Couples- promise me if you ever get the chance to do a Lake Tahoe destination wedding that you’ll do it. Deal? Deal.
The largest freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Tahoe sits over the border of Nevada and California and attracts over 15 million visitors each year. It’s the perfect destination wedding pick, offering rustic accommodations for outdoor lovers, and ritzy ones for those who just like looking at it. Furthermore, a plethora of restaurants, bars, and breweries ensure guests are never bored. Jake and Emily dreamed of a wedding destination somewhere dear to their outdoorsy hearts, yet accessible for all their out of town family and friends… so Valhalla Tahoe was the perfect place to gather all of their loved ones. The waterfront venue boasts of rustic Tahoe excellence with a lawn that stretches straight up to a private dock, towering ponderosa pines, and epic views of the mountains cascading into that emerald green lake.
Intentionally planned details included custom drawn stationary by a close friend and privately exchanged vows during the first look. Additionally, the tiara Emily wore was passed down from her late-Grandmother. Even the endless, wispy pines of the forest accented perfectly against the jewel toned florals. Typical for June weather in Tahoe, we saw sun, rain, and even snow all in the same day. However, as day bled into night, an unexpected pastel sunset splashed over our heads. It served as an epic reminder that enduring love is worth the journey.
