Husband and Wife Wedding Photo and Video Team!

About Us: 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. Our Travel Policy: The majority of our packages include all necessary travel costs. Please message us for details about our destination wedding packages.

My husband and I had such a wonderful time working with Angie. We eloped in Yosemite on our 10 year anniversary and the day couldn’t have gone smoother. Angie helped us decide on photo locations as we’d never been to the park before and her expertise was so helpful. She was so pleasant to work with and neither of us are big “photo” people but we never felt overwhelmed or uncomfortable during our session. I cannot thank Angie enough and I’m so grateful for the amazing photos we’ll enjoy for years and years to come

9/08/2024 • Francie B

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Angie is. She created the wedding video for my husband and I, and she went above and beyond our expectations! The video turned out beautifully, and we love how much she paid attention to all of the little details and moments throughout our special day. We will cherish this video forever and we are incredibly grateful for all of her hard work!

8/15/2024 • Tyler & Amanda S

My husband chose Mindful Media because he loved their editing style, he loved their work as a photographer himself. While he handled most of the communication, we both got to meet Shianne in person and our back and forth communication via email with Angie was incredible. They were both so welcoming, warm and amicable. Both of them worked with us and both were just simply amazing humans. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out amazing and we’re both absolutely enamored and thrilled with the memories we now have forever captured thanks to Shianne, Angie and Mindful Media. 💕

Any questions?

12/14/2023 • Cassidy B

I cannot recommend this couple enough. From the moment we booked with Mindful Media, Angie was so great and communicating, helping, and answering any questions I had. They were so professional and thorough on the day of our wedding, and got pictures of things I didn’t even realize. They beautifully captured our perfect day, and we couldn’t love the photos more!

Response from the Vendor on 12/18/2023

Oh you guys! Thank you so much for this review! It made my day! So glad you like everything! Happy Holidays!

8/26/2023 • Emily R

We just received all of our photos and I cannot say enough positive things about Angie and Mindful Media. Besides having our photos come out spectacular (literally my friends have commented how they look like stills from a movie), the day-of experience with Angie and her husband as our videographer was so enjoyable, they just have the best energies and personalities. We were conflicted about leaving the reception to do sunset pictures because we didn’t want to leave the party, but they made the sunset pictures so fun!!! It is actually one of my favorite memories from the day. I highly highly recommend booking them for you wedding event!

Response from the Vendor on 08/28/2023

Oh thank you sooo much Emily! You two were wonderful and such a joy to be around! Thanks so much for having us!

6/22/2023 • Brett H

Had a great experience with Angie for our engagement session! She was very easy and comfortable to work with. She matched our vibes and was able to capture some great moments of my fiance and I :) it was our first time doing a professional shoot and she made it way easier than I could've imagined. 10/10 recommend

Response from the Vendor on 06/22/2023

Thanks. so much for the reviews Brett! It was great getting to know you two and hope you stay in touch! :)

5/05/2023 • Erica D

We loved working with Mindful Media Photography for our elopement! They were so helpful and talented. Highly recommend.

10/27/2022 • Natalie W

Angie and Lee were amazing to work with! We also booked our engagement shoot with Angie and instantly fell in love with her style and attitude. During our wedding they perfectly captured our vibe while taking breath taking photos! I didn’t know we could look so good!

Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2022

Aww Natalie! Thanks so much for the review! We really appreciate it!! :)

8/28/2022 • Elizabeth A

Angie was flexible when we had to change our wedding date due to COVID-19 and was very professional in all our time working together! She gave us some beautiful photos catching our natural personas and some playful ones! She has a friendly and warm personality and was a joy to work with during our wedding day!

Response from the Vendor on 08/29/2022

Aww thanks so much for the review Elizabeth! You are amazing! :)

6/10/2022 • Rachel C

Angie is an awesome photographer! She makes the overall process of getting everything scheduled so easy and not stressful at all. I also got some pictures back recently and I love them all! I highly recommend her for any of your wedding photography needs!

5/19/2022 • Amy S

If you are looking for a wedding photographer and you have come across Mindful Media and Photography stop looking! Angie is absolutely wonderful. She is so sweet and very professional. She was very timely and captured everything I ever wanted and more from the important moments such as our first kiss as husband and wife down to the little details such as our dessert table, centerpieces, seating chart, flowers, our rings, ect. Every time my husband and I look at our wedding gallery we get to relive the best day of our lives. Her style is so authentic, she captured so many precious moments from beginning to end. Book your special day with Angie and you will not be disappointed!

4/27/2022 • Paulina E

Angie was such a great professional photographer to work with. The communication before and during my wedding was consisted. She made sure to know exactly which shots were a must for the day. She gave me the most candid and beautiful “sneak Peak” photos like 2 days after my wedding which had me in tears! She definitely delivered!

Response from the Vendor on 04/28/2022

Oh thank you so much Paulina! I really appreciate the review! You made my day! Can't wait to share the rest of the photos with you! :)Angie

2/21/2022 • Lindsey L

My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding! Angie is a truly gifted artist! We had multiple people come to us after the wedding with nothing but praise about her and her amazing ability to somehow be everywhere at once. I don't think a single moment wasn't captured. She kept in constant communication with us leading up to the event, so we never felt stressed or worried in that department of planning; she had us covered. On the day of the wedding, when I finally got to meet her in person, it felt like greeting an old friend! She has such a beautiful personality! Even after the wedding, she stayed in contact with updates and sneak peaks of photos. The final results were breathtaking! My favorite thing about her photography style is how natural and candid everything feels while still being edited to have fantastic lighting and colors. 10/10 would highly recommend her to capture your special day, she's incredible!

12/22/2021 • Ashley M

Angie and her husband are so talented and made us feel so special on our day! They continued to ask us how we wanted the day to go/what specific photos we wanted and were very good with helping us pose in the photos! My husband and I are very awkward but all of the photos and our video flowed so well and looked amazing! They even got drone footage for us that looked UNBELIEVABLE. We are seriously going to look back on these images years from now and are going to be able to reminisce every magical moment of our day! Which is great because it went by sooo fast. Thanks to the both of you for capturing it so wonderfully!!

Response from the Vendor on 01/03/2022

Hi Ashley! Thank you so much for the review, we love when we get these!!! We had an amazing time adventuring with you two and feel so honored to get to be a part of your day! What an adventure that was! Your elopement is definitely someth...

ing we will remember forever! Thanks again so much for having us!

When we decided to elope we knew we wanted to hike to a gorgeous spot to do it, but was concerned about finding a photographer willing/able to hike and document it. I did some internet searching and found Mindful Media Photography/Angie. She was more than willing to join us for our adventure elopement. Then the Dixie fire changed all our plans, the location of our wedding burned and the state closed all of the forests for our scheduled date. Angie worked with us to find a date that she was available before the likelihood of snow in the high country. When she showed up she felt like an old friend. She welcomed my six year old daughter to be right next to her taking photos with her kid camera like Angie while she photographed flowers/jewelrey/etc. We are not really people who love to be in front of the camera, but she made us feel comfortable and the photos show it in the relaxed look. The photos and the are stunning and the experience was wonderful! I can't speak highly enough of Angie. Angie was punctual, friendly (dog & kid friendly too), easy going, flexible and willing to hike five miles with us for our big day to take stunning photos.

10/05/2021 • Kenneth P

Angie is a phenomenal photographer! My husband and I had such a great time with her at our wedding! She is truly an artist! We were looking for an LGBTQ friendly photographer to capture our wedding when we found Angie. She truly fit in with us and our guests. She sent us emails leading up to our wedding reminding us to get sleep and to be calm. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your special day look no further Angie is the one for you. To our LGBTQ family Angie is a rockstar and truly supports us! Thank you so much Angie! Brandon & Ken Bouch

9/12/2021 • Aubree P

Angie’s personality & work is incredible and the shots she captured are more stunning than I could have ever imagined. We cannot thank her enough for giving us these beautiful photos to look back on for years to come. On top of that, my husband & I really appreciate her making us feel so at ease & comfortable during the first look photos. It was a joyful time and she made it such a blast for us. Cheers Angie! You ROCK! To anyone on the fence, I highly recommend, 10/10!

2/04/2021 • Amanda V

My fiancé and I are OVER THE MOON with our engagement session! Cant wait for the wedding photos!!

12/12/2020 • Anahi C

Angie was punctual, so friendly and made us all feel comfortable! She is also extremely professional. Im normally very uncomfortable when it comes to pictures but Angie radiates such amazing energy that you forget you’re being photographed . I highly recommend her! I’m so happy with my gallery, and so are my guest! I look forward to working with her in the future.

12/05/2020 • Jordan M

Angie did our engagement photos in Northern California where I am from and was nothing but amazing during the entire process. She was honestly the best vendor I have worked with so far and it just up for anything and was super flexible! She was also great to just be around! Taking romantic photos can be super awkward and she was so easy going and was so much fun! We had a great time when I thought it was going to a painful few hours!!! Just when we thought it couldn't get better we got our photos back and HOLY SH** they are amazing!!!!! If you don't hire her then you are crazy!

11/18/2020 • jamie h

I found Angie through a wedding website and quickly fell in love with her colors and style. Angie is a talented and free-spirited photographer, and made my fiance and I very comfortable during our engagement session. The engagement shoot was a great price and she got the pictures to us very quickly. I am excited to work with her for my upcoming wedding!

10/04/2020 • Kristi G

Angie/Mindful Media Photo was an extreme pleasure to be around and did such an amazing job at our intimate wedding. For my husband and I, who are a little camera shy, she really helped us feel comfortable and have fun. Not to mention, we got our edits back sooo fast. Wow! The magic of our special day was captured so well!! It’s been wonderful replaying our wedding day through Angie’s Mindful lense. Needless to say, we’d love to hire her again for more events.

9/02/2020 • Jessica R

Angie felt like part of the group and captured beautiful memories of our wedding day in Lake Tahoe. We had edited photos within one week. She made the process very smooth which we appreciated during the wedding chaos. Thank you Angie :-)

8/29/2020 • Heidy V

Angie was super sweet and helpful. She captured everything we were looking for without sacrificing our wedding enjoyment. Her pictures are great quality, very easy to access and were ready in less than 2 weeks. I totally recommend her.

8/10/2020 • Alda L

My husband and I had a Covid-19 wedding, so our grand wedding plans had to be drastically simplified. I was on the verge of not hiring a professional photographer and instead have a friend take photos. I’m so glad I didn’t. Angie was amazing. Not only did the photos turn out wonderful, but she put us at ease during the photoshoot (both my husband and I had been a little stressed with coordinating the ceremony logistics). We also had a lot of fun taking the photos. She had a lot of ideas for poses, but was also receptive to what we wanted. Overall, she just wanted us to act naturally, and be happy and calm in our photos, which I think really showed in the end result. I would highly recommend her for a small or large photo shoot.

If you want someone that is going to capture all the happy moments of the wedding Angie is your girl! She did both my engagement shoot and wedding day and both came out so good. The day of the wedding I was obviously very nervous but she made sure to make us comfortable and most importantly have fun. She captured so many beautiful candid photos, I was so happy with how they came out. She even sent a questionnaire a week or so in advanced to make sure she knew what important moments I would want her to capture, which I appreciated because I would of otherwise forgotten the day of. Overall my experience with Angie was amazing and I highly recommend her!

7/23/2020 • Cara B

We recently took our engagement photos with Angie and she was so great to work with! We were a bit nervous, she made us feel really comfortable and was so easy to work with. She was super quick and we received our photos within a week they turned out amazing! I highly recommend and we cannot wait for our wedding next year with her!

7/22/2020 • Jessica S

Angie did our engagement photos overlooking Lake Tahoe. She had a lot of great ideas for poses and backgrounds and she made the photoshoot super fun and engaging. Honestly I would do another photoshoot with her just for fun! The pictures came out beautiful! I love how she edits and the coloring of her photos. I'm already looking into having her take pictures on our wedding day. Thanks Angie!

7/15/2020 • Lisa R

Our experience with Angie was beyond amazing! Angie is a wonderful, very warm person and super easy to communicate with. She provided great suggestions for potential locations for our photo shooting and did amazing research on accessibility, light, tides, etc. Our time with Angie felt very natural, she provided great guidance, and we really had a blast. We received our pictures already a few days after our photo shooting and were absolutely blown away by how wonderful Angie captured the moment, the scenery, and the light. I HIGHLY recommend Angie and we hope we can book her for more photo shootings in the future.

7/10/2020 • Heather C

Angie was great to work with and our photos came out even better than I imagined! She was very helpful with which poses look best and gave us lots of ideas to make it fun. She also returned the edited photos to us very quickly! I will recommend her to anyone in the area!

Response from the Vendor on 07/10/2020

Thanks you so much Heather for having me and your kind words! It makes my day to hear good feedback! I really appreciate it and thanks again for having me! :)

6/15/2020 • Luke R

My fiancé and I did an engagement session with Angie, and after only one hour we were ready to choose her to photograph our wedding! She made the whole process a blast! The pictures turned out beautiful, and she got them back to very promptly! So glad we found her!

5/12/2020 • Victoria T

Angie did a wonderful job capturing our wedding!!! Very professional, very attentive to what we like and is important to us, she was in time and stay longer then the scheduled time . So many fun and great pictures to enjoy over generations 🙂 Very approachable and easy to work with🙂 Thank you so much!!!!!

4/21/2020 • Briana B

Angie was PHENOMENAL! She’s so patient and fun. She made my kids feel like superstars. It was not your typical sit down, take a photo, and see ya later kind of photo shoot. She really captured everyone’s personality and the love each of us in the family have for each other. The creativity and eye for light and the way it changes a photo showed in the final product. She edited our photos wonderfully, the turnaround time to receive the photos was very fast, and we are still raving about how much we loved having her as our photographer. I’ll never use anyone else again. She is absolutely a master at her craft, and passing up booking her would be a mistake. I highly recommend her for ANY of your photography needs. She goes the extra mile for her clients (literally), and I love her dedication.

3/21/2020 • Saiana P

she was amazing ❤️ she was kind, punctual, and just a blast to work with.

3/06/2020 • Taylor K

Angie made our wedding day spectacular! Not only was she kind, attentive, and flexible, but her creativity and passion for her work shines through in her photos. Her work is outstanding and stunning. We received our edited photos a week after our wedding and we couldn't wait to share! Angie made our day so memorable.

2/25/2020 • Katelyn

Angie was amazing! This was my first time hiring a photographer, so I was pretty nervous on how everything would turn out. Angie made everything feel natural! She had so many great suggestions and made it all so easy. I can not thank her enough for the great job she did for us. Every picture came out perfect and I was blown away by Angies work. We will have these beautiful memories to look back on and share because of her.

2/19/2020 • Kelley R

Absolutely loved working with Angie! She is such a talented and experienced photographer. We got our pictures promptly and were amazed by how beautiful they were! She is easy to communicate with and I highly recommend her!

2/18/2020 • Laura S

Angie at Mindful Media and Photography did an amazing job! My wedding pictures are gorgeous. She captured the best day of my life in a perfect way! Definitely recommend her for your wedding.

2/06/2020 • Shauna M

I highly recommend Mindful Media & Photography. Angie, our photographer, was outstanding. She got the most incredible shots and her final, edited versions were so amazing they gave us goose bumps. Plus, they were extremely fast getting our final photos back to us. We got married on January 18th and had all our final photos back by January 27th - that is unheard of speed! And the quality of the work was marvelous! Book Mindful Media & Photography - it will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding (and we all know that photos last an eternity!).
