Candice and Erik hired me about a month before their big day! Because of personal reasons they opted out of a big wedding and decided to elope in Emerald Bay. They had an intimate ceremony in the mountains where they shared vows in a private lookout point. Regarding photography, they wanted a more candid and natural approach to their images. It was incredible special moment to witness and document such a special moment.

Candice and Erik, I can’t thank you enough for choosing me to be a part of it :)

Whenever we can, we spend our time outside. We love mountain biking, hiking, paddle boarding, and last year we took up snowshoeing!

Any honeymoon plans?

We’re actually back in Tahoe now, on our honeymoon! We’ve spent a week here hiking and mountain biking together and catching some epic sunsets. We visited Emerald Bay again too, the site of our elopement, and now it feels like such a special place to us that we can visit any time we’re back in the area.
