Lakeside Beach Elopement | Lili + David

Posted on May 31, 2017 by LCLindley

Lili and David met while working at a summer camp years ago. He’s from Ireland and what ensued was a global romance, that involved trips to Australia, transAtlantic long distance love and finally, a pledge to wed. It took sometime to secure David’s visa and Lili and David were adamant that I be the one to photograph their elopement, which is the ultimate compliment. I got to pick the time (sunset of course!) and we started off with a portrait session at nearby Kahle Community Center and Rabe Meadows.

I’m so excited for these two to not only be in the same continent, but to have shared their experience with me. They were nothing but laughter and smiles the entire evening. It was an incredibly special Tahoe sunset Lakeside Beach elopement and I feel pretty lucky to have been the one to capture their ceremony.

Tahoe Family Portraits | Bryant Family

Posted on May 26, 2017 by LCLindley

This family has the cutest most adorable endearing two year old ever. The weather the week they were on their Tahoe vacation was incredibly cold and blustery and for a few days, we weren’t sure if we were going to have a weather window on this day to photograph their Tahoe family portraits. In the end, we had some beautiful overcast skies and nice soft light but frigid May temps. Their kiddo was a trooper and was almost all smiles the whole time, especially because her parents were hands on and excited to interact with her. From games of hide and seek to playing with pinecones, your natural interactions with your children create images of precious vacation memories that you’ll value as a keepsake from your travels!

Tahoe Engagement Session | Brianna + Aaron

Posted on May 8, 2017 by LCLindley

Brianna and Aaron trekked all the way up to Tahoe and then back home to the bay area in one day just for their engagement session. I felt like that was quite the effort just to come see me, so I gave them the royal tour and took them to all of my favorite spots for a ton of variety. We started out with coffees at the always adorable and endearing Red Hut Cafe Soda Fountain on Ski Run Blvd and then followed it up with stops at Kahle Community Center, Rabe Meadows, and the meadow in Al Tahoe for sunset. They were so fun to work with – they spent the entire time laughing and totally at ease and their love, affection and genuine enthusiasm just gushes from their photos. I can’t wait for their wedding in August!

Tahoe Engagement Session | Lake Tahoe, CA | Lisa + Jeff

Posted on March 17, 2017 by LCLindley

Lisa and Jeff wanted a double whammy of locations for their Tahoe engagement session: forest and mountains were important to them so we hit up Kahle Community Center for the aspens and the forest and then the Trout Creek meadow behind Al Tahoe for some epic mountain views of Tallac and a killer sunset. These two were married earlier in March and I’m looking forward to sharing their gorgeous Tahoe winter wedding photos with everyone!

Landing Resort Wedding | Lake Tahoe, CA | Lex + Michael

Posted on February 27, 2017 by LCLindley

Lex and Michael’s image from their Hora may be one of my most favorite images ever. The combination of surprise, concern and hands everywhere makes me incredibly happy. I also couldn’t help but put a ton of their portraits in this post, which is unusual for me, but they are so ridiculously good looking and adorable that I couldn’t help myself. This young couple has been together SINCE JUNIOR HIGH (yes, seriously) and their parents and families are already best friends. What I expected to be a quiet, subdued Sunday brunch Landing Resort Wedding was the exact opposite: from a poignant ceremony, to tear filled speeches, to a pumped up dance party, this wedding delivered like no other brunch wedding ever has.
