Beautiful Summer Wedding at The Landing Tahoe Resort

If you’ve ever dreamed of a Lake Tahoe wedding that feels equal parts elegant, laid-back, and full of sunshine — The Landing Tahoe Resort is one of those places that delivers every single time. Located right along the shoreline in South Lake Tahoe, it’s the perfect blend of lakefront views, luxury suites, and a relaxed mountain vibe that makes summer weddings here absolutely unforgettable.

This beautiful summer wedding at The Landing Tahoe Resort was full of warmth, laughter, and Katie and Preston’s favorite people!

One of my favorite things about photographing weddings at The Landing is that everything is in one place — the suites are spacious, full of natural light, and only steps away from the ceremony space on the deck, overlooking the water. It’s such a calm, easy start to the day.

Katie & Preston’s Wedding Day

Katie and Preston got engaged fall of 2024, which you can checkout here! I also captured their engagement photos later that winter, which you can see here. The day we’ve all been looking for was finally here- their wedding day!! It’s been an absolute honor being able to capture so many milestones for them, and can’t wait capturing their life’s memories.

They decided to have a smaller wedding, and invite around 40ish people to their wedding in Lake Tahoe. They rented out an Airbnb in South Lake Tahoe, and got ready there. You saw the brides dad upstairs making homemade sandwiches, the groomsmen hanging out playing pool downstairs, and the girls getting their makeup done with the door cracked, letting a cool breeze drift in.

When I arrived, I photographed her dress hung up, and all the candid moments of them getting ready!

First look at Heavenly Village

After they got ready, the boys left and I drove Katie to her first look! We decided on this stunning spot near the Airbnb that was under the pine tress, where they were surrounded by the forest. As Katie walked up to Preston, he was shocked and so excited to see her! He got tears in his eyes as they saw each other for the first time all dressed up on their wedding day

Reception at Primos Lake Tahoe

After their ceremony, everyone went to Primos for dinner, drinks, and celebrated all evening! Primo’s is this beautiful new restaurant in South Lake Tahoe, and I’d honestly never heard of it before their wedding! Stunning outdoor space for hosting their 40 guests, with glass windows and sunshine streaming in on the patio.

They enjoyed lots of wine, charcuterie plates and yummy entrees, while they mingled, shared stories & toasts, and danced the night away.
