Northstar Resort Lake Tahoe Wedding

December 26, 2023 in Wedding

This summer, I had the opportunity to photograph the most magical wedding at Northstar Ski Resort. I've spent many winters snowboarding up here and I actually got engaged here in 2019, so it was a dream come true to be back at this venue, shooting a wedding 8,000 ft up in the sky. The couple, Jake and Holly, have such an incredible love story.

Lake Tahoe Engagement Session

September 16, 2020 in Engagement

I’ve been dreaming of doing a Tahoe session since moving to Sacramento last year, so when Perry let me know they were in town visiting family and wanted to do their session there I was stoked! As I was driving around Donner Lake, I actually pulled off the side of the road to check my phone for a new trail, and BAM! right there in front of me was the most magical wooded area.

You Look Like The Rest Of My Life

Exactly one month ago Broc and I got engaged!!! On the three year anniversary from our first kiss, Broc slipped this rose gold beauty on my hand while we were snowboarding in Tahoe.

Our proposal story begins like most: one person acting weird and the other cold and irritated. Broc had set it up to propose at the 2pm Northstar Tōst, but it was snowing so hard that it was canceled that day. Broc was acting sketchy all day, and when he didn’t want to drink a beer at the lodge, I knew something was seriously off. He was on his phone and said he wanted to meet up with friends, but he was actually trying to still set it up in secret with the manager.

TAHOE'S FOR LOVERS

February 22, 2017 in love, Travel, Personal

This past weekend Broc and I decided to head up to Tahoe with one of his best friends, Brandon, and his beautiful fiancee, Lexie. We took our little pup, Loki, so he could experience his first snow... and snow is what we got!

We went straight to Boreal Mountain for their $15 college student Friday's (my 2011 ID from my one semester is still going strong - heck yeah!) and drove straight into a winter wonderland. Loki got out of the car and preceded to go absolutely nuts digging and eating the snow which was pretty adorable. I like to think that as a husky he's had daily dreams of running across big, snowy plains and all his dreams were suddenly coming true when his four little paws hit that white fluff.
