I love photographing an engagement session. Photographing the relationship between 2 people is so sweet and special. Engagement sessions tend to be a little more laid back than the wedding day because we aren’t rushed for time. Plus, my favorite thing is to learn how two people met, how they got engaged, and how the wedding planning is coming along. I found out that these two became engaged in Japan. During the cherry blossom festival. On a clear day with Mt. Fuji in the distance. So romantic! Can’t wait to see these two again in a couple months!
I loved getting to photograph in downtown Reno for Haakon and Stephanie’s wedding. So often, I’m photographing at Lake Tahoe or a golf course. It was a nice change to photograph in an urban environment for their wedding at First United Methodist and reception at the new Renaissance Hotel in downtown Reno.
Haakon and Stephanie were just a joy to photograph. Their day was a celebration of their family officially coming together and becoming one. Their story is such a neat one. These two had gone on a date and then afterwards ran into each other at their kids school. Haakon jokes that he thought Stephanie was stocking him, but as it turns out their two boys were good friends at school. Their daughters were the same age as well and although they have very different personalities, got along well too! How fun it must be to have your friend become your brother or sister! Congratulations to you all! I had such a great time photographing your BIG day!
We started the day off with Haakon getting ready at Derby Supply Company. He was joined by the boys and his father and soon to be father-in-law . . .
Stephanie got ready just a few blocks away at the Renaissance Hotel right on the Truckee River in downtown Reno . . .
The girls helped her get ready. It was the sweetest thing!
Haakon and Stephanie wanted to do a First Sight at the Believe sign in downtown Reno next to the river . . .
We took pictures at a few different places on the way to the church downtown . . .
. . . but we also made sure to duck into a place indoors to take a few because it was so hot outside! These were taken inside the old Post Office downtown.
I really LOVED the flowers from Bumblebee Blooms. They were so unique!
After a few portraits, it was time for the ceremony at First United Methodist church.
After the ceremony, everyone headed back to the Renaissance Hotel for the reception. The hotel has so many great indoor spots to take pictures. I could have photographed there for hours! Here are a few of my favorite spots where we took pictures of Haakon and Stephanie after the wedding . . .

In early June, I had the pleasure of photographing Will and Denielle’s wedding at Genoa Lakes Golf Club. I had such a fun time – they were a great group that made me laugh and were just a joy to photograph! Here are a few favorite images from their wedding at Genoa Lakes Golf Club . . .
A few of important details from the day . . .
Denielle’s dress from Swoon was simply amazing!
Instead of the normal dressing room, I had Denielle get ready in the bathroom because the light was so pretty!
That moment when everything comes together and you take a look in the mirror on your wedding day . . .
Isn’t this dress amazing?!
After getting ready, we took a few quick photos prior to the ceremony at Genoa Lakes . . .
Will is from Hawaii and wore a lei instead of a boutonniere . . .
How adorable are Will and Denielle’s boys? I loved the sparkly bow ties!
These reactions are priceless when they were pronounced Husband and Wife!
After the ceremony, we went to a couple different spots to take pictures around Genoa Lakes Golf Club . . .
All kinds of cupcakes were available from Mix Cupcake Company . . .
First dances at Genoa Lakes Golf Club . . .
. . . followed by a few toasts.
Then the party started! This was such a fun group. Everyone was on the dance floor!
This garter was highly sought after! Will put money in it to make the garter toss a little more interesting . . .

This winter and spring has been one for the record books. We have had so much snow that at one point, Mt. Rose had more snow pack than any other mountain in all of North America! This has made taking pictures up at Lake Tahoe a little difficult because of the massive amount of snow as well as road closures. However, after two failed attempts, we finally got a nice weekend to take engagement pictures at Sand Harbor with pictures along the beach AND in the snow. Snow that was manageable and not up to our waist! Excited to share engagement photos of Tim and Becka. I loved that we were able to take pictures with and without snow and had the best of both worlds wrapped up in one photo shoot!
We started out along the shore at Lake Tahoe. I loved what these two chose to wear, especially Becka’s shirt!
Their two dogs joined us for pictures as well!
After some pictures with the backdrop of Lake Tahoe. We ventured into a wooded area with snow on the ground. I love that Becka chose a red dress to wear. It really popped against the green trees and snow!
Congratulations on your engagement Tim and Becka! Can’t wait to photograph you again in September!
foward to a friend
