What If Your wedding Was an Adventure You’ll Never Forget?

Imagine a day that’s not about rigid schedules or overwhelming expectations, but about you and the love you share.

Picture exchanging vows at a stunning wedding venue like the Ahwahnee Hotel, with the grandeur of Yosemite’s granite peaks surrounding you. Or maybe you picture a ceremony at Glacier Point Amphitheater, with panoramic views of the iconic Half Dome in the background. Afterward, you and your guests can explore Yosemite’s magical landscapes or enjoy a relaxed reception surrounded by nature’s majesty.

At Yosemite Wedding Photography, we don’t just capture moments; we help you craft an unforgettable wedding experience. Whether you're exchanging vows with a few guests or hosting a larger celebration, we make sure your day reflects your love, your values, and your dream vision. From the moment we start planning to the final farewell, we’ll guide you every step of the way, ensuring everything runs smoothly so you can fully enjoy the journey.

We’re here to create a wedding experience as unique as your relationship, with all the adventure, beauty, and joy that Yosemite has to offer. Your wedding day should be as extraordinary as your love story—let’s make it unforgettable.

Meet Us

Brittany Colt and Shawn Reeder of Yosemite Wedding Photography.

Hi! We're shawn & Brittany.

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 love story began in Yosemite, a place that continues to inspire and shape our lives. Living and breathing the Sierra lifestyle, we’ve spent years exploring its beauty, from the towering peaks of Mammoth Lakes 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, California’s Eastern Sierra.

Why Choose Us for Your Yosemite Wedding?

Expert Local Guides: We know Yosemite & the Eastern Sierra like the back of our hand. From secret locations to the best lighting, we’ll ensure every detail of your wedding is magical.
Seamless Integration of Two Photographers: On your wedding day, having two photographers means we capture every angle, every moment, and every emotion. With both of us working together, we ensure that no special moment is missed—whether it's the candid laughs during your ceremony or the quiet, intimate moments between you and your guests. This seamless integration allows us to document your day from multiple perspectives, giving you a comprehensive collection of images that tell the full story of your wedding.
Stress-Free, Heartfelt Experience: Your day is all about you and your loved ones, not logistics. We’re here to guide you every step of the way, making sure your wedding is relaxed, fun, and full of memories.

"Shawn was wonderful. He was easy to work with, responsive, and reliable. We had problems with weather on our chosen day and he offered to let us finish our time another day. He is encouraging and has ideas for locations. He knows Yosemite like the back of his hand and does the scouting ahead of time, and knows all kinds of off the beaten path locations for great scenes. Look at his photos for the evidence!" ~ Teresa

an all day wedding?

an all day wedding might sound like alot, but hear us out...

When you think of your greatest adventures, they probably lasted all day, or even all weekend!

We believe that the best moments in life happen over time, not all at once. That’s why we recommend embracing a full-day wedding experience. Here’s why:

It’s not just about the ceremony: Your wedding day is about more than just the “I dos.” With an all-day experience, we capture everything—from the excitement of getting ready to the magical moments during your ceremony, and the joy of being with your guests all day long.
It gives you a true keepsake: Photos from the ceremony are great, but a full day of memories lets you relive how your day felt. Our photos will be a lasting reflection of everything you experienced.
It’s about quality, not quantity: A longer, more relaxed experience means we have the time to capture the moments that matter most to you, without feeling rushed.

Your Yosemite Wedding Experience Can Look Like This...

Capturing the excitement and anticipation of getting ready: Your day begins with the joy and energy of preparation. Whether you're getting ready at a serene lodge or with breathtaking views of the Sierra, we capture every moment as you prepare to say "I do."
A stunning late afternoon ceremony: Picture yourself exchanging vows at iconic venues like The Ahwahnee Hotel, Rush Creek Lodge, June Mountain, or Convict Lake Resort. The golden light of the late afternoon sets the stage for a breathtaking ceremony with family and friends, surrounded by the natural beauty of Yosemite and the Eastern Sierra.
A beautiful evening reception with your guests: Celebrate your love with a lively reception, whether it's an intimate gathering at a rustic lodge or a grand dinner with views of Yosemite's majestic peaks. We’ll capture every special moment as you and your guests share in the joy of the day.
Sneaking away just before sunset for some romantic portraits: As the day winds down, we'll take you for a quiet escape to capture the stunning light of golden hour. Whether it's at a private location or a well-loved spot like Taft Point, your portraits will feel intimate, magical, and perfectly timed.
A second day for even more adventure: One of the greatest benefits of a Yosemite wedding is the freedom to explore even more of this spectacular landscape. After the wedding, we can embark on an adventure the next day, capturing romantic portraits at sunrise, exploring new locations, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of Yosemite at your own pace. This additional time lets us capture more of the magic while avoiding the rush, ensuring you get the full experience of your wedding weekend.
