Bright and Joyful Wedding at Nakoma Resort in Graeagle, Lake Tahoe

After seven years together, their day didn’t feel rushed or overbuilt. It felt settled. Intentional.
A Soft and Colorful Wedding Palette at Nakoma Resort
Their color palette reflected that same balance—light, layered, and quietly expressive.
White, cream, dusty rose, and sage formed the foundation, with subtle touches of light orange and yellow bringing warmth into the day.
Nothing felt overly styled. The colors worked with the setting, not against it.
Including Your Dog in Your Wedding: A Personal Detail
Bogey, their Golden Retriever, is a central part of their lives—and naturally, part of the day itself.
Including him wasn’t a feature. It was simply a reflection of who they are.
These moments—unplanned, familiar, and close—often become the ones that hold the most weight over time.
Honoring Family Through Meaningful Wedding Details
Some details carry more than aesthetic value.
Their wedding cake was made by Kaitlin’s maid of honor, using Scott’s grandmother’s carrot cake recipe—a way of honoring her memory within the day.
It wasn’t about presentation. It was about continuity—bringing someone into the day in a way that felt quiet, but lasting.
