A Love-Filled Mammoth Lakes Elopement

Callie and Richard’s wedding day was a perfect blend of adventure, heartfelt moments, and unforgettable celebration. As their chosen Mammoth Lakes elopement photographers and videographers, we had the honor of capturing every detail, from emotional first looks to epic mountain views and a lively reception that ended with bowling. Their elopement showcased everything that makes Mammoth such a dream destination for couples seeking both natural beauty and a meaningful, personal wedding experience.

A Scenic Beginning at Earthquake Fault

Callie and Richard’s Mammoth Lakes elopement began at the dramatic Earthquake Fault, where towering rock walls and pine trees created a stunning backdrop. Before the bride arrived, Richard shared a sweet first look with their two daughters; an emotional moment filled with giggles, hugs, and a few happy tears. It was such a meaningful way to honor his role as both a father and a groom on this special day. Shortly after, Callie made her entrance for the couple’s first look. Seeing each other for the first time in such a unique setting was unforgettable, and it set the tone for the rest of the day. Earthquake Fault also provided the perfect location for family portraits, giving them timeless images surrounded by Mammoth’s natural beauty.

Owens River Ceremony Captured by Mammoth Lakes Elopement Photographers and Videographers

From there, we traveled to Owens River, a serene setting surrounded by wide-open mountain views. Their ceremony held extra significance. Callie’s walk down the aisle was accompanied by a song sung by their daughter, a moment that had everyone in tears. Guests were welcomed with personalized shot glasses and craft beer, a fun twist that made everyone feel part of the celebration. And instead of flower girls, they had a “beer girl” who passed out drinks with laughter and cheer; a detail that guests are still talking about!

Romantic Hike and Lookout Views

After the ceremony, we took Callie and Richard on a short hike to a scenic lookout for their romantics. With sweeping views of Mammoth’s rugged peaks and golden light filling the valley, their portraits were filled with movement, joy, and intimacy. These moments captured the adventurous spirit that made their Mammoth Lakes elopement so unique.

Dinner, Music, and Heartfelt Letters at The Brasserie

The celebration continued at The Brasserie, where cocktail hour and dinner were paired with live music. Instead of just toasts, Callie and Richard surprised their guests with handwritten letters. Each guest received a personalized note expressing gratitude and sharing how much they meant to the couple. This intimate gesture created a powerful emotional connection that set the tone for the evening.

Bowling and Dancing at Mammoth Rock and Bowl

The night ended on a high note with dancing and bowling at Mammoth Rock and Bowl. Guests laughed, danced, and bowled late into the night, closing the day with the perfect mix of elegance and fun. It was a celebration that reflected Callie and Richard perfectly; romantic, adventurous, and deeply meaningful.
