When you Google, “Adventurous Couple,” a photo of Ryan and Lisa should immediately pop up.  These two are some of the most active, fun loving couples I’ve ever had the opportunity of photographing.

Ryan served his country as a Marine – Lisa spend time saving lives and keeping swimmers safe poolside. Together, they work in the field of Special Education and are active with the local non-profit organization, Unravel Pediatric Cancer. They love to hike and be outside, taking day trips, weekend trips and vacations all around. With all of the adventure in their life already, marriage will undoubtedly be another great adventure for these two – but this one will last a lifetime.

Ryan and Lisa opted for a stunning North Lake Tahoe wedding at The Chateau at Incline Village. Family and friends traveled to the breathtaking city for their destination wedding. The ceremony was officiated by a long time friend and over looked the lake and surrounding mountains. The reception took place indoors and across the large balcony. Guests were able to view the amazing sunset, sip on drinks and play lawn games. Upon entering their reception, Ryan and Lisa went directly into their first dance which was sung by Lisa’s Aunt. I absolutely love it when couples not only make their first dance personal, but schedule it directly following their grand entrance. Everyone already had all eyes on them and were up on their feet – the transition was seamless! Shortly after dinner was served and the dance floor opened.  Playing an eclectic mix of music, everyone found something to dance to.

During the reception, Ryan and Lisa wanted to head down to the shore for sunset. We raced down to the beach and caught the tail end of the sunset – and it was epic.  A must do for any Lake Tahoe wedding!!

Enjoy –
