Our favorite this week from Tahoe Unveiled

This week on our sister site, Tahoe Unveiled, we highlighted a photography contest sponsored by Tahoe Unveiled in collaboration with Theilen Photography - and we are participating as one of the judges! See below for all of the details.  

 

Wedding photography takes enormous amounts of dedication. It’s not about the type of camera you have or what lenses you use; it’s about YOU, the photographer! It’s about the time it takes to get to know a couple and capture some of their most intimate moments. We want to celebrate our love for wedding photographers. We will be compiling a collection of the most stunning 20 images and a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Submit your best Lake Tahoe wedding photographs to our very first Best of the Lake contest.

With industry judges: Stephanie Anderson of One Fine Day Events, Matt Theilen  of Theilen Photography.

Tahoe Unveiled's Weekly Fave!

This week on our sister site, Tahoe Unveiled, we had the privilege of viewing  super special moments right before a couple walks down the aisle. This has come to be known as "the first look." This ultra-special moment is so beautiful for a number of reasons - it's the first time the soon to be newlyweds see each other before they stroll down the aisle to become husband and wife, it's super private and usually only includes the two of them (and of course your wedding photographer to capture the moment!) and it's a great way to get all of the nervousness out of the way so that you can really concentrate on your vows! Take a peek below for some beautiful "first look" moments!

Whether you're looking for a down-home rustic vibe or a slightly more elegant look, farm tables are the way to go! It's all a matter of either a chandelier here or a polished vase there and you can achieve the perfect look. Here are a few examples of a dressed up farm table with touches of rustic elegance...one of my personal faves!

Lake Tahoe Wedding Inspiration | Wedded Bliss

Photographs are one of those unbelievable things that can transport you back in time to a special memory or occasion and it's almost like you're re-living that day all over again. I really love wedding ring photography, with both rings intermingled amongst one another. There's something so special and sweet about it- it's pure wedded bliss, just like the bride and groom!
