Hello, I’m TJ! I specialize in turning life’s most beautiful moments into lasting memories with my Lake Tahoe wedding photography services. Whether your dream is an intimate lakeside celebration at Sand Harbor, a mountain-top ceremony at Heavenly Mountain Resort, or a cozy elopement surrounded by the natural splendor of Emerald Bay, I’m here to bring your vision to life. Lake Tahoe is a treasure trove of breathtaking backdrops, from its sparkling blue waters to the majestic pines and snow-capped peaks that surround it. As a local wedding photographer, I have a deep appreciation for what makes this area so magical, and I’m skilled at finding the perfect locations to showcase your unique connection. From capturing golden hour portraits at Zephyr Cove to romantic candids along the serene trails of Fallen Leaf Lake, I’ll make sure your love story is told in the most authentic and creative way possible.
From your engagement session to your wedding day, I’ll partner with you every step of the way to ensure every important moment is beautifully captured. I believe that photography is about more than just taking pictures—it’s about preserving the emotions and joy that make your day unforgettable. My approach is rooted in storytelling, combining candid moments with stunning portraits that reflect the true essence of your relationship.

Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, my goal is to deliver timeless, heartfelt images that you’ll treasure forever.
One of the things I love most about being a wedding photographer in Lake Tahoe is the opportunity to work with couples in some of the most iconic locations in the world. Imagine exchanging vows with the sparkling waters of Kiva Beach with Mt. Tallac peak behind you or having your first look on the cliffs of Emerald Bay as the sun rises. These moments, paired with Tahoe’s natural beauty, create photos that are as unique as your love story. It would be my honor to capture your special day in one of the most breathtaking places on Earth. No matter what picturesque spot in Lake Tahoe your heart is set on, I’ll work closely with you to make sure every detail is captured perfectly.
