About their wedding day:
Chelsea and John chose to have their wedding in Lake Tahoe, California just a short drive from Reno where they relocated to recently from the Pacific Northwest. Their venue offered beautiful grounds with ample amount of space for getting ready on the property. They had a serene ceremony with their closest family and friends under the redwoods and some intimate moments along the river near the property. There were so many intimate nooks at this location. It offered a beautiful outdoor space and intimacy with a mix of convenience and accessibility that venues can offer. I love when couples take time for just the two of them to really soak in everything their wedding day experience has to offer. After heading back to their reception and enjoying a meal with their family and friends, Chelsea and John had an epic party under the stars with dancing, drinks and dessert! It was such an honor as a Seattle intimate wedding photographer to travel to their California Lake Tahoe destination wedding. Their wedding day could not have been more stunning. 

About their destination wedding location: 

Megan Montalvo Photography is a Destination Wedding Photographer who loves to travel to California for weddings and elopements! The Twenty Mile House outside of Lake Tahoe, was the most AMAZING venue and the perfect backdrop for Chelsie + John's wedding day. Besides the Twenty Mile House, Lake Tahoe and other areas of California offer many scenic backdrops perfect for intimate elopements and weddings or a day after adventure session. From Big Sur to Joshua Tree and Yosemite, California is a wonderland for adventure elopements and just a quick flight from Seattle! If the west coast isn’t on your elopement list, I would highly recommend it!
