Melissa and Greg | Beetle Rock Wedding | Sequoia National Park

Melissa and Greg’s wedding will definitely be a highlight of my year when I look back to all the new places I was able to shoot. This marks my first wedding in Sequoia National Park and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to experience it with. We were met with a stunningly beautiful day, and even though it was a special day in the park, crowds were light and we were nearly alone with the 20 or so guests in attendance. After a beautiful afternoon with their ceremony on Beetle Rock overlooking the Sierra foothills and Central Valley in the distance, we headed down to Three Rivers for their reception at an amazing jewel of a home set alongside the Kings River. It was a small, intimate, family-style dinner followed by an evening of great conversation and a little dancing. I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite images as much as I enjoyed creating them. I must also give a special thanks to my friend James Collier who happened to be in town at the time and came along to help me out. The images of Greg getting ready and a couple during the ceremony are his great handiwork.
