Convict Lake California Wedding Photography: Xenia & Travis

I had the honor of photographing my cousin Travis' wedding at Convict Lake, California in April.  Together with his stunning new bride, Xenia, they created a breathtaking celebration with a blend of vintage family antiques and Spanish country accents. During the lakeside ceremony they planted a pine tree to symbolize their last name:  Pyne. And, with a nod to Xenia's heritage, the vows were exchanged in English and Spanish. The lake offers a gorgeous location for weddings and their timing was spot-on, with high back lighting, which gave an ethereal feel to the wedding images and portraits. I recruited my task-master sister-in-law, Heidi, to assist with the portraits; her Welsh wit and accent was entertaining as ever and her ability to organize and beautify was quite helpful. The reception was held beside the Convict Lake Resort in a spacious tent.  With a longstanding reputation for being a filler flower, Xenia is personally responsible for breathing class into baby's breath!  It was used throughout the table decorations, and was used as the only flower in the bridesmaids' bouquets which looked so romantic and airy. It was a truly fabulous day!  Cheers & congrats!! P.S. Click on the images to view them larger.
