Emerald Bay Wedding | Chris and Stacy

By |September 18th, 2023|Elopement, Tahoe, Tips, wedding, Wedding Planning|

Should you choose to completely disregard my advice in my previous blog post about all the reasons why you should hold your Emerald Bay wedding by boat, then I am still here for you, albeit perhaps a bit begrudgingly. It is the hard truth that although picturesque, getting married or eloping at the top of Emerald Bay comes with significant challenges. You might think that an intimate wedding with less people provides less stress, but I can tell you with certainty (as can Chris and Stacy) that it does not in Emerald Bay. Still dedicated to an Emerald Bay elopement? Read on my friend.

By |July 31st, 2023|Commercial Photography, Food, Tahoe|

As a Reno Tahoe food photographer and commercial photographer, I sometimes get lucky and get to combine my passion for photography and my job with my love for food! Recently, I was hired to photograph a number of Lake Tahoe restaurants for The Infatuation, a restaurant review and recommendation site that focuses on discovering the best dining experiences in various cities. To be honest, prior to being hired, I hadn't ever heard of The Infatuation, but I can say with certainty I'm going to be using them as a resource when I travel in the future! I'm excited to share with you some of the work I captured for The Infatuation at some of my favorite Tahoe eateries (and a handful of new ones!) for their article on The 19 Best Restaurants Near Lake Tahoe.

Idle Hour Wedding | Lake Tahoe, CA | Greg + Daphne

By |April 17th, 2023|Tahoe, wedding|

First thing you need to know about these Greg and Daphne: they are bold and adventurous. Daphne wanted nothing but snow on her wedding day and snow she got. In fact, what they got was an absolute downright blizzard. I'm not sure why they bothered to do their hair, but it felt right so they went with it. Daphne and Greg are very clearly surrounded by people who love them very much because every guest accommodated their wacky winter Idle Hour wedding with few complaints. I can assure you though, everyone had very cold hands.

Camp Galilee Summer Camp Wedding | Rachael + Garrett

By |November 7th, 2022|camping, Tahoe, wedding|

A summer camp wedding is the perfect destination wedding for the client who wants a relaxed, but all encompassed vacation weekend for their celebration. A relaxing destination wedding at an established summer camp like Camp Galilee allows everyone to enjoy an extended amount of time socializing, but in a more budget friendly way and, better yet, all on the same property. For Rachael and Garrett, who both previously worked at Camp Galilee, it was the perfect location because it is a place near and dear to both their hearts.
