At the end of June we shot the wedding of Juan and Lisa on the gorgeous Mammoth Mountain! Neither of us had been there before and it is absolutely breathtaking. The town is so cute and we enjoyed crepes and lattes and a scenic tour of Mammoth. Zach even got me to do a small hike (if you can even call it that) of .04 miles to see Devil’s Postpile- a cool rock formation. (Hey, .04 miles EACH way, we’re talking almost a full mile here people. Haha!) I was terrified of running into a bear the entire time and will probably never hike again. I am not a thrill/adventure seeker and would hyperventilate if I thought about running into a bear. Zach is the exact opposite. He loves hiking and adventure and thinks I’m crazy and unrealistic. But hey, why would the rangers give you the pamphlet “Be Bear Aware” if it wasn’t a legitimate threat?!? Juan and Lisa’s wedding was so much fun and their reception site was literally at the bottom of a ski slope. They actually had a brilliant idea that I wanted to share with all of our future wedding clients- they rented a party bus to drive them and their wedding party around Mammoth to lots of different locations. It was so easy and not to mention a lot of fun. The bus drove everyone (including us) from location to location easily and made it so convenient to grab a ton of different shots in a relatively short amount of time. Seriously BRILLIANT. The bride and groom and wedding party had a BLAST. We mentioned this idea to our upcoming San Francisco wedding and they are renting a stretch limo to take the entire wedding party around San Francisco! We are SO stoked! So, if you’re getting married in an area like San Francisco or Mammoth where there are tons of great locations to hit, consider renting a party bus or limo to take everyone around, give yourself plenty of time for photos and enjoy! We’re planning on visiting Mammoth Mountain on our own time soon! Congrats to Juan and Lisa!
