Lake Tahoe and River Ranch Wedding for Megan and Stan

by Scott

Megan and Stanley got married at Megan’s mother’s house near Tahoe City at Lake Tahoe. It was a small, relaxed morning ceremony with about 50 close friends and family. Megan and her girls did all the decorations and flowers themselves and did an amazing job of it. The bride was beautiful and got married barefoot just like she always wanted to. The reception was held in the afternoon at the River Ranch along the Truckee River near Alpine Meadows.

Stanley and Megan had a small group for their wedding, so we used the reflective pond where the Truckee River should have been to make a group portrait of all the guests.
