There's something magical about a summer wedding in the Eastern Sierra. With towering mountain peaks, endless blue skies, and alpine scenery around every corner, this celebration near Lee Vining, California was the perfect reminder of why I love photographing couples in this incredible part of the Sierra Nevada.

This wedding was photographed using a hybrid approach, blending both film and digital photography to capture every moment. While we love the flexibility of digital, there's something truly special about film—the way it renders light, color, and emotion feels timeless.
