Schaffer's Camp Wedding & Events Venue - Northstar California

Looking to get married in the mountains? Tahoe Mountain Club in Truckee, CA has four amazing venues, each showing off the beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Imagine getting married or celebrating that once in a lifetime event at an elevation that makes you feel like you are on top of the world.

Schaffer's Camp is located at 7,900 feet in elevation atop the west ridgeline of Northstar California. To get up to the top, your guests have the pleasure of riding a gondola full of breathtaking views. This amazing venue has 6,000 feet of deck that has the most amazing views of the Truckee River Valley. Inside the mountain-style lodge, there are multiple lounge areas and fireplaces to keep warm during the winter months. The expansive windows keep you in awe all night long. Plus there is a full bar and kitchen!

Schaffer's Camp is perfect for a rustic mountain wedding or intimate corporate event. I am so excited to feature this venue on my blog. Big thanks to Dana Brooks, the Special Events Coordinator with Tahoe Mountain Club, for having me photograph this gorgeous establishment.

Reno, NV Engagement Photography - John & Katie's Tannenbaum Engagement

When these two contacted me about photographing their wedding, I was so excited to hear what venue they had chosen. Tannenbaum an Alpine Events Center is located on Mt. Rose hwy in the mountains. I have made the drive from Reno to Lake Tahoe many times, and as I drive past the venue I often would wonder when the opportunity to photograph at this rustic mountain venue would come. Now it has!

Because John & Katie absolutely love the feel of their venue, they knew they wanted to take their engagement photos there as well. Plus, this would give me the chance to poke around. Although we didn't get to go inside I was able to see how beautiful the setting is. I am so excited to share John & Katie's engagement session. Congratulations you two and I am so excited to capture this amazing time in your life.
