My favorite SHOOTS and top tips for your Tahoe wedding.
Backyard Bay Area Wedding: Megan + Ben
For more than a few reasons, I resonated with Megan and Ben right from the beginning. Namely, Ben grew up in Woodside. As did I. Although based in the San Francisco Bay Area, they had plans to move to the mountains at the first opportunity (spoiler alert, they now live down the road from us)….
Outdoor Tahoe Hyatt Wedding: Jessica + Nick
I always love coming back to this beach. Especially during the fall, when the crowds are gone and the afternoon light casts an orange haze as it passes through the trees. Jessica and Nick’s outdoor Tahoe Hyatt wedding wove all my favorite Fall-Time things together. There were hugs, there was music. Yes, there were even…
East Lake Tahoe Engagement Photos: Stephanie + Michael
For their East Lake Tahoe engagement photos, I met Stephanie and Michael at one of my favorite spots. I often recommend this location because the beautiful afternoon light is consistent and worth the short hike. And it only gets better as the sun sets. This trail makes a fun hike down to the water, with…
Olympic Valley Fall Wedding: Steph + Mike
Fall in Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite times of the year. Needless to say, the days are shorter and the nights are colder. But gone are summer crowds and busy roads. And with a moderate dose of good timing, you can watch the aspen trees turn shades of yellow and orange in a…
Gar Woods Micro Wedding: Lauren + John
When the world turned on its head this past year, many engaged couples had to regroup. They needed to re-prioritize, re-imagine, and re-plan their big day. Lauren and John experienced this as well. Before everything shut down, they had “big” wedding plans. In the end, their Gar Woods micro wedding was a perfectly adventurous day…
High Camp Squaw Valley Wedding: Basia + Matt
These photos from Basia and Matt’s High Camp Squaw Valley wedding are a throwback to an amazing celebration. Not to mention, a reminder and preview of the parties we hope to be enjoying again soon. This event is also a good example for anyone wanting a Catholic wedding in Lake Tahoe. Although there aren’t many…
Lake Tahoe Engagement Proposal: Lauren + Christian
Christian’s Lake Tahoe engagement proposal to his girlfriend, Lauren, was a beautiful way to kick off the weekend. Before committing to an exact time or location, Christian contacted me to find out about documenting the event. I listened to his plan thus far (a morning hike to somewhere with an amazing lookout), and I offered…
Donner Summit Engagement Photos: Jackie + Duke
When I saw the weather forecast for the day of Jackie and Duke’s Donner Summit engagement photos, I squinted a bit and leaned closer to my computer screen. Even though it was a calm and sunny day outside at the time, things were about to change- Big Time. A low pressure system powered by frigid…
Tahoe City Dock Wedding: Maggie + Sten
Can you imagine saying “I do” surrounded on by Lake Tahoe on all sides? And then, hopping into an old-fashioned “woody” boat for a celebratory cruise? At their Tahoe City dock wedding, Maggie and Sten exchanged vows with close family and friends on a small private pier in Hurricane Bay. They also took a little…
Olympic Valley Engagement Photo Award
I don’t always bring a tripod to an engagement session. But when I do, I try to make a photo that justifies the effort. I hereby dedicate this Olympic Valley engagement photo award to a piece of equipment that I almost never use. Many people think that a tripod is the telltale sign of a…
Eagle Rock Tahoe Elopement: LeAnna + Nate
This past year opened my eyes to the beautiful potential of small weddings in Lake Tahoe. Needless to say, many couples postponed their 2020 celebration. However, many others shifted gears and reimagined their wedding day entirely. LeAnna and Nate’s Eagle Rock Tahoe elopement is a good example. Their original wedding plans involved a popular lakeside…
San Francisco Engagement Photographer Awards
The Wedding Photojournalist Association routinely holds contests for engagement photos. I selected some of my favorite photos from past Bay Area engagement sessions and sent them in. The good news is that several won San Francisco engagement photographer awards in that contest round. Even though I love pre-wedding photos in Lake Tahoe, I do enjoy…
