A couple of weekends ago I was in Mammoth Lakes, CA with my husband enjoying the mountain views. I remember saying on the way home…wouldn’t it be awesome to shoot a wedding up here. Little did I know that the following weekend I would be! Later that week I stumbled upon a photographer looking for a second shooter for a wedding taking place in June Lake! I was available and all over it. Who could pass up a chance to shoot a wedding in the sierras!

Robbie and Natalie were married on August 8th 2009 at The Double Eagle Resort in June Lake. Their wedding went perfect and the details were amazing. I shot this along side of fellow San Diego photographer Emily James.

Now for some of the photographs!

I loved the lighting when the bridal party was standing around waiting to go into the reception.

Stay tuned for some photos from the reception a little later this week.

Another slideshow, from another great wedding!

Jennifer and Domingo were married last night in Lancaster, CA. I thought I’d post one as a sneak peak from their wedding. This one is from the reception..during the garter toss. I had set my lightstand up in the corner of the room with a second flash.

Check back for more in a few days!

Last night I was the second shooter for a wedding in Pasadena. I photographed this wedding with a friend and fellow photographer Arielle Haze. The couple had an intimate wedding in Pasadena. The ceremony took place at Throop Church and the dinner was held at Cafe Santorini .

I have quite a few photos I wanted to share, so here it goes. I will apologize ahead of time for the long post.

The Bouquet Toss was done in the street below the restaurant. Here is what is looked like from the patio above.
