How to cross "Book DREAM wedding photographer" off your list
STEP ONE
Inquire here, I'll have a dance party & get back to you in 24 hours, we hop on a zoom call & chat all about your wedding vision, and get your date booked! YAY!
STEP TWO
I've lived down the hill from Lake Tahoe practically my entire life, and I know it like the back of my hand! I'll send over tons of location recommendations (& hidden, local-gems of course!) for you to choose from. Whether you want to hike somewhere for your ceremony or take photos there afterwards, we'll make sure these spots are perfect for what you're looking for.
STEP THREE
Some locations in Lake Tahoe require permits! Securing a permit means no one else can get married at that spot on that day/time, and makes sure we abide by all the rules of the parks. I know all the rangers and how this nitty-gritty process works, and I'll take care of it for you!!
STEP FOUR
THE DAY YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR IS FINALLY HEREEEEE! It's everything and more you could have wanted! I'm here to help and guide you every step of the way, make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera at all times, and capture your elopement exactly how it felt in real life.
STEP five
48 hours later, your receive a preview gallery of the best weekend of your lives. 50+ images right away, that instantly bring back all the emotion. Then 4 weeks later, your full gallery arrives, and it's perfect.
"Bridgette has a true gift—not only is her work stunning, but she brings such calm, warmth, and care to every moment...."
"The most incredible photographer and experience—we’re beyond grateful!
Our wedding day was truly a dream come to life, and so much of that magic is thanks to Bridgette. I’ve found myself emotional just thinking back on how perfect everything was, and that’s how I know we had someone really special by our side. From start to finish, she made everything feel effortless and fun.
Bridgette has a true gift—not only is her work stunning, but she brings such calm, warmth, and care to every moment. She helped us feel present, relaxed, and completely ourselves throughout the entire day. It’s clear she’s doing exactly what she was meant to do.
Even now, I feel a little “post-wedding sadness” simply because the day was that beautiful. But I’m so thankful to have memories that will last forever—and so much of that is because of her. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Bridgette. You’ll always hold a special place in our story. If you’re lucky enough to work with her, you’ll see exactly what I mean. 💖"

"Would give her 6 stars if I could!!!"
"Bridgette did our wedding photos and working with her was INCREDIBLE start to finish. She went so above and beyond to make our wedding day the best day of our lives and the photos are absolutely stunning. We look like movie stars! She made us feel so comfortable and was prepared for anything (fixing my hair, helping me change), and was just such a fun and positive presence on our big day. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience and are so grateful we have these photos to relive it all over again. Would give her 6 stars if I could!!!"
