Serving the Eastern Sierra and Yosemite
I’m Ryan Alonzo, a Mammoth Lakes–based wedding and elopement photographer serving Yosemite and the Eastern Sierra. As a Sierra local with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in documenting intimate weddings, adventure elopements, and outdoor celebrations in the mountains I call home.
