Mammoth Lakes elopement in the snow. Mammoth Lakes is one of the best places to elope in California if you love mountains and want to experience an adventurous elopement outdoors. If you love snow too, you can elope in Mammoth Lakes in the winter!

Mammoth Lakes is one of my favorite elopement locations in California so it was such a dream to photograph Haley and Jazz in this stunning location! Just after a storm, there was fresh snow all around us but we got to enjoy a beautiful sunny day along with it. Truly a stunning setting for this adventure elopement in Mammoth Lakes.

We started with a fun first look in a snow covered meadow outside of Mammoth Lakes. Haley had a snow jacket as a backup but since we got lucky with the sun, she wanted to show off her gorgeous wedding gown of course!

After the ceremony we drove over to another stunning location in Mammoth Lakes – the hot creek! Every time I am here I am just in awe and it was so special to see Haley and Jazz experience this incredible location for the first time.
