There are few places more majestic in California than the Sierra mountains, so for an adventure-driven and wilderness-loving couple, getting married at Sugar Bowl Resort near Lake Tahoe was a dream! Their feet occasionally crunched on leftover snow during the first look, and S + D said their vows beneath the canopy of towering evergreens with the sun streaming through. Talk about magical photo ops: warm weather AND snow! Paradise!

Having vacationed together at Sugar Bowl over the years, the location was special for the happy couple. You could tell by how relaxed and joyous they were all day, that not only had they picked the right place to get married, these two had picked the perfect partners: they are clearly meant for each other.

S + D are such genuine and sweet souls. We enjoyed photographing every moment of their wedding day: their giddy preparations, the intimate and meaningful ketubah signing ceremony, the breathtaking cocktail hour at the mountain lookout point, the non-stop dance moves all night long, and the dazzling sparkler departure! A wonderful time was had by all :)

Congratulations S + D on your marriage! Lots of love and tons of happiness to you both!

xoxo,

Ariel + Sam

L + J had their closest friends and family form a perfect circle around them, while they stood hand-in-hand under a homemade chuppah, during their wedding ceremony. Pt. Reyes is one of the most beautiful places in California, and these two lovebirds could not have chosen a more wonderful location for their wedding. We had a wonderful time photographing their perfect day, filled with dancing in the light of a magical sunset, a zillion varieties of delectable wedding pie and so many epic dance moves on the dance floor.

Congratulations L + J! We're so happy for you and wish you tons of joy in your life together as a married couple :)
