I don’t think there is anything more picturesque and romantic than Lake Tahoe elopement. With unlimited nature to offer, it is the most intimate place for exchanging vows and taking beautiful wedding photos. I absolutely understand why elopements in Lake Tahoe are so popular these days!

Yes, Lake Tahoe Thanksgiving can be THIS snowy! We didn’t confirm the shoot time until noon that day because Lake Tahoe weather just didn’t want to cooperate.

You would never know that this French inspired wedding from A to Z was planned by the bride herself! Ashton is an amazing wedding planner and when she contacted me and asked me to be her and Michael’s Lake Tahoe wedding photographer, I could only say – yes please! With a little help from The Chateau at Incline Village wedding venue, a mesmerizing sunset and smiles all around throughout the day, this wedding was everything Ashton and Michael had hoped for and more!

I’ve always been inspired by my travels to Mediterranean countries, that holds a special place in my heart. Napa Valley is undeniable California’s Italy, Spain, Croatia…There is no better way to bring Mediterranean vibes to the photo session, than to use olive trees, a symbol of their culture, as a background. If only it would grow in Tahoe!

Cassie and Derek’s Lake Tahoe wedding was a beautiful, rustic style celebration infused with meaningful details and gorgeous backdrop of the lake. The couple invited their guests to join them for the ceremony and reception in Gatekeeper’s Museum, very cozy Lake Tahoe wedding venue located right on the west shore. The setting was defined by the neutral color palette and punctuated with plenty of wood elements that bride and groom loves so much!
