Kate & Aaron ~ Northstar at Tahoe

Kate and Aaron’s wedding started on a most beautiful Lake Tahoe day. I left Pollock Pines for the fresh aired fall drive along the river and then around the east side of the lake to arrive at Northstar several hours early to check out shooting locations and make a plan for the day! I met Aaron in the Northstar Village. He claimed that he couldn’t smile on command, but I think the fact that two of his three sisters were there to make him laugh helped to remedy that. Kate got ready in a suite with all the other girls where they laughed about having an extra room just for the dress. She choose to wear the headpiece that her grandmother wore at her wedding and it was unique and lovely.  We made good use of the beautiful aspens and forest that surrounded the ceremony and reception site. Kate even made it up there in her heels! The entire night was created with fun in mind, from the dancing, to the coffee bar, to the s’mores by the campfire, everyone had a good time.  The food, flowers and decorations to tie the space into the outdoors were exquisite- not a detail was missed. I still think about that frozen lemon with sorbet inside as a middle of the meal palette cleanser- yowsa. Right after the ceremony, Aaron pulled Kate aside for a few minutes to connect and I loved getting to capture it (from a distance) and those first few moments of the two of them as newlyweds. Congratulations you two! I hope you are loving your adventures around Tanzania- definitely a bucket list item for this adventurer!
