I didn’t think it was possible to experience all four seasons in a single June wedding but, as always, Tahoe keeps us on our toes. Allison and Danny were total rockstars. Even when the weather threw us a curveball (yes, there was a moment of panic), they stayed grounded, trusted the process, and turned it into something unforgettable. Cheers to these two for finding each other and inviting us to document something so unforgettable!

The rare June storm made everything feel a little more cinematic. From umbrellas on the dock to a boat ride under soft drizzle.

Gar Woods is known for its gorgeous lakefront views and relaxed, elevated vibe. The ceremony took place outdoors, framed by the lake and distant mountains, while the reception moved indoors with cozy lighting, cocktails flowing, and the dance floor absolutely packed.

One of the most iconic (and unexpected) highlights of the day? The life-sized wedding cake made to look exactly like their dog. Yes People Magazine even picked it up and ran a feature on it. You can read the article and see a photo here, we all still laugh at Boo getting her 10 seconds of fame. Easily the most random feature ever.
