Sierra rainstorms have a a way of washing the mountain landscape clean, making way for clear vistas, alpine adventures and new beginnings. Not sure if the weather gods would cooperate with their wedding plans, Rachel and Jim bided their time until the moment was right. As prayer flags fluttered in the post-monsoon breeze, friends and family gathered under clearing skies in support of one of the Eastside’s most joyous celebrations of the summer.
Many Californians know this part of the Sierra range for Mammoth Mountain, a popular getaway for skiing and fly fishing. Just south of the Mammoth Lakes area, the Convict Lake Resort offers a secluded escape that most folks unknowingly pass by as they head north on route 395. If you take the time to head into these hills, you’re quickly rewarded with an alpine setting that feels a world away.
Rachel and Jim, you clearly share a very rare connection that is respected and admired by those who know you best. Thank you for the honor of photographing your wedding!
