We are
Lake Tahoe Wedding Photography
We are Lake Tahoe wedding photographers Scott and Monique Sady. We love telling the story of each unique Lake Tahoe wedding in an artistic, documentary, comfortable style. We are photojournalists and story tellers first and foremost. We understand there is no story more important to you than the story of your life.
Photography by Monique has photographed over 500 Lake Tahoe weddings since starting our business in 2002! New for 2022, we are now FAA licensed drone pilots and also offer a combo video/photo package.
Sneak peek from Monique and Jonathan’s wedding at the HideOut near Kirkwood, California. It was a celebration of love and two cultures, Lebanese and Jewish, coming together with a few traditions from each culture taking place through out the day.

Patty and Peter … what a fun, genuine couple! Beginning of summer at Palisades with a lush green meadow and the tram face as their backdrop, couldn’t get a better view for a Tahoe mountain wedding!

Happy 10 year anniversary to Sarah and Daniel! One of our all time favorite weddings at the historic Thunderbird Lodge at Lake Tahoe. Working alongside @blueskyeventstahoe has always made our job so easy and smooth.
Congrats on 10 years, cheers to many more!

Right as the sun was setting yesterday in South Lake Tahoe, Damon got down on one knee and proposed to Tammy, and she was truly surprised! I love capturing these special moments!
Planning a surprise proposal at Lake Tahoe? We can help!

Taylor and Petr enjoyed a day on the mountain with family and friends on Friday. They were hoping for a little fresh snow for their wedding, and they got their wish! More to come from this fun wedding weekend at Palisades Tahoe!

I had a great time meeting a lot of nice couples at the @park_home_ranch_venue beautiful barn wedding venue in Minden last weekend. Plus, I got to show off our new @blacksmithprintco sample album and people were of course so impressed with the impeccable quality of this album!
I set up a little booth at the wedding fair today at the gorgeous @park_home_ranch_venue in Minden. This venue is amazing and we hope to book a few weddings here next year!
It was fun catching up with some of my favorite vendor friends, @jasonchesebroughfilms and @envyeventmanagementnv … AND swipe to the last image, I got to reconnect with a couple, Renee and Tom, whose wedding I photographed in Reno 16 years ago! They now run the super adorable vintage camper Photo Booth @blushcamperco
If you are looking for a gorgeous property with a huge historic barn and grand Mountain views as the backdrop, check this venue out!

A big happy anniversary to Kat and Tyler! I just did a blog post on their gorgeous wine country wedding at Tre Posti. Check it out, link in bio!

A HUGE shout out and so many thanks to Brady, owner of @blacksmithprintco , for helping us get our last album of 2024 done for our sweet, incredibly patient couple who has been waiting since October. As many of you know, Finao albums abruptly went out of business right after Christmas! During my last phone exchange with Finao at the beginning of December, they assured me that our couple would get their album before Christmas with upgraded overnight shipping … and then, when I tried to follow up with them through out the rest of December, they never responded to my multiple emails and calls again!
Enter Brady and Blacksmith Print Co!
Thanks to our Fearless Photographers community, he graciously offered to complete this album as if we were one of his valued clients.
Every step of the process was so easy and we had a personal zoom meeting to complete the order.
We asked our couple to take a few photos and a short video of the album so we could share it here. They love it, and thanks again Sondra and Micah for your patience!

Scott met up with this sweet family the other day on a very cold afternoon in the forest for some quick family photos …. With families with kids and grandparents, it’s important to do all the combinations … everyone together, each family, and of course everyone wants a shot with the adorable kid!… and when there is snow on the ground, hey, we love to get them playing in the snow a little bit too!

Jumping in to the New Year …. Just like Kadee and Dan did on their wedding day in the mountains near Bend, Oregon!
We are still on a bit of a holiday break as far as new sessions, but we are starting to get more inquiries for the upcoming wedding season.
Are you an adventurous couple who loves the mountains and would like to have a documentary style team capture your wedding day?
Reach out if you are still planning a wedding in Tahoe, Truckee, or beyond!

This was a dream high school senior session … we met up with Andie, her mom and her two horses at the beach on a foggy fall afternoon in the Monterey Bay. Andie is a sweet heart, and her horses were great to work with, well behaved and seemed to also be enjoying the experience! Congrats Andie, class of 2025!

My last wedding of the season took me on a road trip south to Solvang for Kristin and Russell’s beach ceremony and backyard reception. It was a gorgeous day with amazing people.
Thanks to all of our 2024 couples for trusting us to document your special day.
We are looking forward to what next year’s wedding season brings!

Kristin and Russell, the vertical sneak peeks! Our last wedding of the season brought me, Monique, to the Solvang area for Krisitn and Russell’s intimate beach ceremony and reception at their hilltop back yard. More to come tomorrow.

Last wedding of the season! I have been in Solvang for the weekend, all dressed up and ready to rock this day … Just waiting for the bride, who is running 45 minutes late, lol!
A bit late on this 10 year anniversary shout out, but better late than never! One of our all time favorite weddings at The HideOut with Melissa and Casey! Cheers to you both!

Congrats to Nicole and Marco! They had been planning a big wedding in Tennessee until Hurricane Helene forced them to pivot and within a few weeks, they had planned the perfect Lake Tahoe micro wedding with their family. It was a beautiful fall afternoon in Rubicon Bay.

Happy 12 years to Sheri and Nick! They had a micro wedding way back before micro weddings were a thing! After their late afternoon ceremony with their family on a beach right outside of their rental house, we were able to go to 2 other locations for portraits that incorporated fall colors and some classic boulders along the shore of Lake Tahoe.
Are you planning a Tahoe elopement? We can help you plan choose the perfect spots to visit for portraits. Send us a DM if interested!

Happy Anniversary to Maren and Perry! Their wedding was located on a working ranch in the hills along the central California coast.
I am heading back down to that area in a few weeks for my last wedding of the season!
High school senior session for Alexander … he braved the chilly Lake Tahoe water to wade out to an island of boulders for some of these images! 👏👏👏 our kind of client … who else wants to get out there in the water?!

Sneak peek from Alex’s high school senior session the other morning at Zephyr Cove.
I wanted to post this as a stand alone because it is so rad when we have clients who want to get in the lake, it makes me so happy and stoked to capture the adventure of it! We love working with people with an adventurous spirit, willing to strip down to their undies to wade out to the granite boulder island for some portraits.
He said the cold water was energizing, and really, it was only about knee deep.
More from this session to come, but wanted to post this as a stand alone first!
(Permission to post given by both his mom and him)
