Convict Lake Resort, or June Mountain to hidden alpine locations only locals know, you’ll exchange vows surrounded by nature's grandeur.
Time to actually enjoy your people:
Whether it’s a full reception with guests or a relaxed picnic in the mountains, your day includes space to laugh, connect, and celebrate without feeling rushed.
Golden hour in the best light of the day:
As the sun drops, we guide you to the perfect place — The Alabama Hills or The Buttermilks, a Sierra ridgeline, or a private overlook — for portraits that feel natural, intimate, and cinematic.
A second day for even more adventure:
Many couples choose to keep the adventure going the next day with sunrise photos, new locations, or a peaceful post-wedding session evening session. This gives you more time, more variety, and more of the mountains you came here for.
Ending under the stars:
As blue hour fades and the stars appear, Mammoth Lakes and the Eastern Sierra turn into something magical — one of our favorite moments to photograph and one you’ll never forget.
