Celio Ranch Lake Tahoe Wedding || Kaitlyn & David

Kaitlyn & David decided to get married at Celio Ranch summer of 2024 in Lake Tahoe! Their wedding was so incredibly special. As I was driving up to the girls Airbnb for getting ready photos, it started sprinkling some rain onto my windshield. I INSTANTLY got SO excited, because rainy days are typically filled with some of the most emotion. Plus I knew my bride Kaitlyn wouldn’t care and would soak up every second of her stunning wedding day — rain or shine.

Kaitlyn got ready with all her favorite ladies!! They got their hair and makeup done, sang songs, had some drinks & truly just soaked in these special moments before the wedding – come check it out!

Then we headed to the venue and captured photos of the boys getting ready on property!! The venue has a few options for different spaces, where people can gather and get ready. The groomsmen were already dressed for the wedding, but they still wanted to remember this special time together! We hung-out, had them put their coats back on, etc.

David stood in the doorway of the building and watched as the rain fell, eager to see Kaitlyn soon at their ceremony.

Stunning Ceremony at Celio Ranch

Their ceremony was simple, modern, elegant, and timeless. Kaitlyn and David chose Celio Ranch because — “We chose Tahoe because it is my home town and the Celios were generous enough to let us get married on their BEAUTIFUL Ranch.” – Kaitlyn

Everyone lined up and opened their umbrellas and the ceremony began! When David and Kaitlyn saw each other for the first time… there are no words. They both were in tears and it was so beautiful to witness. Their ceremony was filled with so much Jesus, love from their family and loved ones, worship, communion, and the union of these two beautiful humans.

Right before they kissed and were officially married, the sun came out and you could see rainbows from the rain. God truly showed up for them as they got married in that moment, it was stunning.

5 Star Review for Bridgette Wuest Photography

“Bridgette is nothing short of AMAZING. I cannot begin to explain how much she blessed us on our wedding day. She was so easy and fun to work with. She was extremely professional and friendly. My husband doesn’t usually like taking pictures, but Bridgette made the picture taking process easy and FUN! We didn’t want to spend hours taking couple pictures on our wedding day, and she did an amazing job capturing so many amazing shots in a short time so we could celebrate with our closest friends. It also POURED on our wedding day and she STILL captured every moment. I didn’t know someone could capture so much emotion in pictures until Bridgette sent me the photos. 🥹 We cannot wait to work with her again, and we will recommend her to everyone we know. She is so worth it!! 🤍”
