Bride Groom at The Hyatt Lake Tahoe Incline Village Nevada Summer Lakeside wedding

Lake Tahoe Lakefront Wedding | The Hyatt

Hanna and Connor’s wedding at the Hyatt at Lake Tahoe was one of those summer days that felt straight out of a dream. The pastel color palette, soft lake breeze, and the calm of the water behind their ceremony created such a peaceful, romantic atmosphere.

After their first look, they exchanged gifts and it such a sweet and emotional moment. Connor surprised Hanna with a beautiful bracelet she had lost before, and she gifted him an Apple Watch and a box of cigars. It was such a genuine reflection of who they are.

The celebration moved into the ballroom for the reception, which opened right up to the patio overlooking the lake. Each table centerpiece felt like its own little canopy of florals and greenery, and as the candles were lit, the whole room glowed in the most dreamy way! Tahoe showed off with the prettiest cotton candy sunset skies for their portraits and it couldn’t have been more perfect!

The evening flowed into dancing under the stars, surrounded by loved ones who had flown in from all over the world. Hanna and Connor are truly the kind of people who make you feel like family, and by the end of the night, it felt like I had known everyone there for years. It was such a joy to be part of their beautiful day! Here’s a glimpse into their incredible celebration! 🤍

BROWSE THROUGH MY

If you are seeking artful nostalgic documentary style imagery inspired by connection. I photograph your day as it naturally unfolds, focusing on real moments and creating timeless, artistic images. Rather than directing or staging, I prefer to observe and capture events as they happen. Building a personal connection with you and your wedding is key to bringing out my best work. My style is shaped by you, your story, and the energy we share. I strive to create memories, not just pretty pictures, by capturing both posed and candid moments in their truest form. It's those small, meaningful moments that will stay with you forever, and the value of your photographs will only grow with time. These images will be passed down through generations. The packages I offer can be customized to fit your vision, as I understand that every wedding is unique. That's what I love about weddings—their individuality and the way they’re extraordinary for each couple.

"Katherine was amazing! She coordinated with my finance and family for months planning the perfect Tahoe proposal followed by engagement photos. The entire session I felt so comfortable! We laughed, got a little misty, and took some amazing photos. Katherine helps pose you, knows the best areas to get beautiful backdrops, and is genuinely just a nice easy going person! I would 1000% times over use her for photos in the Reno-Tahoe area and anywhere she would be willing to photograph!"

We highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for an amazing documentary photographer—her talent and approach are simply unmatched!"

Aura captured the wonders of our day. Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the. 

"felt surrounded the allure
of grace every single second."
