Vintage Donner Lake Wedding at West End Beach

Vintage Donner Lake Wedding at West End Beach. Fire season arrived late to the Tahoe area as the King Fire was set ablaze which unfortunately put many in an uneasy situation. Thick smoke riddled the areas around the northern front of the fire lines and unfortunately spilled over into the Truckee Basin. However even with the smoky conditions, it would not put a damper on Julienne and Nick’s wedding day at West End Beach on Donner Lake. Making the best of the situation, the smoke was thick, but lifted just enough to offer up pacific northwest style lighting conditions for their day. The smoke acted as a natural scrim and softened the light just enough for a very classic look. We couldn’t have lucked out more as it really went well with their vintage theme of the day. They had so many cool details from the addition of their two Goldendoodle’s “Mowgli” and “Ellie”, vintage couch and a classic convertible Ford Mustang. Not phased in anyway due to the fire, Julienne, Nick and their guests had a wonderful day! Big thanks to all the vendors who made their day a big success (vendor list at the bottom of the fold). Congratulations Julienne & Nick!
