Dusti + Tony {lake tahoe engagement session}

I spent the weekend in Tahoe with friends.  Friends who just got betrothed.  (Yes, I just used a silly, old-fashioned word.  In fact, the dictionary tells me it dates to 1588.)  So I insisted that they let me take some engagement photos.  We started the day on the slopes and, though I was initially a little nervous about snowboarding with my camera, no lenses or bodies (camera or human) were harmed in the making of these photos.  We re-enacted the proposal (Tony proposed on the lift) and tried to make snow angels (snow was too hard) and then rewarded ourselves with a Bloody Mary (very tasty).  We headed home for a quick clothing change and then into South Lake Tahoe where we found some big rocks, a dock, a very cool wooden building and a big green door.  We had big plans to head to the casinos but the lure of food and a cold beer won out in the end.

Dusti and Tony are getting married in Breckenridge, Colorado in December and I’ll be there as a guest, not a photographer but I might still snap a photo or two.  Maybe.

Jill + Jonathan {south lake tahoe wedding photography}

Small, intimate weddings are so special. Jill and Jonathan’s wedding at the Valhalla Grand Hall in the Tallac Historical Site in South Lake Tahoe was all three of those – small, intimate and special. The Grand Hall is a beautiful old building right on the lake – all wooden and rustic yet refined. Unfortunately it was freezing outside and very windy so we ended up doing most of the shots indoors. Jill and Jonathan did brave the lakeside for a very quick session on the dock before we sprinted back inside to warm up with some food and dancing.
