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.

The sneak peeks were supposed to take about a week, but she sent them literally the next day--and they turned out AMAZING! Kayla is incredibly friendly and so easy to talk to. We usually don't take many photos together and were a little worried things might feel awkward, but she guided us the whole way and made us feel completely comfortable. Because of her, the entire shoot felt natural and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Highly recommend! Would definitely book again for any future shoots!

She really put us at ease, and made the whole process so easy. On our elopement day Kayla and her assistant were right on time and were super professional and pleasant to be around. We immediately felt comfortable sharing our day with her, and were glad that we chose to have her ordain our ceremony. After our ceremony we did a short hike to get some sunset photos, and she kept us on time and moving while still capturing lovely shots. She was our "brain" for the entire day which allowed us to be present with each other instead of worrying about the timeline, our families, the light, etc. It was truly a perfect day, and we were so happy that we chose Kayla to document and manage it all.

When we decided we wanted to elope, we really didn't know where to start and she helped us fully think through and plan the day, nail down our location, and create a timeline. We were planning the entire ceremony and honeymoon on the other side of the country, never having been to that area of California, and could not have pulled it off without her help figuring out the best location options for the time of year. On the wedding day, Mandy met us at our airbnb before sunrise for getting ready photos. She immediately made everything feel comfortable and fun and that continued through our entire day together. As two people not typically comfortable getting their picture taken, it meant so much to have her guide us through the day. The pictures came extremely fast and timely and were absolutely beautiful!! Her ability to capture the setting and landscape alongside personal moments was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and experience. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to elope!!

When we shared our Eastern Sierra elopement photos with friends and family, the first reaction is…read morealways a heartfelt congratulations (as expected). The second reaction, though, has consistently been "who did your photography?? This is INCREDIBLE!" and we have to whole heartedly agree!! Mandy made our intimate elopement ceremony absolutely incredible with her ability to be complimentary to the day, rather than ever feeling out of place or intrusive. She was incredibly easy to work with, from helping us make some key decisions on location and timing at the beginning of the process to even scouting out ceremony locations on the day of so we weren't having to take the time ourselves to find *that perfect spot*. She captured our day - from getting ready, to aperitivo hour, first look, ceremony, and photographs after with such finesse and talent that we keep looking back at the photos near daily, just to relive how magical it all was. She even captured our pups beautifully! We can't recommend Mandy enough and would absolutely hire her again if an opportunity comes along!!

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!

We are from out of town, but the Mammoth Lakes area means a lot to us, so we wanted to take our maternity pictures there over the holidays. After researching a few photographers, we ended up booking with Amy. From the beginning she was so easy to communicate with (even over the holidays) and made it stress-free! We talked about the look/feel of what we wanted, she suggested places and she even went to scout locations and lighting before so she could see what we liked and get the timing for lighting perfect! On the actual day of shooting, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process. She had different spots that the lighting was beautiful amongst nature and she was so easy to get along with! As for our photos, I couldn't imagine capturing the beautiful surroundings and my family any more perfect than Amy did! The lighting is incredible and it's clear that she really knows how to work with the environment around her. Thank you for the beautiful memories, Amy!

If the universe has brought you to Bruce Willey, and you are in need of beautiful photographs, then…read moreyou are a lucky person. Because not only will you leave with the highest quality, most beautiful photographs you can imagine, but you will also leave with a new friend. For whatever reason, hiring a photographer is usually delegated to the groom. Such was the case for my wedding and I was determined to not mess it up. Since we are getting married at Convict Lake, I wanted a photographer to capture the natural beauty of a place. Minaret does so, but they were expensive and booked for the weekend of our wedding. Several hours of navigating the murky waters of the internet later, and I was brought to Bruce's page. His photographs were just what we wanted and he seemed like a pretty cool guy so I emailed him asking for his availability. A couple hours later, he confirmed that he was available. We talked about our backgrounds, added each other on social media and became well acquainted. But then Bruce did something that truly warmed my heart. He realized that since I am fresh out of grad school, I am in mucho debt. He saw that while we still wanted to have a beautiful wedding, we also have to cut corners because of our budget.He saw all this and offered a discount up-front. No negotiation. No hassle. Just pure good-ness. It was a breath of fresh air in our increasingly capitalistic society and revitalized our wedding planning. From then on it was just one great thing after another. Free engagement shoot. Included Photobooth. Funny emails. Dogtogropher. etc. We just had our engagement shoot with him and he edited 200+ photos in 2 days. 2 DAYS! I have had photographers take 20 days for 20 photos. Insane. During the shoot, he was so funny, friendly, and kept us all at ease. He made my ugly mug look like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It was less than 10 degrees and in the middle of a blizzard during the shoot, yet he still burrowed in the snow like a photographic snow-lizard to get the best shot of us. He even brought along his beautiful ice-princess of a daughter to keep us laughing during the shoot. I am excited to see what he has in store for our wedding day. He has already wow-ed us like no other. This is one of my highest 5 star reviews in my history of Yelping. Seriously, hire this guy.
