A Modern and Timeless Wedding Caught in a Summer Storm at Chalet View Lodge

Feb 9

Melanie & Caylee's wedding day at Lake Tahoe's Chalet View Lodge was truly unforgettable. From the moment they walked down the flower-filled aisle amidst the towering pines, a magical and summery atmosphere surrounded them. Nature's beauty was in full display during the ceremony and cocktail hour.

But then, something unexpected happened. Just as the ceremony was about to start, the sky darkened, thunder roared, and a torrential downpour began. It was the loudest thunderstorm we had ever heard, and the rain seemed never-ending. However, Melanie and Caylee were prepared. They had ordered over 200 clear umbrellas, and each guest was handed one to shield themselves from the rain. This unforeseen development only added to the uniqueness and charm of their wedding day.

Through the rain, we captured incredible moments and emotions that will forever be cherished. The images tell a story of love, laughter, and resilience in the face of unexpected challenges. Melanie and Caylee's wedding day was a testament to their love and the strong bonds they share with their loved ones.

As the day turned into evening, the atmosphere shifted. The reception took on an elegant and glamorous vibe, with black and gold accents adorning the dinner and dance area. The rain had ceased by then, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the festivities. Dancing was a highlight, as Melanie and Caylee twirled and laughed with their friends and family.

We are truly honored to have been a part of Melanie and Caylee's wedding day. We are excited to capture their love and joy as they exchange vows and become Mrs. & Mrs. Heller. We look forward to preserving their memories, so they can hold onto them forever. Their day was also featured here.
