      Stephen and Amanda
      The Chateau at Incline Village
      Lake Tahoe, Nevada
      April 18, 2010

      Amanda and Stephen got married Sunday in breathtakingly beautiful Incline Village, Nevada. I loved their engagement session so much that I knew their wedding would be fantastic, but I had no idea just how laid-back and adventurous they would be! They were even willing to hop around on lakeside rocks when I suggested it, which gave them an opportunity to have pictures like this one. I had so much fun photographing them by the lake that I was downright giddy.

      Thank you, Amanda and Stephen, for bringing Mike and me to your wonderful wedding. We loved it!

      Perfect balance and spectacular scenery in first shot. Memorable. All lovely.

      the rock photos are killer!

      Lovely!

      What lenses did you use to take the first and last shots?

      This first pic looks like they are miniatures on a cake. Those boulders are huge.

      Tahoe is so nice. I hope you took more water, rock, mountain photos.

      You always do excellent work.
