Tim and Susan chose the West Shore Cafe in Homewood, Lake Tahoe for their wedding day. Talk about a photographers dream to photograph at with its huge windows, ornate lanterns, private beach, and dock! I think it may just be my new favorite wedding venue at Lake Tahoe! This beautiful Lake Tahoe venue set against a stormy sky made for a great day.
It doesn’t seem that long ago that I first talked with Tim and Susan to setup their engagement session at Lake Tahoe. When we finally got to meet in person, I became so excited for their wedding because I knew that with Susan at the reins planning her day, it was going to be perfection. And I was right. Everything came together beautifully and I am excited to share the photos of their day with you. Congratulations Tim and Susan!!! Thanks for letting me play a small role on your BIG day!

Tim gave Susan FOUR cards along with a gift. He couldn’t choose just one! This was the last card of the group!

One of the many special touches from the day. A penny from the year that Susan’s mom was married and wore in her shoe, and a 2016 penny for Susan’s wedding day . . .
