Bria & Jason: A PlumpJack Resort Wedding at Squaw Valley

Inflatable air guitars. Viking helmets. Hot dog hats. When it comes to partying like rockstars, many of us would do well to follow the example set by Bria, Jason and their wedding guests. This PlumpJack Resort wedding at Squaw Valley had to be one of the most fun celebrations of the summer. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would.

Bria and Jason currently live in San Francisco, but find themselves adventuring in the Sierras often enough that a Lake Tahoe wedding made perfect sense. To honor both of their families’ traditions, a multi-faith ceremony also made sense. Reverend Keith Hohly and Rabbi Mikki Bourne teamed up and created a wonderful ceremony that featured rites from two different traditions, celebrating the shared spiritual aspects of both.

A celebration like this doesn’t happen on its own. Many thanks to Tory Wilson at Summit Soiree for her planning and coordination talent. Lake Tahoe florist Julie Matises raised the bar yet again with her bouquets, boutonnieres and floral arrangements. As for the reception, it wouldn’t have been the party animal it was without the band Jumpstart. These folks were some of the best I’ve wiggled my booty to seen. And last but not least, thanks to Anne Williams for shooting with me.

Bria and Jason, your wedding was simply awesome. Thank you for your warmth, your laid back attitude and your requirement that “FUN” always be at the top of the to-do list!
