Favorite Moment
When Isabel and Chris went fly fishing in their wedding clothes!
Like so many couples in 2020, Isabel and Chris were served lemons, and made lemonade. When their big wedding was cancelled, they had to pivot. They dreamed up what their perfect morning looked like, and did exactly that for their wedding day.
They chose to get married in Bishop, which is located in the Eastern Sierras. The Eastern Sierras is a hidden gem, with so many gorgeous, secluded locations. It’s a high desert, with 14 thousand foot peaks surrounding the valley. There’s something extremely special about it, it’s hard to describe unless you’ve been there.
After watching the sunrise on the snow capped peaks, we drove to Bishop creek, where Isabel and Chris said their vows next to the river. They popped some champagne, and got geared up to go fly fishing. Eventually, Isabel fully got in the river in her wedding dress! They were so obviously in their element, and fully living in the moment, it’s what I love most about elopements. Afterwards, they made breakfast in the back of their Subaru. The morning was unbelievably romantic, intimate, and perfectly them. I have to pinch myself sometimes that this is my job. I’m so grateful for couples like these two who trust me to capture such a special day for them! Congrats Isabel and Chris!
