The photos he took, are/were amazing and the eye he has for getting the right picture. Phenomenal! He was very professional from start to end and he also is able to express what he wants as in guiding us on what would look best for the area of our wedding and he also listened to what we wanted as well. I was a little worried since we never met in Person as I live in Orange County, but I was quickly reassured with all the emails and phone call of what I wanted. I would 100% recommend him for any photos that's are needed in the mammoth/ June lake area.

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.

Choosing Mandy as our elopement photographer was easily one of the best decisions we could have…read moremade! When we decided we wanted to elope, we really didn't know where to start and she helped us fully think through and plan the day, nail down our location, and create a timeline. We were planning the entire ceremony and honeymoon on the other side of the country, never having been to that area of California, and could not have pulled it off without her help figuring out the best location options for the time of year. On the wedding day, Mandy met us at our airbnb before sunrise for getting ready photos. She immediately made everything feel comfortable and fun and that continued through our entire day together. As two people not typically comfortable getting their picture taken, it meant so much to have her guide us through the day. The pictures came extremely fast and timely and were absolutely beautiful!! Her ability to capture the setting and landscape alongside personal moments was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and experience. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to elope!!

We have known the Cookes for about 10 years and have used them twice personally and been to other…read moreevents with them on two other occasions. I have been to a lot of weddings and they are, by far, the best photographers out there. Organized, efficient and know what they want to get the job done well. They shot both our wedding and a follow up family photo shoot almost seven years later. I drove up from Orange County to Mammoth just so Michael could shoot our family and the photos came out great. Diana sent 148 files within 3 days (I opted for the electronic files and keep them and print them myself) and I was very choosy and still have 48 favorites. There are too many to choose from! Long story short, they have never ceased to amaze me and I have 100% confidence in their abilities and will continue to use them for years to come!

The Cooke's did the photography for our wedding almost a month ago, and I can tell you that I…read moreabsolutely could not be happier! The day of was splendid; they worked with me beforehand to establish a thorough shot list, so the day of was so organized it was as smooth as can be imagined. They are very mindful of timing, so nothing is delayed and you still get all of the incredible shots you hoped for. As part of our package we got a book of proofs of all of the photos, and a cd of all of the files (the rights to all of the photos is a part of the package-- so you can get them printed wherever you want-- which from what I was researching is darn near impossible to find). These arrived so quickly I was shocked, not more than 2 weeks for them to get to me. I am simply blown away by the photos we received-- they are beyond anything I could have dreamed of. They captured our personalities and the feel of our wedding so impeccably. They say that if you have to pick one thing to splurge on for a wedding it should be photography, and the Cooke's are worth every penny. They are fantastic to work with, and their work is astonishing. I very highly recommend them.

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.

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!
