With crystal clear blue waters, the mountain backdrop of Lake Tahoe, and white sandy beaches, Sand Harbor State Park is one of the best locations on Lake Tahoe to elope or have a small intimate wedding.  Siobhan and Jeremy planned to elope at Sand Harbor State Park.  Tahoe is incredibly important to these two, who now reside in Sacramento, because they met at the Tahoe Beach Retreat and Hotel in the bar in South Lake Tahoe one fateful night while Jeremy was bartending.  The rest, as they say, is history.

Jeremy and Siobhan planned a small, intimate event in the middle of the day for their wedding.  They wanted their immediate family present only and then they had an extended, larger reception that evening at Himmel Haus in South Lake Tahoe. It was the perfect combination – a little bit of rage later in the evening, with a beautiful perfectly picturesque ceremony at Sand Harbor State Park.  Siobhan is one of FIVE sisters AND she’s a twin!  I had such a blast with her incredibly kind and generous family of females – they were full of fun, laughter and champagne – and you know that’s my jam!

Jeremy is best friends with one of my very good friends, Ed, and it was thanks to Ed and my friend Mike that we were all connected.  I felt so lucky to have found this rad couple and spent the day with them.  Jeremy and Siobhan – it was an honor to capture your memories, but next time, I’d like to come to Greece also to capture that because your honeymoon on Greek Islands looked out of this world incredible.
