Some people just win the genetic lottery and Tori and Zack are two of those people. If they plan on having kids can you imagine the gorgeous brunette babies that they will make? All joking aside, I have to mention that not only are they good looking but they are also great people. It's a rare day that you meet a man as polite and as courteous as Zack and Tori gives you the real down to earth genuine hugs that I love so much. I had a blast working with them on their wedding day and getting to know their family and friends. A shout-out to my talented associate Anita Martin for shooting with me and providing so many wonderful images to their gallery. The Edgewood Tahoe is a stunning venue and it was a joy to be able to shoot there again. Lake Tahoe makes for a perfect, romantic back drop and the weather could not have been more perfect. A light breeze washed over the water and the sun dipped below the mountain giving us gorgeous light during their sunset portraits.

Lots of laughs. A few tears. Good people. Good times. Congratulations, you two!

Kelly and Patrick got married on a beautiful July afternoon at the always stunning Edgewood Lake Tahoe. I have been anxiously awaiting this wedding for over a year. Why? After meeting Kelly and Pat at their engagement session, I knew that I would have a wonderful time not only photographing their event, but simply being around them. We share a couple of friends and everyone made me feel more like a guest than the photographer. The girls got ready at the Embassy Suites on South Lake Tahoe Blvd and the guys got ready right next door at one of the "H" hotels...Harvey's? Harrah's? Horizon? I always get them confused! I think it was Harrah's. haha. After the guys were transported to the venue, the girls climbed in the limo bus, toasted to Kelly & Pat's big day, and so the wedding began! As Kelly walked down the aisle, Patrick's expression said it all. Overlooking the blue water of Lake Tahoe, Kelly and Pat became Mr. & Mrs. Rhodes in front of their family and friends. The perfect wedding.

Thank you both for including me in your special day. It was one that I will never forget!

....little boys, I tell you! :)

I thought this was a fantastic way to serve beer! The bartender always kept a handful of glasses ready for guests to walk up and grab. It's the small things that excite me ;)
