About
Mindful Media Photography is a nationally recognized, award-winning elopement & wedding photography team based in Grass Valley, California. We’re Lee & Angie, a husband and wife team that believes that love is love and that your wedding day is a celebration of your unique love story, whatever that looks like to you. We offer wedding photography + videography for weddings of all shapes and sizes. We focus on the moments that matter most and authentic connections. If you want to take a walk on the wild side and get away from it all with an adventure elopement, we’ll help you plan an incredible experience. Remember the happiest day of your life for the rest of your life through documentary-style wedding photography, videography or all-inclusive elopement packages in Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Big Sur, the Redwoods or other incredible locations throughout Northern California.
Our Approach/Working With Us
Our photography and videography experience is modern, sleek, adventurous &, above all else, fun. We are adventurers that thrive on the trails, surrounded by fun-loving happy couples like us. We want to show you our favorite hiking spots (or explore a new one with you) while celebrating your love story with as little stress as possible. If you’re eloping in California, let us take care of the planning, permit and elopement location scouting. We’d love to plan your perfect low-key private reception, complete with live music and a champagne toast. Not only will you have a day you’ll never forget, but our all-inclusive elopement packages include stunning, true-to-life documentary-style photos and videos that help you relive your adventure, again and again, for a lifetime.
Why We Love Weddings
We are adventurers to our core and feel most alive when we’re out exploring beautiful destinations. For 10 years, we traveled the country in an RV on an impromptu music tour. We played music every night, taking our family of four throughout 48 states and internationally in Europe, Canada and Costa Rica. Along the way, we explored every inch of the US and almost every National Park we could get into, taking our cameras along to share our story with our friends worldwide. Somewhere between the crowded venues and the trails, we fell in love with capturing meaningful moments. For us, it isn’t about simply creating something beautiful; it’s about telling your story. Creating memorable adventures for couples while mixing in the bliss of a beautiful wedding day is a dream come true. These are the photos that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

The majority of our packages include all necessary travel costs. Please message us for details about our destination wedding packages.
Testimonials
“There are no words to describe just how incredible of an experience we had with Mindful Media. Angela’s kindness and helpfulness made our wedding day so much smoother and less stressful. She was so incredibly accommodating, doing photos and poses more our style that were not at all adventurous for an adventure photographer. Every photo is so special and the editing is absolute perfection (I had 5 coworkers cry when they went through them). If I could give them infinite stars I would. I could never thank Angela enough for everything she did on our day. I recommend everything about her and the business.”
“Angie was truly incredible and the photos she took were better than we could’ve imagined. Her laid back and positive nature helped us feel comfortable and confident throughout the day, and she managed to take great photos despite my track record of closing my eyes. She was patient and flexible and was down with all the ridiculous and last minute requests we threw at her. The quality of the photos and editing was perfect and she captured every personality in the candids better than I could’ve hoped. The album we purchased afterward is incredible quality and she was prompt with sending over sneak peeks despite it being the height of wedding season. I couldn’t recommend Angie and mindful media enough. Thank you for giving us beautiful, lasting memories our special day!”
“Wow Angie and Lee, where do I even start with this dynamic duo?? I seriously cannot rave enough about them in every way! They made our special day 1,000 times better than we ever could have dreamed of, and we can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond what we expected when booking…
From the start, Angie was beyond helpful in providing a plethora of recommendations, elopement advice, activity ideas- you name it! She had everything laid out as an option before my wedding-planning brain could even start to think of it..and we were absolutely blown away with how the day turned out! We had the best time and really did feel like we were hanging out with a couple of friends :) everything was so easy and comfortable!
Seriously, look no further if you’re wanting the most memorable wedding day experience (their work alone could clearly speak for itself- my jaw is still on the floor from how our photos turned out) but you really get so much more when you have Angie and Lee make it happen! They are the absolute BEST :)”
