Being the…read moreMammoth local that she is, she even hooked us up with some great food recommendations, which we really appreciated. The sneak peeks were supposed to take about a week, but she sent them literally the next day--and they turned out AMAZING! Kayla is incredibly friendly and so easy to talk to. We usually don't take many photos together and were a little worried things might feel awkward, but she guided us the whole way and made us feel completely comfortable. Because of her, the entire shoot felt natural and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Highly recommend! Would definitely book again for any future shoots!

She really put us at ease, and made the whole process so easy. On our elopement day Kayla and her assistant were right on time and were super professional and pleasant to be around. We immediately felt comfortable sharing our day with her, and were glad that we chose to have her ordain our ceremony. After our ceremony we did a short hike to get some sunset photos, and she kept us on time and moving while still capturing lovely shots. She was our "brain" for the entire day which allowed us to be present with each other instead of worrying about the timeline, our families, the light, etc. It was truly a perfect day, and we were so happy that we chose Kayla to document and manage it all.

We had three separate photo shoots, and each one was unique and stunning. First, he joined us on the mountain for a snowboarding session--spending two hours capturing us completely in our element with the most breathtaking mountain backdrops. Then on the morning of our wedding, he met us at sunrise for an offsite shoot across multiple scenic locations. Those photos turned out absolutely magical. And on the day of the wedding, he flawlessly captured every important moment--from beautiful candid shots to portraits of us and our guests. Not only is he extremely talented, but he's also just a genuinely great person--chill, personable, and such a calming presence to have around on a busy and emotional day. We're so grateful for everything he did to help us remember this time forever. Highly, highly recommend!

Pretty sure Brandon is the most sought after wedding photographer in the Mammoth area - and rightly…read moreso, he's AMAZING. Firstly, it's important to know what style of photography you want for your wedding. Brandon knows the mountains/nature in Mammoth incredibly well and can give you the most epic nature/landscape shots. Jaw dropping shots. That said, if you're someone looking for a lot of the traditional, more romantic, soft lighting, focus on details, first look, group poses, getting ready, etc..., Brandon may not be your guy. But if you're looking to integrate your wedding with the nature landscape and dramatic lighting... book him now. If you're in Mammoth getting married, you're probably the more adventurous type anyway :) We had an 130 person wedding at McCoy Station during a year with epic snowfall. So much snow on the ground and Brandon always knew what to do with it. He also knows McCoy and Mammoth so well that we dictated our wedding schedule around his recommendations... from getting to the top of the mountain for sunset shots to epic night shots at the end of the night. He also stayed basically until the end of the night so we got tons of great party shots too. He offered a free engagement photoshoot with his wedding package, as well as a 20 page photobook post wedding. He was super quick (~1 week) to get the sneak peaks to us after the wedding and really wasn't long for us to the the full download. Finally, Brandon is such a great and nice guy to work with. Always smiles, always a good time. Book him fast as his schedule books up quickly!!

It was somewhat unexpected but I have to tell you, Brandon wasn't phased by it or even our last minute (literal minute) of changing our outside venue location. He is seriously talented and so easy to work with. He doesn't make you feel awkward at all and has a way of making you feel like you've known him forever. His energy is infectious and he made me feel really excited about the snow. The photos came out absolutely incredible. I've had so many people ask who my photographer was. And even though Mammoth is already a beautiful place, he knows exactly where to go to get these incredible shots. He will guide you and make you feel comfortable- even in crazy wind and snow! Seriously, don't hesitate to hire him, you will not regret it.

What a pleasure it was to work with Julianna for our engagement pictures at Convict Lake!…read moreEverything about working with Julianna was so great; from discussing and debating locations, coordinating schedules, having an awesome and fun session together, and Julianna returning beautiful photographs. If you're looking for someone who knows all the gorgeous scenic spots along the Eastern Sierras, look no further. She knew all the spots and had great suggestions, making it very easy on us. We were nervous to shoot but Julianna provided great direction and made the session really enjoyable and fun! Despite some weather that we couldn't control, we are thrilled with how our photos turned out and we can't wait to share them with our friends and family. Julianna's photography and editing style are unmatched and I would highly recommend working with her. Thanks again Julianna!

If the universe has brought you to Bruce Willey, and you are in need of beautiful photographs, then…read moreyou are a lucky person. Because not only will you leave with the highest quality, most beautiful photographs you can imagine, but you will also leave with a new friend. For whatever reason, hiring a photographer is usually delegated to the groom. Such was the case for my wedding and I was determined to not mess it up. Since we are getting married at Convict Lake, I wanted a photographer to capture the natural beauty of a place. Minaret does so, but they were expensive and booked for the weekend of our wedding. Several hours of navigating the murky waters of the internet later, and I was brought to Bruce's page. His photographs were just what we wanted and he seemed like a pretty cool guy so I emailed him asking for his availability. A couple hours later, he confirmed that he was available. We talked about our backgrounds, added each other on social media and became well acquainted. But then Bruce did something that truly warmed my heart. He realized that since I am fresh out of grad school, I am in mucho debt. He saw that while we still wanted to have a beautiful wedding, we also have to cut corners because of our budget.He saw all this and offered a discount up-front. No negotiation. No hassle. Just pure good-ness. It was a breath of fresh air in our increasingly capitalistic society and revitalized our wedding planning. From then on it was just one great thing after another. Free engagement shoot. Included Photobooth. Funny emails. Dogtogropher. etc. We just had our engagement shoot with him and he edited 200+ photos in 2 days. 2 DAYS! I have had photographers take 20 days for 20 photos. Insane. During the shoot, he was so funny, friendly, and kept us all at ease. He made my ugly mug look like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It was less than 10 degrees and in the middle of a blizzard during the shoot, yet he still burrowed in the snow like a photographic snow-lizard to get the best shot of us. He even brought along his beautiful ice-princess of a daughter to keep us laughing during the shoot. I am excited to see what he has in store for our wedding day. He has already wow-ed us like no other. This is one of my highest 5 star reviews in my history of Yelping. Seriously, hire this guy.

We are from out of town, but the Mammoth Lakes area means a lot to us, so we wanted to take our maternity pictures there over the holidays. After researching a few photographers, we ended up booking with Amy. From the beginning she was so easy to communicate with (even over the holidays) and made it stress-free! We talked about the look/feel of what we wanted, she suggested places and she even went to scout locations and lighting before so she could see what we liked and get the timing for lighting perfect! On the actual day of shooting, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process. She had different spots that the lighting was beautiful amongst nature and she was so easy to get along with! As for our photos, I couldn't imagine capturing the beautiful surroundings and my family any more perfect than Amy did! The lighting is incredible and it's clear that she really knows how to work with the environment around her. Thank you for the beautiful memories, Amy!
