“…everything about that day was perfect and we enjoyed every minute! We loved having our close family there to celebrate with us and couldn’t have done it without them! We also really enjoyed the view of the lake and the perfect weather during our ceremony!”

After tying the knot, Jessica and Dylan celebrated in Tahoe…

“We spent the rest of the week in Tahoe celebrating, enjoying the beaches and finally being married! We had such a great time with our family and friends after the wedding. Most everyone stayed a couple of extra days to celebrate with us.”

Advice to future couples who are currently planning their elopement:

“Your plans can and will change, even the day of. Don’t stress out, go with the flow and enjoy the moment. As long as you are both in your wedding attire and you are together the moment will feel special! One thing that really helped us was to make lists of everything to bring and anything we needed to do before the wedding. This helped ease our minds and made sure we didn’t forget anything. If possible we also recommend visiting your ceremony spot a couple times before the big day. It will help you ease the nerves and better visualize the ceremony.”

Jessica and Dylan, thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your intimate celebration. I had the best time with you! From our initial call to hugging goodbye, I have no doubt we were the perfect match. I also can't believe what a PERFECT day we got in Tahoe. The blooming wildflowers, the meadow, the peninsula all to ourselves...beyond perfect :)
