With all this being said, do not worry! We’ve compiled a list of our trusted local photography vendors who will no doubt take care of you on your special day!
Brittany Sierra Photography
Brittany DeWitt is an elopement and wedding photographer based in Gardnerville and Lake Tahoe but also travels worldwide. She started her photography business two years ago & when she’s not photographing, she’s hiking, fishing, and creating art.
An important wedding day aspect for Brittany is to connect with her couple on a personal and deeper level. Getting to know the couple lets her authentically capture the day, as she knows their likes and dislikes and how they interact with one another. It also allows the couple to make sure they like their photographer and are comfortable with them throughout their entire day.
What makes her stand out among others?
“Being inclusive to all love is my expertise. I believe love is love. I vow to always create a safe space for all skin tones, genders, orientations, shapes, sizes, abilities, beliefs, and cultures.”

GOT Photography
Rachel started her photography business GOT Photography 8 years ago. Born and raised in Nevada, she is always amazed at the wide range of beauty that surrounds us in Northern Nevada and feels blessed to be able to capture it. When not photographing, she’s rescuing animals and spending time outdoors with her husband and three children!
Rachel typically photographs 50+ weddings/elopements a year, so she’s experienced practically every type of venue, lighting, and obstacle possible when it comes to weddings! She can navigate them all to produce beautiful images that will last a lifetime.
Her biggest advice is to ensure you view a photographer’s full wedding gallery and not just look at their highlights. See how they photograph indoors and outdoors or in low light and the harsh sun to ensure all your big day photos turn out beautiful and how you want them.
“I want to be a source of comfort and peace for my couple. My goal is to take away some of the stress that comes with hosting a wedding. I help my couples with everything from building their timelines, choosing the best location for engagement photos, finding fun activities for them to do if they are visiting from out of town, handling posing, and so much more.”
