MEET YOUR FRIENDLY TAHOE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Let’s create the Lake Tahoe wedding you’ve been dreaming of

If you want your story documented intimately, candidly and authentically, in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, we’re going to get along great.

Organising a destination wedding in Lake Tahoe is a lot. I get it.

AND I’M HERE TO MAKE THINGS A LOT EASIER FOR YOU.

I’ve had a front-row seat at hundreds of Lake Tahoe weddings so there is not much I don’t know about logistics, practicalities, in-laws and the light. (It’s always about the light.)

So when I work with you (I say work, but this really is the best job in the world) I have loads of wisdom, tips and contacts to make your day stress-free, and all about the magic and fun.

Because I’ve been to a wedding or two, I know where to be at the right time. On the day, your guests will probably think I’m just a good friend with a camera, a goofy smile and amazing photography skills. And you’ll relax, knowing that I’m quietly catching the laughter, tears, hugs, epic dance moves and all the unscripted stuff without missing a beat.

GETTING ALL YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLE TO TAHOE IS NO SMALL FEAT

You want photos that capture the blue skies, mountains, joy and the fun, spontaneous moments of this once-in-a-lifetime party.

YOU WANT A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO CAN FIT RIGHT IN

Discreet is my middle name! I pay attention to the details and go out of my way to get to know you and your closest circle. Your experience is my priority.

DOES THE PARTY REALLY HAVE TO END?

When the last guests are gone, you’ll want something beautiful to hold in your hands and remember every little detail. I offer a variety of beautiful albums so you can re-live the day, over and over.

CONSIDER ME YOUR LOCAL Tahoe photographer friend with a camera

HERE TO MAKE SURE YOUR DREAM DAY IS CAPTURED PERFECTLY.

Although I’ve shot hundreds of celebrations…I know that your special day is your special day. No-one else’s. So let’s catch the uniqueness of you, and celebrate your connection to each other under the immense Tahoe sky.

You deserve an experience that really embraces who you are.

That tells your unique wedding story through creative, candid and SIMPLY STUNNING photographs.

If you want to swap awkward poses for colorful, emotion-filled photos that really feel like you, you’re in the right place.

On your wedding day, your one and only job is to relax and enjoy every amazing moment. My job is to photograph real moments of you and your favorite people being your best selves on one of the most special days of your life.

My intuition, stealthy ninja moves and trained attention to detail mean that I will capture all the key moments as they unfold naturally. I’ve spent more than a decade honing my skills for your big day.

THE EXCITING PREP

BEFORE THE WEDDING

If you’re in town before the wedding, let’s hang out for a minute or two!
For epic photos at one of Tahoe’s secret spots, (or at a favorite location of your own), a fun engagement photo session is a no-brainer.

Any opportunity to chat about the wedding, family drama, or your chocolate dessert of choice is time well-spent. I want to get to know the real you!

THE BIG DAY IS HERE

THE MAIN EVENT!

Start the champagne when you want and party til your feet hurt – I’ll be there all day, documenting the beginning, middle and end of your story and delivering a seamless and personalized experience for you. 

A proper story shouldn’t skip the beginning or the end, and your big day shouldn’t be forced into a fixed-hour photography package.

AFTERWARDS

I WORK MY MAGIC

While you drift around on cloud nine (totally allowed) I will spend the next 10 weeks giving your photos the special treatment they deserve. During my editing process, every image gets individual attention, a trained eye, and just the right amount of cowbell.

PHOTOS IN YOUR HANDS

IF THE MEMORIES MATTER, PRINT THEM

Whether you choose an album or prints to decorate your home, I believe your precious wedding photos are best enjoyed in a printed form.

The tactile joy of turning a physical page, an act both simple and profoundly personal, remains irreplaceable in a world of digital screens.

INCREDIBLE JOB!

To begin with, the pictures are fantastic!!!! THANK YOU for doing such an incredible job!! WOW! I’ve been meaning to reach out and thank you again for everything you did to make the day perfect.

Your professionalism, great attitude and patience were so appreciated! No doubt there were times you wanted to strangle me (and my family) but you never let it show! 🙂 We also can’t thank you enough for being so wonderful during the planning phase.

I especially appreciate how prompt you were in your responses and how you were always willing to talk things through with me.

Thank you so much for taking the most AMAZING pictures at our wedding! You captured every moment and made it so much fun.

No doubt, we could not have asked for a better photographer! It has truly been a blast getting to know you throughout the past 10 months. You are so talented and it shows in your pictures!

It goes without saying, we will definitely be recommending you to our friends needing a photographer for their weddings in the years to come.

GOT SOME QUESTIONS?


All kinds! One of the best things about working with me is that I support you, regardless of how you choose to share your commitment. So, marry whoever you want, in whatever way celebrates you two best. I’ll be there, cheering you on (and working my magic with the camera).

So said some of my past couples, whose beautiful photos you can see here! For starters, my laid-back personality and calming presence help most people just relax and be themselves. Beyond that, my tried and true techniques take the focus away from me and my camera. Next thing you know, it’s just you two hanging out and having fun. Which always looks good in photos.

Engagement photos are a fun, relaxed way for us to build a relationship and get some practice in front of the camera before your wedding. You will also get an idea of my working style, which will help you feel even more comfortable on your wedding day.

A big plus is you can use these photos for your wedding website, save-the-date cards, invitations, social media, reception guest book, wedding decorations, or even in a special engagement photo album.

I typically deliver 70-100 photos per hour that I shoot. But who’s counting? I capture the best moments of your day and I edit them to create a beautiful narrative. No awkward expressions, no blurry photos. Just the good stuff.

Would you like to spend more time with everyone at cocktail hour? If there is enough time and space at your venue that guests won’t see you when they arrive (or you don’t mind if they do), a first look puts you in the party sooner once the ceremony finishes.

Or, does the traditionalist in you want to save that ‘first look’ for the ceremony? If your group portrait list is short, we can take those photos after the ceremony and get you off to cocktails ‘n guests as soon as possible. Either way, I support your choice and will find the right location and the right light to capture this powerful moment.

We love the mountains because they’re dramatic and beautiful…and that means the weather can be too. Some of the very best wedding photographs I’ve taken have been under umbrellas, with snow falling and wind in the hair. My experience photographing hundreds of weddings in all kinds of conditions means I’ll know how to get the best shots, no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.

Now we’re talking! If you think we’re a fit – you get to be yourselves, and I’ll get busy snapping the chemistry between you and capturing the buzz of your special day in Tahoe – then do get in touch. I get booked up months in advance so let’s start the conversation.

I am an experienced and friendly photographer specializing in Tahoe engagements and weddings, and I’m ready to document the Lake Tahoe wedding you’ve been dreaming of. My photographs capture the little moments (that are often the big moments) and the unexpected smiles, tears and laughter that every great love story brings.
