Keri and Hunter’s country Galena Creek Fish Hatchery wedding was such an amazing family-centered celebration. So many details of their day were handled with the help of wonderful friends and gracious family members.

Keri & Hunter Join Lives Together at Country Galena Creek Fish Hatchery Wedding

You’ll see in the photos below that Keri & Hunter have a beautiful family already, but it was so heartwarming watching their daughter and Keri’s son come down the aisle as part of their wedding ceremony.

So many parts of their day were touching and special. I LOVED working with these two and the amazing  tribe surrounding them. A wedding is no small feat to pull together, but Keri & Hunter did it and made it feel like a real down-home gathering.

Their wedding was bittersweet for me, as it was the last of my 2017 season. But I am so thrilled that I could close my season out with such a loving and laid back couple!

Cheers to always & forever, Keri & Hunter! I’m excited to see your family again soon and capture the moments of your kids getting older!

This beautiful and bright fall wedding at The Grove in Reno was one of my last weddings of the 2017 season. It was also one of the most gorgeous fall days, ever.

Holly and Mike truly had a spectacular day full of so much love and laughter. And the thought they poured into their wedding definitely shows. There were so many sweet unique aspects to this wedding. You’ll see in the photos below how their wedding was so beautifully orchestrated!

Perfection during a bright fall wedding at The Grove

The Grove in the fall is absolutely amazing. I don’t think Holly and Mike could have chosen a more perfect day to say “I do.”

It was so special with the lovely fall foliage surrounding them, along with the crispness in the fall air.

I LOVED shooting this wedding and working with Holly and Mike from our original conversations, through their engagement and now their wedding.

Enjoy my favorites from their incredible day below!

Angie and Kyle chose to get married on the beautiful shore of South Lake Tahoe at Edgewood Tahoe this summer. And their Edgewood wedding was such an amazing day full of love, laughter and happy tears!

Their day started at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino where they prepped with their wedding parties, anticipating the celebration ahead! It was then that I found out from her mom that Angie and her twin sister’s original due date was February 14th. Same as my twin babies! It was a fun little way to start the day for me personally 🙂

At Edgewood, the guys did fun portraits on the beach and pier. The gals were photographed in front of the clubhouse and in a pretty little garden on the side of the golf course. My team and I had so much fun getting to know this wedding party and taking all the fun portraits before the gorgeous ceremony on the beach.

Edgewood Wedding on the Beach at Sunset

As the sun started to set, Angie and Kyle said their “I Do’s” in front of their very best friends and families. It was such a sweet and emotional ceremony. And I loved how the sun created a warm glow surrounding them.

After their beautiful ceremony, Angie and Kyle had a chance to bask in that late afternoon sun as we walked the beach for post-ceremony portraits. And not to toot my own horn, but I got my most epic sunset photo EVER during this time with Angie and Kyle.

Sidenote: It seems like most of my Tahoe weddings have lacked “good” cloudy sunsets that light up the sky. So thanks, Angie & Kyle for making all my sunset photography dreams come true on your wedding day 🙂

Rockin’ Edgewood Reception

When it was time to party…it was REALLY time to party! Angie and Kyle’s grand entrance included their first dance on a cloud (provided by Justincredible DJ), which was SO COOL. And after the toasts, dinner, dances, garter and bouquet tosses, the laughs continued on through the rest of the night as guests danced and enjoyed the photobooth.

It was SUCH a good time and I had an absolute blast photographing this amazing Edgewood wedding with my team. Congrats, Angie & Kyle – you two are an incredible couple and I wish you both and your families all the very best!

Paris and Andy’s beautiful Greenhorn Creek Guest Ranch Wedding was SUCH a pleasure to photograph this September. It happened to be one of the hottest days of the summer, but that didn’t stop anyone from having the time of their lives!

I love finding out how people met – especially in the age of online dating. These two actually met on a ski lift in Salt Lake City…can you believe that? What are the odds that the love of your life might hop on a ski life beside you? Andy then proposed 7.5 years later at the Conservatory of Flowers at Golden Gate Park. It must have been so romantic. If you’ve ever been there, you know how beautiful it is! The rest, as they say, is history 🙂

Paris and Andy’s Summer Greenhorn Creek Guest Ranch Wedding

The day started as Paris and Andy prepared in their cabins at Greenhorn Creek Guest Ranch. After “icing” her bridesmaids (such a funny new tradition and I love it), Paris and Andy shared their first look. I’m always a fan of the first look, and theirs was held in a gorgeous corner of the ranch. I love their portraits from this part of the day.

Then, we brought their whole wedding party out for portraits and did family portraits before the ceremony as well. Speaking of their ceremony, you can see by the tears and smiles that Paris and Andy had amazing vows for each other. I have to admit I shed a tear or two during the ceremony.

The coolest part of their Greenhorn Creek Guest Ranch wedding ceremony was how the horses were released to run behind the pond during the kiss. It sounded like thunder and it was more amazing than I could have imagined.

A gorgeous Greenhorn Creek Guest Ranch Wedding Reception

After the ceremony, it was time for dances, toasts and wild moments. I had a TON of fun capturing fun photos of the festivities. We also took a few moments to take some cool post-sunset portraits in the most beautiful soft light of the day.

This was a wedding day to remember and I am so excited to share just a snippet of my favorites from Paris and Andy’s amazing Greenhorn Creek Guest Ranch wedding below! Enjoy – and cheers to Paris and Andy!
