Wedding photography rooted in the Inland Empire
Wedding photography rooted in the Inland Empire I'm Mitch, the photographer behind Woodland Mist. I've been based in Riverside for over a decade, and most of the weddings I shoot happen right here in the Inland Empire.
From Temecula vineyards to historic venues in downtown Riverside to backyard ceremonies in Redlands and Corona, I know this region. I know how the light moves across the valley in late afternoon, which venues photograph best at sunset, and how to plan a timeline around July heat or February wind.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who actually lives where you're getting married, you're in the right place.

What Couples Are Saying

“Mitch is not only a talented artist, but a breeze to work with. He even served as our witness for the elopement he captured. He had a sneak peek gallery ready just 8 days after our session — in time for our reception party. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
“I loved working with Mitch! My husband and I don’t have much experience being in front of a camera, but Mitch made us feel comfortable and helped us pose and picked the best spots for photos. Our photos came out amazing! He really has a creative eye and I appreciate his attention to detail. Thanks Mitch!”
“My husband and I are both awkward when it comes to photos and Mitch makes our photos look effortless. He was super professional and really chill to work with. If I could put 1000 stars I would.”

Why a local photographer matters
WHY LOCAL
Most of my couples could hire a Los Angeles or Orange County photographer. Here's what made the difference:
No travel fees within the IE
LA-based photographers commonly add $200 to $500.
Familiar with regional venues
I know the best portrait spots and lighting at each one.
Easier scheduling
Engagement sessions and meetings happen close to home.
Local availability
If something changes, I'm fifteen minutes away, not ninety.
