rustic, elegant lakeside wedding {Lindsay & Diego} west shore cafe & inn, homewood, tahoe, ca

When West Shore Cafe & Inn serves as your wedding venue, you can be sure that the setting is gorgeous and the food is delicious. Lindsay and Diego's wedding was the perfect setting for the lakeside early fall wedding. Diego has a passion for boating so having the wedding set on water was very important to Lindsay and Diego.  There were many highlights of the day but one that particularly stands out is sneaking off with the Lindsay and Diego for a twilight cruise on the Wild Goose II. The peaceful stroll over the lake was extremely romantic and offered the couple a time to reflect.  Lindsay and Diego, What a dream day! From every detail, the day couldn't have been more perfectly scripted.  Enjoy! xoxo, Stacey

vintage, modern wedding {Danica & Rich) west shore cafe & inn, homewood, tahoe ca

When Danica and Rich contacted me to photograph their wedding at West Shore Cafe & Inn in Tahoe, I couldn't have been more excited. West Shore Cafe & Inn is one of my favorite, if not my favorite venue, to photograph weddings in Tahoe.  Nestled on the rocky shore of the lake, the setting couldn't be more beautiful, a perfect compliment to Danica and Rich. Danica radiated in her lace dress and swept back hair secured with a vintage brooch. And when Rich saw Danica for the first time he couldn't stop smiling and kissing her--so smitten.  His gift to her was so sweet, too--a locket engraved with words from their song. Danica and Rich, thank you for giving me the opportunity to photograph your story book day. And WOW! What a sunset! So fun to sneak off with you two to capture those photos. Enjoy! xoxo, Stacey

Danica bought each of her bridesmaids a vintage brooch for their bouquets.
