Zephyr Cove Lake Tahoe 100

Such a special wedding, small, intimate, on the beach, and looking out to Lake Tahoe. If I were to get married again, this is how I’d do it.

Verna kept her vows close to her heart.

The first time I spoke with Krizia was a little over a month ago, as she hadn’t considered photography for her wedding day. Thanks to one of her close friends (Thanks Mellisha!) she had a change of heart and I was able to be a part of their special day. The wedding took place at the gorgeous Auberge du Soleil in the wine country. The day started off with some slight rain and heavy clouds, but cleared up just in time for their ceremony.

I love this little capture. During the toasts, it was constantly mentioned how Krizia is always caring and nurturing, and I could totally see it during their first dance. She held a little handkerchief throughout the dance and kept wiping away the sweat from Nicks head. So sweet.

When I shot Bonnie and Brians engagement at Exploratorium last year, I knew they were going to have some great ideas for their wedding day. They definitely delivered, and I was proposed with the idea of shooting in……….. a supermarket. Yes, a supermarket! Lot’s of fun, but next time, definitely check with the PR manager first ; )

After the first look, we grabbed a few portraits around the Cypress Hotel.

As Bonnie said, a play on words, “Walking down the aisle.”

Brian is a musician, so of course we had to incorporate some music in the photos : )

A very sweet gift exchange. Brian had written and sang a song for Bonnie.

They also played a kissing game, where the guests were to perform a kiss and the newlyweds had to follow along. Loved the look on Bonnies face.
