Colorful Wedding at High Camp, Palisades Ski Resort, Lake Tahoe

Real Weddings

Aug 6

Amy and Yann’s wedding at High Camp in Palisades Tahoe began in a way that already held meaning.

They met on a ski trip—one organized by their friend Autumn, who would later stand with them again, this time as their officiant.

It set the tone for the day. Personal, familiar, and grounded in relationships that had already shaped their story.

Their approach to the day moved away from tradition, but not without intention.

A palette of soft pastels—blue, pink, yellow, coral, and green, brought a sense of lightness and movement into the setting. The colors reflected who they are: open, expressive, and quietly playful.

Nothing felt overly styled. The color existed within the landscape, not separate from it.

A Personal Ceremony Moment: The “Uncle-ing” Tradition

One of the most meaningful moments of the day came in a way that couldn’t be replicated.

Amy’s niece and nephews held an “uncle-ing” ceremony, knighting Yann as their official uncle.

It was simple, personal, and entirely their own.

Moments like this don’t follow a template. They stay because of how they’re felt.

The setting carried much of the experience.

From the ceremony to the reception, the surrounding mountains and lake remained in view—never overpowering, but always there.

The atmosphere felt expansive, yet grounded. A balance that’s difficult to create, but natural to this place.
