Miran & Megan's Lake Tahoe Destination Engagement Session

Miran and Megan live in the Sacramento area, and I live in Reno, so when choosing a location for our engagement photo session we had a world of options. Initially, we considered Grass Valley because it is pretty much in the middle, but after a few of days of thinking about it, I could not get over the idea of having them come to me. One of the many perks to living in this area is that we are only a hop, skip and a jump from one of the most amazing natural jewels in the world: Lake Tahoe. Nestled within the Sierra Nevada Mountains, this area is a truly breathtaking destination for engagement and wedding photography.

Miran and Megan made the drive later in the day so we could take advantage of the late-afternoon sun and, eventually, the sunset. A few miles up highway 267, which connects the town of Truckee to Lake Tahoe, stands the remnants of an old cabin that has been there since long before I was a child. This is always a great location for a photo shoot because it lies within a small aspen grove, which is in the middle of a pristine meadow. The soft, moody light pouring through the trees made for a wonderfully romantic engagement session. After the cabin, we made our way to the lake. It was busy, as is normal for a summer Saturday, so we decided to hit one of my new favorite beaches located right at the California-Nevada state line. The beach was crowded, but we were able to secure a spot on a fantastic rock outcropping and ended the shoot taking some final photos playing in the sand.

I am so happy with how all these images came out. Miran and Megan show so much love in their photos, you can just about see the butterflies in Megan's tummy as Miran leans in for a kiss. Thank you both for making the trip to Tahoe for your engagement photos and I am beyond excited for you wedding day!
