The COMPLETE wedding day of Courtney and Kevin in South Lake Tahoe!!!

I'm so excited to share one of our newest South Lake Tahoe weddings! We LOVE doing weddings up here! I decided to make this a COMPLETE wedding post, from getting ready to the flower toss at the end! I think when choosing a photographer, you should be able to see a couples complete wedding, not just the fancy bride and groom photos! 

This beautiful bride and handsome groom hail from Connecticut. Courtney and Kevin were one of my many destination weddings to Tahoe this year. We didn't even meet until the wedding day. Here is a sweet review she left for us on theknot:

 "From start to finish, Joy and her team exceeded my expectations! I planned my destination wedding from Connecticut and did not have the chance to meet Joy until the day of our ceremony. She was great at communicating with me through email and via the phone, better than any vendor I dealt with. When we finally met I knew I made the right choice-- her amazing personality and attention to detail helped my wedding day feel relaxed. Not to mention, she did a stunning job capturing every detail! I could not be happier with the pictures we have to remember our day."

I hope you enjoy this post! I will let the pictures speak for themselves!
Here are  the getting ready pictures!







In case you didn't catch it...Courtney is a twin!!!
 

Too too cute...

 We always try to do the family and wedding party ahead of the ceremony, even when a couple chooses not to see each other and do a first look. 

Here are the brides family pictures. The bride and groom had only one person each in their wedding party, their only siblings.







The brides parents and sister...










Courtney alone...







Because we include a second photographer with all weddings, the groom gets his getting ready captured too!
 





We did the grooms pictures alone and with his family done before the ceremony also...





The ceremony...




























Here are a few pictures of Courtney and Kevin on the beach...




We decided to stay down on the beach as they walked down the dock...


We love brides that will sit on a dock for us!!!










These are my favorite...



Moving over to the reception... the details...








Here are the introductions...and they went straight into their first dance...
