Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Wedding
“It was truly the best day of our lives and I can't believe it comes and goes in a blink of an eye; we had so much fun with our family, friends and our vendors made it all come to life.”- Lil and Brian
A very serendipitous event led me to photograph Lil and Brian's wedding. They first saw me the morning they got engaged. I was photographing another couple in Emerald Bay and they reached out shortly after to book their engagement shoot and wedding, and I'm so glad they did! Not only was the planning and design so beautiful to photograph, but the most important thing for them was to relax and have fun. My wedding love language is couples who are intentional about their planning and on the wedding day let everything unfold without “perfect” expectations. Lil and Brian simply wanted to enjoy their time with their favorite people. "... As long as our friends, family and some cocktails are there, we are good!"
“The first look was one of our favorite parts because it helped us both reconnect and relax. Dancing was also our favorite part to let loose and dance with our favorite people!”
Lil and Brian also had a private vow reading before the ceremony…
Advice to future couples who are currently planning their wedding:
“If you can tap into a creative side, you can make your dream come true with any budget.”
Family Photos: before and after
Fun Fact:
"We were dating for 10 years until we got married."
"Our cat, Eloise, is our entire world (lol)."
The couple took a peek of their reception before guests were invited in and it was one of my favorite moments…
The end.
