Triple S Ranch Wedding | Calistoga, CA

Triple S Ranch Wedding | Calistoga, CA

By LCLindley|March 27th, 2023|California, wedding, Wine|

Sarah and Nathan picked quite possibly the best wedding venue in Napa, CA. It’s beautiful. It’s unique. It’s luxurious without being pretentious. It has all the elements a venue needs to make your wedding day unforgettable. From the stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and mountains to the exquisite gardens and elegant indoor spaces that make you feel like you’re in a villa in Italy, this venue has it all. I fell in love with both Calistoga and the rolling hills of this Triple S Ranch wedding and you will too.

Lucky Arrow Retreat Wedding | Dripping Springs, TX

By LCLindley|March 6th, 2023|wedding|

Dripping Springs, located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, is a perfect destination wedding location and one that I personally would love to visit more often! From breathtaking natural beauty to top-notch wedding venues and accommodations, and a wealth of breweries, wineries, and distilleries, Dripping Springs has everything you need to make your wedding a memorable and enjoyable experience for you and your guests, whether they are coming from Austin or farther. This past fall, I was honored to second shoot a Lucky Arrow Retreat wedding with my friend and frequent associate Lisa Hause. We both fell head over heels for this incredible all inclusive summer camp wedding venue just outside of Austin, TX.

Catalina Island Wedding Photographer | Laura + Chris

By LCLindley|January 30th, 2023|wedding|

I might have found the most perfect destination wedding location in the United States, and by I, I mean my friends and clients Laura and Chris may have found the most perfect destination wedding location in the United States and I just happened to FALL IN LOVE. Catalina Island, located off the coast of California, is a popular destination for tourists looking for a mix of natural beauty and recreational activities and better yet, for those of us in Northern California, it's simply a one-hour flight away. Have you ever dreamed of a place where you feel like you are in Greece, but in California? Well, we found it and it's called Catalina Island. If you are looking for a Catalina Island Wedding Photographer, sign me the fuck up because I can't wait to go back.

Planning a wedding is a CHALLENGE. You may be overly excited about your engagement, only to discover when it comes to wedding planning all the fun seems to be leaching out of the process, leaving you languishing and overwhelmed. Sound familiar? I'm here to tell you that when it comes to planning a wedding, especially a destination wedding, there are plenty of benefits to opting for a small, intimate micro-wedding. There are even more benefits when you start looking at venues and decide to go with a backyard wedding at a private estate. Katie and TJ did exactly that and the result was a hilarious, intimate, and absolutely perfect private estate wedding in Summit County, CO.

Deer Park Villa Wedding | Michael + Shannon

Deer Park Villa Wedding | Michael + Shannon

By LCLindley|December 19th, 2022|wedding|

When I finally delivered Michael and Shannon's Deer Park Villa wedding gallery to them, Michael told me that it it "felt like a friend" had captured their wedding. "You caught the moments a close friend would have caught for me." What a wonderful compliment that is. I have to be honest though - it was easy to make the Deer Park Villa look stunning because, to be frank, it's an incredibly stunning venue tucked away into the charming af town of Fairfax, CA.

Andrea's grandparents held a Notre Dame des Victoires wedding, so when they decided to have a destination elopement in San Francisco, it seemed like the perfect location, complete with a reception at the Mill Rose Inn in Half Moon Bay, CA.

Camp Galilee Summer Camp Wedding | Rachael + Garrett

Camp Galilee Summer Camp Wedding | Rachael + Garrett

By LCLindley|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.

Consider this when you’re creating your own wedding timeline

Consider this when you’re creating your own wedding timeline

By LCLindley|October 5th, 2022|Tips, wedding, Wedding Planning|

While your photographer will be happy to help you create a timeline of the day based on photos, it’s really up to you or (preferably) your wedding coordinator to create a full-fledged timeline. The day-of timeline is an easily overlooked, but essential piece that ensures your day runs smoothly. In case you don’t have a wedding coordinator, here are a few tips what to do if you’re creating your own wedding timeline.

Tahoe South of North Brewing Wedding | Matt + Patrice

Tahoe South of North Brewing Wedding | Matt + Patrice

By LCLindley|September 12th, 2022|Death, Tahoe, wedding|

Matt and Patrice have been together for all of their adult lives. They never originally intended to marry, feeling together wholly outside of convention and societal norms. Patrice's late mother, however, wanted nothing more than to see them commit their lives together in the bond of marriage and when she was diagnosed with an aggressive terminal illness, Matt and Patrice planned a wedding. Patrice's mother never saw her marry - she passed on the day of their original elopement during the year of Covid lockdowns. They made a pledge that they would celebrate surrounded by the people they love and one year later, Matt and Patrice renewed their vows in the best way they knew how - with a grand party in Lake Tahoe with a Tahoe South of North Brewing Wedding, absolutely surrounded by all their friends and family. More from their Basecamp Hotel destination wedding in South Lake Tahoe is up on my blog today.

Round Hill Pines Wedding | Laura and Hayden

Round Hill Pines Wedding | Laura and Hayden

By LCLindley|August 29th, 2022|wedding|

Round Hill Pines Beach and Resort is one of my favorite beach wedding venues in Lake Tahoe for a reason. After being purchased and renovated by Bob and Tammy Hassett in recent years, they've really stepped up their game. The staff is incredibly competent, the food is excellent, the new patio and grill is fantastic, and they give you a private beach location for your event with a perfect backdrop of Lake Tahoe. What does perfect mean to me? There's no beach goers nearby, it's not filled with boats in the background, and there's great scale because of the inlet of trees and rocks in the foreground that give scope and scale to the great expanse of the beautiful place I live in. See more from a Round Hill Pines wedding here!

Discovery Bay Country Club Wedding | Becca + Louie

Discovery Bay Country Club Wedding | Becca + Louie

By LCLindley|August 8th, 2022|California, wedding|

About 8 years ago, I second shot a wedding at Tenaya Lodge in Yosemite for another photographer. I worked with this photographer quite a bit at the beginning of my career, despite the fact that our styles were EXTREMELY different. He was an older, very classic, traditional wedding photographer with a smidge of hokeyness (think props and signs and very awkward direction). I offered him a side of photography that he wasn't trained in and a more well rounded gallery (you should always hire seconds that are great at your weaknesses y'all). Flash forward to 2022 and now I'm apparently part of the family!
