Megan & Patrick you are a force.
Together you will build a magnificent life.
This power pack chose to celebrate their marriage at The Standford Sierra Camp on Fallen Leaf Lake in South Lake Tahoe. Patrick went to Standford so the ties to the camp meant a lot & Megan wanted a mountain wedding in the Fall - when she visited the grounds she said it was an easy yes.
What we admired the most about Megan & Patrick was they wanted their wedding to be a weekend where their family & friends were fully taken care of. The highest priority was to make the guests feel welcome & to not worry about anything. This meant food, beverage, entertainment & activities were all-inclusive- allowing the guests to sit back & enjoy themselves. Truly the most thoughtful & genuinely kind people.
The reception was indoors due to the 30-degree temps. Wine service began while each course was plated & served. The tablescape was simple & elegant.
Dinner followed with a choreographed dance that was the entire vibe of the evening - steamy romantic and so much fun! The chemistry between these two was so authentic.
( left us with goosebumps & watery eyes - pure joy!!)
Megan had a vision therefore supporting her with partial planning was the best fit. She wanted to have her hands in the details and to work closely with the vendors. The biggest asset to planning her own wedding was she was an incredible decision-maker & knew what she wanted.
This was a Fall wedding so deep emerald greens, fall colors and warm textiles complimented the natural landscape & scenic views.
The main focus above all the aesthetics was making sure the plans were thoughtful so the 180 guests felt important. There was not a shortage of gifts & personal touches for the wedding party. We are positive their love language is gift giving!
Although this was a black-tie affair, it was the opposite of stuffy & too formal. Patrick & Megan wanted the day to feel vibrant, fun & relaxed.
The ceremony took place on the shoreline bluffs of Fallen Leaf Lake, A post ceremony toasts followed with Family photos.
Cocktail hour was brought to life with a live jazz trio & a full bar right on the water.
There is no doubt you two will lead an incredible life together. You were made for each other. Congratulations!
What a wild & fun ride that was getting to know you. We are forever changed. Cheers!
Thank you to the creative professionals who helped bring this day to life. We love you!
