Wedding Bridals in Incline Village

After the ceremony and family photos, we headed to Incline Village in North Lake Tahoe to take bridals of these two!! We originally wanted to shoot at another beach, but due to complications & a mix up, we went with plan B instead. It was even more stunning than we could have imagined!!!

Larissa’s mom also surprised her with a personal driver, so he drove us to the beach and back to their reception afterwards. This was incredible because typically you have to walk a ways to access this beach, so we were able to save so much time this way!

We explored on the beach and on the rocks, soaked up the warm sun on our skin, and admired the crystal clear blue water below. It was so much fun getting to capture these two in Incline after they got married at Saint Francis of Assisi!!

Wedding Reception at Gar Woods

Then we headed to Gar Woods to capture their reception! They only wanted a little bit of their reception captured, and truly just wanted to go party haha. Gar Woods is an incredible place for wedding rehearsals, wedding receptions, and even wedding ceremonies!! There’s an entire floor upstairs that’s separate from the main restaurant, that has a balcony overlooking the lake. It’s so stunning!! It was only about 20 minutes from the Saint Francis of Assisi, making it super easy for guests to access afterwards. Come check it out!!
