What a wonderful small intimate wedding this was. The perfect setting for this ultra easy laidback couple. This was my first destination wedding and I had such a good time. And a lot goes to such a wonderful bride and groom. I was super excited for this wedding for months. AND I had my lovely friend , Katie, 2nd shooting with me. She becomes more special to me every time I see her!
I had never been to Tahoe and heard so much about it. It is absolutely breathtaking! It fit J & O’s personalities perfectly. Their love was just like Tahoe, naturally beautiful. No need for the large festivities. Just simple. Real. Them. I can see why they chose this beautiful place to commit their lives together………… and join at the hips……wink…..:)
The day started at Sessions Salon where they have up to 5 or 6 bridal parties a weekend! Tahoe is a popular place to get married!
I ADORE her crinkle nose smile! So cute!
Her wonderful Aunt who helped the pair get ready.
Simple and elegant.
Gorgeous bouquet and an apple from the mother of the groom’s tree.
All ready!
These two were so laidback that they actually got ready together! So we didn’t do a First Look naturally, just straight into the portrait session. I LOVE that they allotted over an hour for their pictures. We were able to shoot in 3 different locations, one being a field behind Denny’s that Katie and I spotted while we were getting milkshakes and chicken strips to go that morning!
Two of my favorites!
I love the the last image of her………beautiful and so happy!
Sweet moment with her grandmother after the ceremony.
The reception dinner took place at Riva Grill overlooking the Lake with breathtaking views of the sunset.
LOVING these sunset shots Katie took.
Thank you so much J and O for being so sweet. We wish you many days of happiness together. You guys are such a wonderful couple. Thank you for everything!
