Lake Tahoe Wedding: First Look and Portraits

Apr 9, 2010 | Weddings

Anne + Chris’ wedding took place at the gorgeous Edgewood Golf Course in South Lake Tahoe.  It’s right on the lake, and surrounded by snow-covered mountains and majestic pine trees.  I can’t think of many more beautiful places to get married.  We also totally lucked out with the weather – 65 degrees and bright, bright sunshine and it wasn’t even the end of March.  Yeah!

When I arrived at the Edgewood, I grabbed a few detail shots, then some candids of the families who were beginning to gather.  Anne’s final preparations were in a tiny room in the basement of the venue – it may have been cramped, but it was filled with a happy buzz.

I loved Anne’s bouquet – so delicate and soft and pretty.  The bridesmaids did pretty well too …  Love those hues!

Once Anne was all ready, I hid Chris around the corner from the one shady spot I could find, and watched with glee as their first look unfolded.  Look at Anne’s expression – how could anyone not want photos like that?!

The crazy bright sunshine and lack of shade so early in the afternoon made for some challenging light for the formals … but the background pretty much made up for it.  🙂

There’s too much good stuff to share from the ceremony and reception to drown you in formals, although I do have to share this sweet little image of Anne:

The ceremony and reception photos will be along soon!

  6. I told you it would be incredibly tough to decide which pictures to print, Anne! Pretty nice to problem to have, though.
    Kate, these are amazing – I can’t wait to see a few more black and white ones, too, based on the one sample above. It doesn’t hurt that this couple is so darn photogenic either, does it? 🙂
