Tyler And Kacie Knew Early On That They Wanted To Capture Their Engagement Photos Somewhere That Held A Special Meaning To Them And Showcased Their Adventurous Spirits. Convict Lake, Which Is Nestled In The Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountain Range About 25 Minutes Southeast Of Mammoth Mountain, Quickly Became The Location That Tyler And Kacie Set Their Hearts On.destination Engagement Shoots Create A Unique Type Of Magic For Me As A Photographer. Not Only Does It Give Me The Opportunity To Experience Places That I Have Never Been Before, But It Adds Another Layer Of Sentimentality To The Shoot. Tyler Grew Up Vacationing With His Family At Convict Lake And His Excitement To Return There To Commemorate His Engagement To Kacie Was Apparent And Inspiring. when We Arrived At The Lake, It Was Immediately Clear Why Tyler’s Family Chose To Spend Their Summers There. Convict Lake Is A Glacial Lake Known For Its Turquoise-blue Water As Well As The Dramatic Mountains That Surround It. We Started The Session By Setting Out On A 3-mile Hiking Trail That Goes Around The Lake; With Tyler And Kacie’s Pup Lambo, An Adorable And Energetic Shepherd-lab Mix, In Tow. on The Far Side Of The Lake, The Majesty Of The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range’s Ecosystem Took Hold Of Me. A Grove Of Aspen Trees Edged The Lake And All The Flora And Fauna Created A Magical Feel To This Slightly Secluded Stretch Of Shoreline. The Glass-clear Water Fed From The Surrounding Peak’s Melting Snowpack Looked Cool And Refreshing. The Weather Was A Perfect 75 Degrees And There Was A Freshening Breeze From A Light Summer Storm Rolling In. having Such A Perfect Backdrop And Beautiful Couple Such As Tyler And Kacie Can Make My Job Easy. I Was Glad To Have The Setting In Subjects Down Pat Because Shooting During The Covid-19 Pandemic Created Unique Challenges. I Wore A Face Mask For The Entirety Of The Shoot With Tyler And Kacie. It’s A Funny Thing To Tell Someone To Smile Or Laugh When They Can’t See You Doing It Yourself; You Really Have To Cue With Your Body Language And Vocal Expressions Instead. This New Way Of Working Has Made Me A Much More Animated Photographer, Which Of Course, Had All Of Us Laughing. after Shooting On The Far Side Of The Lake We Hopped Back On The Trail And Returned To The Marina. Tyler And Kacie Share A Love For Beer—sierra Nevada Beer To Be Exact—and Decided To End The Shoot With A Celebratory Toast To A Successful Session And Cheers To Their Future Together.convict Lake Is Truly A Gem Among The Numerous Lakes In The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. It Was Well Worth The Trek To Capture Tyler And Kacie’s Engagement Photos At Such A Breathtaking And Sentimental Location. I Fully Intend To Return To Convict Lake Myself To Soak Up More Of Its Beauty And Camp Along Its Shores.see Some Of My Favorite Images From Their Adventure Session By Clicking View Gallery Below!

We've Highlighted The Key Considerations When Picking Out His Wedding Band Below:who Buys The Ring?it’s A Collaborative Process. Often, The Bride Buys The Groom's Wedding Band To Reciprocate After Receiving An Engagement Ring.

Men’s Wedding Bands Are No Longer ‘one Style Fits All. Yellow Gold Will Always Be The Iconic, Heritage Look, Whereas White Gold Has Really Caught On Recently. Platinum Is The Top-of-the-line Option, And Tungsten Is A Newer Offering That Is Often More Affordable.average Costdepending On The Type Of Metal You Choose, The Price Of A Men's Wedding Band Can Vary.

It’s Never Too Early To Start Shopping, But In Reality, Three To Six Months Before The Big Day Allows For Plenty Of Time To Learn His Preferences. In Order To Make Sure The Men's Wedding Band Is Ready For The Big Day, Try To Purchase His Wedding Band Two Months Before The Wedding In Case It Needs To Be Resized. its Worth Investing In A Band That’s Designed With A “comfort Fit.” These Bands Tend To Be A Little Pricier Since They Require More Material, But They’re Easier To Slip Over The Knuckle And Don’t Pinch The Skin.

Didn’t Think It Would Be Possible To Include Your Best Pup In Your Big Day? Well, We Are Here To Tell You That You Can!     you’ve Picked The Perfect Wedding Venue. Your Dream Dress. Flowers. Cake. And A Wedding Planner To Organize Everything For You. But Something Is Missing… That Big Ball Of Fluff You Love And Care For Every Day Isn’t With You At Your Wedding! That’s Not Right, They’re A Part Of The Family, And They Should Be A Part Of Your Celebrations. However, On Your Big Day, You’d Prefer Not To Have One Eye On Fido, Worrying He’ll Have An Accident On The Dance Floor. And At Some Points During The Big Day, Dogs Just Can’t Be Around, And You’ll Need Someone Responsible To Watch Over Them For You. That’s Why Your Best Pup Needs Wedding Day Pet Care, An All-round Service That Encompasses So Much More Than A Simple Dog Sitter.

This Session Right Here Was So Much Fun. Originally We Were Nervous About The Weather Report, The Rain Was Coming In But There Was A Break In The Storm So Chrysten And Philip Wanted To Go For It! And Oh I’m So Glad They Did. Their Black Outfits On Black Clouds And Black Smoke Bombs Made For So Much Moody Drama! I Still Have Chills.tips On Smoke Bombs:- You Want Zero Wind. We Had A Light Breeze (maybe More Than A Breeze, Hence The Storm Clouds) So You Might Be Able To See The Smoke Moved Away Quicker Than We Would Have Liked. But Hey – It’s Mother Nature. Still, We Achieved The Effect We Wanted And The Intense Clouds Made Up For It.- They Get Hot. But Not Too Hot To Hold, Just Keep Your Hand Close To The Base Once You Crack It Open From The Top.- Clothes Can Stain. They Avoided Any Issues Wearing Black On Black, But It’s Good To Keep In Mind If You’re Thinking Of Wearing White Or Lighter Colors.- They Go Quickly. You Have About 60-90 Seconds With The Smoke Bomb So Make Sure You Have Some Good Moving Poses And Roll With It.- Get A Permit Or Let Your Park Ranger Know. These Babies Attract A Lot Of Attention, No Matter What Color They Are. People Will Watch, Be Curious Or Nervous – So Be Prepared And Courteous.- Have 3-4. You Don’t Have To Use Them All But At Least You Have A Backup If You Need A Do-over.- Shutter Speed. Keep Her High! Your Speed Needs To Be Anywhere From 1/800 – 1/2500 To Catch All The Swirling Goodness.- Use The Bombs At The End Of The Shoot. This Is For A Few Reasons. One You Will Feel Most Confident And In The Groove By The End Of The Session. Two, If It Gets On Your Clothes, It No Biggie Because You Already Got Tons Of Gorgeous Photos By Having The Bombs Last In Your Session!okay, Ready To See My Faves From This Fun Session?
