When you plan a wedding at Lake Tahoe, there’s a good chance you want to find a way to make the water a co-star in your show. If you want the best way to explore the waters, I think I have just the venue for you! As a Tahoe wedding photographer, I have been lucky enough to explore some of the best hidden gems across the area. If you have a minute, I would love to tell you why a Zephyr Cove Resort wedding stands out amongst the rest! 

About The Zephyr Cove Resort Wedding Venue

760 U.S. Hwy 50, Zephyr Cove, Nevada 89448

Zephyr Cove Resort is nestled on the waterfront of Lake Tahoe, combining breathtaking views with high-end services. The resort operates within the Aramark chain, where adventure is at the heart of all they do. Whether they are leading whitewater rafting tours across Arizona or restoring beloved historic landmarks, they are constantly searching for ways to help you make the most of your surroundings. With Zephyr Cove Resort, you can spend your wedding weekend reconnecting with nature while throwing a truly legendary celebration! 

Details of the Grounds

With Zephyr Cove Resort, you will have plenty of options for your wedding day! I highly recommend booking a room for the weekend so you can have a luxurious space to get ready for the day. Plus, it will guarantee you’ll have a cozy place to crash with your partner once the party is over. 

For those who want a waterfront wedding, you can select their wedding site on the sands of South Lake Tahoe. You will have the mountains on full display as you exchange your vows in front of the turquoise waters. 

If you want to get a little more adventurous, the resort offers Tahoe Paradise, a luxury yacht that can hold up to 90 guests. You can exchange your vows before exploring Lake Tahoe in style! They also offer the paddlewheeler, the M.S. Dixie II, which can seat up to 500 guests. With either of these options, you will host your reception on board. 

If you prefer your party to be a bit more landlocked, you can hold your reception either outdoors or inside the Zephyr Cove Restaurant. This latter option offers a warm and rustic cabin ready to accommodate hours of celebration! 

Photography Opportunities

Zephyr Cove has no shortage of spectacular views, offering both the mountains and the lake as your backdrop. You can also find piers and decks that let you get on top of the water while staying dry. And of course, the boats make for a pretty unforgettable backdrop, perfect for sharing a kiss! 

Wedding Details

With this resort, you can prepare to be absolutely spoiled! They will work with you to develop the ideal menu for your party. Throughout your wedding, you will be able to opt for their day-of coordinator services to keep everything running smoothly. They also offer group pricing on their rooms.

SHALL WE MEET?

HI FRIENDS

I’m Kirsten—a wedding photographer here to guide you through this wildly exciting time…and toward the best lighting.

Ever since my days in the highschool darkroom, I’ve been enamored with the power images have to tell a compelling story. I went on to study photography and fashion at Savannah College of Art & Design and worked as an editor for a studio before founding Kirsten Marie Photography in 2012. Every day since, and I’ve fallen deeper in love with the art of wedding photography—there’s just nothing quite as fascinating and fulfilling as documenting the tenderness weddings bring out in people.

As someone who’s fairly spotlight-shy, I know how awkward being photographed can feel—which is why I work to bring an atmosphere of ease to our time together. I pour my whole heart into hyping you up, getting you the material you deserve, and making sure you feel comfortable and cared for.

Beyond the lens, I’m a mom to two feisty girls. Translation: there’s no group I can’t wrangle, no mountain I can’t summit, and no trail I can’t traverse. While you’re soaking in sunsets and sipping champagne—you can find me crawling through bushes and traipsing through snowpack to get the best angle…and loving every single second of it.
