When I ask them what made them decide to pick Lake Tahoe to elope, Lisa said, “We love freshwater lakes and spend most of our weekends camping by them and boating on them!” SOOO of course a California Elopement in Lake Tahoe is perfect for them! L&A are from Australia and include their wedding in Lake Tahoe as part of an 8 week vacay! From a sunrise hike, a secluded spot to say their vows, a walk to a secret beach and morning boating to cap it all off, this day couldn’t have been any more of an ADVENTURE!

Step 1 to an epic adventure elopement: sunrise hike

My favorite part of the planning is when I can help my couple with their location matchmaking aaaaand this was the PERFECT spot for a sunrise with a view! We literally laugh every step of the way! The sun rises over the mountains in pinks, oranges, and blues! They change into their wedding attire up at the top! After their first look, they read their vows to each other on top of the hill with the mountains and lake in the distance! I mean, can you EVEN imagine a better way to celebrate your wedding?! Louder for the mountain people in the back!!

These two chose a California Elopement in Lake Tahoe for the relaxation, secluded sunrise hike, and the boating!

We hike down to a secret beach for some more exploring! Lisa & Adam love hanging out together, and it’s so fun being a part of it! It feels like we’re on a double date by the time we reach the beach! We put the drone up for some epic photos and video because… DUH you HAVE to capture that epic blue water of Lake Tahoe!

One of the many challenges that eloping couples face is deciding where they want to make it happen! We believe that couples should elope to a place that really feels authentic and most beautiful to them, not what instagram, google, or your own friends say you should go. There’s just something that hits different about Lake Tahoe wedding pictures! When asked why they chose their elopement location, they said:

“We love spending time together on the water/lakes/dams, we got engaged on our boat on a dam and it would be nice to be able to be on the water together on the day we elope, doing something we love doing.”

Girrrrrrl your wish is our command! We recommend Tahoe Waves Boat Rental to them so they could rent a boat exactly like the one they have at home. The custom vendor list is a must-have! They’re big wakesurfers and wake boarders, so of course a boating day is a perfect way to spend their wedding day! 

We end the day on the water and it couldn’t be more perfect! We know the best Lake Tahoe wedding spots, so if you’re interested in a wedding day that’s done YOUR WAY, reach out today!
