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!!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Brandon was our photographer in Mammoth during their first snow of the…read moreseason. 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.

Jaymie was truly a joy to work with. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also so…read morethoughtful, kind, and fun! Jaymie helped me plan the location and time of day to propose to my girlfriend for the best shots and light, and made it all such a seamless process. As someone tends to be awkward on camera, she made it feel natural and fun, and got the most beautiful shots of our engagement. It was also lovely to learn more about her work and her connection with nature throughout our time together. If you're on the fence about who to hire, definitely definitely pick Jaymie!

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.

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!

Hands down the BEST photographer and team in the Mammoth Lakes/ Yosemite area. Peter and his team…read moremade our wedding EPIC to say the least. The memories he captured are incredible and displayed all over our home. Not only were they the best photographers but they were also the life of the party while making sure everything ran/flowed smoothly so that we captured the best photos at the right time with the right light and with the right people (family/bridal party). Peter and his team were VERY PROFESSIONAL but made you feel like life long friends rather than clients. From the initial contact to the day we received the photos we were very impressed with his communication and transparency. He was always on top of everything! Peter was raised in Mammoth and knows the area to a T. Months before the wedding Peter took the time to sit down with us to review the photography locations and schedule for the day. He utilized his experience with capturing the mountain/wedding schedules to create a perfect plan. He even scouted the locations a day before our wedding to make sure everything was good to go. We choose: -Boudoir - BRIDES DO THIS! This was a surprise for my husband but the photos are more for me because they make me feel so beautiful when I look at them. Peter made me feel so comfortable and really captured beauty. -photos of bride and groom getting ready. -First look (with dad and then hubby). -Bridal party photos -Portrait photos of bride and groom -Ceremony photos -Reception photos -night photos with the smoke (so cool) Based on my love for Peters work and art I can hands down say this will not be the last time I work with him. I plan on using him for family photos when the time comes. Thank you Peter and team for being the best photographers and friends.
