Here are a few more from Robb and Meghan’s incredible wedding at Meeks Bay, on the west side of Lake Tahoe. It was as colorful a wedding as you’ll find, with Tahoe’s azure water below and the crimson sunset on Heavenly Valley, directly across the lake.
Check back in soon for more. Josh shot a wedding in Seattle last weekend and we’ve got a wedding (or two…) scheduled for October near Napa so there’s a lot of wedding season left for Minaret Photography.

We had a great time shooting Meghan and Robb’s wedding at Meeks Bay, Lake Tahoe. Bright blue water, white sand, warm weather and beautiful mountains make Tahoe such a beautiful place to spend some time celebrating with friends. We were honored to be a part of Meghan and Robb’s celebration. They were so great to shoot photos of, jumping from rock to rock in their wedding attire, willing to go the extra bit to get some great photos. Meghan’s cruiser bicycle was a fun and fitting prop to use too.

Here are a few more photographs from Kyle and Amanda’s beautiful wedding at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno. We had a great time with them and can’t wait to do their post wedding portraits.

Love these and I can’t wait to see more of Kyle & Amanda’s special day!
Here is the first set of images from Kyle and Amanda’s wedding last weekend at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno.
The wedding party was fantastic, the venue was a photographer’s dream, and the weather could not have been better.
The Nevada Museum of Art is absolutely an up-and-coming wedding locale in Reno. The deck, which overlooks Reno’s verdant southwestern quadrant and snow-capped Mt. Rose, is as scenic a wedding spot as you’ll find in Reno. The color, lines and sculpture around the interior of the building are easy access to an amazing aesthetic. And the ground-level exterior speaks for itself (see above). Krista, the wedding coordinator from Cafe Musee and The Cheese Board, ran a tight ship and had the day’s events choreographed to perfection.
Speaking of choreography, Kyle and Amanda’s tango to start off the party was one of the highlights of the evening.
Once again, we set up our photo booth (Crazy Cam!) at the back of the reception, and it was a huge hit. There is something about the combination of an open bar and a camera on a tripod that brings out everybody’s subconscious desire to model. I’m not sure what it is, but I think it really adds a fantastic dynamic to the wedding photos.
Continue below for a short gallery of the images, and look for more soon.

Last wedding season, Josh threw out the idea of setting up a camera on a tripod to the side of the reception and letting the guests take control of their own “informal” portraits. For whatever reason, the idea never really panned out.
But Aimee and Kiel, who were married last Saturday at Convict Lake, loved the idea so we went with it and the pictures that came from that camera were fantastic! We essentially just set up a camera with a wired trigger and a flash, showed the guests how to do it (it’s incredibly easy), and let them have at it. What resulted from the idea was the aptly named Crazy Cam. Look below for a few of the (family-friendly) shots from Crazy Cam, as well as some more “formal” portraits, and a fisheye shot from the dance floor.
One more thought-check out the formal shots on the docks. Mammoth Lakes is a beautiful place to tie the knot, and I have no doubt that Convict Lake is one of the most serene and dramatic places in the world to get married.
