Growing up, Angela's family spent time every summer at Sugar Pine Point State Park, on the west shore of Lake Tahoe, and Angela and Paul have continued the tradition together. Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite places in California, so when they suggested having their engagement shoot on the lake, I was all for it!
We started the morning off at the park, which has a pier into the lake that I am positively obsessed with. The dark wood reaching into the blue expanse of the waters and an adorable couple in love to boot... Love!
When we originally planned the shoot, we were envisioning mild, sunny weather and green grass. The reality was three feet of snow a few days before the shoot, and a drive up to the lake through a small snowstorm! However, entirely undeterred by the chilly temperatures and patches of snow, Paul donned shorts and Angela changed into breezy linen pants for some photos on the beach. We thought warm thoughts, and found a little slice of summer waiting for us along the sand.
Another quick change later, and we were headed into Truckee to finish the shoot with a little different look. There's something about the casualness in this one that I just love.
While touring the downtown area, we came across the Truckee Railroad Museum, which happens to be housed in an actual Southern Pacific railroad car, and it was the perfect backdrop for some of my favorite shots of the day!
Angela and Paul, it was so wonderful dodging snow and spending time with you in such a gorgeous place! You two are so adorable together, and I simply can't wait for your Big Day!
Fun!!! Thanks Erin for some fantastic pictures.
