Lake Tahoe Is a Picture Perfect Backdrop for a Black Tie Wedding

Combine classic style with an amazing, lakeside venue for one effortlessly beautiful wedding captured by Clane Gessel Photography. For the tented reception, the Bride chose to decorate with deep greens and whites, highlighting the natural beauty of the private estate. But our absolute favorite detail is the ceremony arch, which was covered in lush greenery and pretty white florals, framing the picturesque Lake Tahoe in the background.

From Clane Gessel PhotographyA twist on black tie, this traditional wedding took place in South Lake Tahoe at a private estate. The Bride chose neutral colors and lots of greenery to showcase the amazing outdoor venue. The Bridesmaids were all dressed in black, and the mother of the bride in green. The groom and groomsmen were dressed sharp, in black and white tuxes with delicate paisley gray ties.

The ceremony took place looking over beautiful Lake Tahoe under a stunning flower arch. The reception took place just outside the private estate, which was lightly decorated with elegant, white linens, gold rimmed glasses, greenery on every table, and big white centerpieces to top it all off. This brought a very elegant, clean touch of beauty to this lakeside wedding.

The couple met in high school and have stuck by each other’s side since day one. A mutual friend introduced them after Talia commented on Brock being pretty cute. The proposal was very intimate, just between the two of them in their living room on their eighth anniversary.
