I first met Faith and Andrew during their engagement session, which they had meticulously planned. They introduced me to their favorite spots, which have since become popular choices for other couples. Their connection was instantly apparent; they interacted effortlessly, making the experience feel like spending time with old friends. Check out their South Lake Tahoe engagement session here.

The day began at Edgewood Resort, where Faith prepared for her wedding with her bridesmaids and mom. We captured all the beautiful details, Faith enjoyed a champagne toast with friends, and shared a special moment with her mom. We then headed to 4H Camp for Faith and Andrew’s first look. Under the Jeffrey Pines, they had a private moment before the ceremony. As the wind picked up, we quickly moved to the beach for portraits before the weather worsened. Although the lakeside ceremony was the initial plan, it was moved to the amphitheater due to the weather. We took a few more photos on the dock and wrapped up with wedding and family portraits just before the rain began.

As the ceremony approached, Faith had thoughtfully arranged clear umbrellas for all the guests. The August day turned chilly with wind and rain. As Faith walked down the aisle, a dramatic thunderstorm broke out as she reached Andrew. Despite the weather, Faith and Andrew remained completely focused on each other and their heartfelt vows, showcasing their deep love and commitment. Guests and the couple dashed through the rain to the cocktail hour, where they enjoyed a brief respite, and Faith and Andrew were able to greet their guests warmly. The rain intensified, but things calmed down enough for their first dance and heartfelt toasts from parents and friends. These moments, filled with deep emotions and connections, are always my favorite part of the day.

We nearly missed out on portraits due to the weather, but a brief break at golden hour allowed us to capture some truly magical moments. Andrew sped us in the golf cart to make it just in time for my favorite portraits of the day. When the next storm hit, we moved inside for parent dances and a lively dance party. I can’t express enough how incredible it is to connect with couples like Faith and Andrew. I’m so grateful to have met these two amazing people. My heart is full!
