Plan your dream wedding—elope in Mammoth Lakes.
Ange-Elise reached out to me about her Mammoth Lakes Elopement with this line “Mert and I met in college four years ago and have decided to sign papers next weekend… are you available?” I checked my calendar and texted them back immediately that I was free and we need to start planning now! These two knew exactly what they wanted and together to made their vision a reality.
We started their Mammoth Lakes Elopement with a couples session hiking along the Owens River. This bend in the river is such a stunning location to capture the mountains in the background. Here you can see Mt. Morrison. The two ate their lunched along the river reminiscing on how the met and the adventures their love has taken them on.
We then drove to a secret hot spring for the two of them to say their vows. I stood in as officiant and led them through a ceremony that fit their unique story—when I officiate a Mammoth Lakes Elopement, I don’t do the traditional wedding script. I work to find the right words that honor each couples unique story and values. These two wrote their vows morning of and exchanged them with tear filled eyes.
It was a beautiful elopement full of moments witnessed by just the three of us.

This is making me jealous! I always wanted to elope out here, but ended up doing it closer to home sadly. These two are super lucky 😍
Looks like such an amazing location and to wrap things up with chocolate cake in the hot tub is a dream! Thanks for sharing!
What a sweet elopement in a gorgeous location (the eastern sierras are unparalleled in my opinion)! I love that they had some hot spring time afterward with some cake…so cute!
omg how fun! I love that they got in the hot springs! It looks like they had a super unique day! Beautiful!
Oh my gosh! the hot spring and the cake – the black and white especially – made my heart stop.
What an amazing was to get married. You can tell from all the images how comfortable and relaxed your couple were. Having that level of trust creates images as genuine and heartfelt as this. Great job.
Love how personalized and intimate their Mammoth elopement is. Such a beautiful way to say I do!
