Serendipitous Spring Shots
Considering soft pastels? (Yep, they’re back!) If soft pinks and dusty teals are in the palette, springtime in Tahoe will give you the wedding backdrop of your dreams. And you’ll find more than just beautiful blossoms for the background. Lake Tahoe’s unique climate this time of year creates incredibly colorful evening skies, allowing for some of the sweetest wide-angle shots out there.

Sweet Summer Snaps
In summertime, it’s all about light variety. Lake Tahoe’s elevation and mountain shadows offer up a variety of wedding backgrounds unlike any other season. Capture everything from bright colorful group shots on the beach to shadowy forest shots with a sentimental feel. Plus, thanks to long summer days, there’s plenty of time to catch the exact lighting you’re looking for.

Fantastically Fun Fall Pics
Two words: aspen leaves. And lots of them. Incorporating these natural props in your wedding backdrop makes great pictures a guarantee. That’s especially true if you’re imagining your wedding party dressed in leafy colors like bronze, deep purple, and orange. And, if you’re thinking about a rustic ceremony, nothing will beat a fall backdrop.

Can’t Lose with a Winter Wonderland
Snow offers an incredibly versatile wedding backdrop. First, you’ve got the dramatic romance of winter black and whites. Then, capture the same scene in color, and you’ve got a photo full of festive fun. What’s really great about the snowy South Tahoe backdrop is that any color palette is guaranteed to pop. That means, as far as colors go, there are no limitations.
