This lovely dog park is right next to Gar Woods Restaurant in Carnelian Bay. My couple was amazing; they both felt blessed beyond measure to have found each other! It was a hundred pounds of organic meat that brought them together. My bride’s uber-large Leonberger, Jasper, is the size of a horse, and eats a lot of meat. Lucy, the smaller Leonberger, is a sweet, elderly lady. The bride was a vegetarian when she was doing all the meat-shopping for her dogs; the groom raises organic meat.
My groom wondered aloud one day, “Who is buying all this meat?” That is how they met! Five years later, they are happy. I told Kathryn, my photographer, to be ready for a fun wedding shoot with a couple in blue jeans and a lot of dog poundage. (Jasper weighs about 250 pounds.) Somewhere in the distance of this photograph is a third dog, who may be the most hyper dog on Earth: Cricket the border collie. He raced back and forth throughout the wedding, chasing the waves. (Kathryn wondered if he was on doggie-crack.) They are a happy group!
My groom told me he wants to return in his next life as one of his wife’s dogs; their lives are that good! Their love for each other is clearly unconditional. I loved the laid-back feel of the couple in blue jeans, playing with their dogs on the beach. My bride told me she had gone to the dog park the day before, just after a wedding. They left a ton of flowers, and she asked the wedding planner if she could have some for their wedding the next day. It felt right!
The groom’s stunning daughter served as our witness, and the bride told me that the groom’s first wife did her hair for the wedding. This is a most harmonious blended family! Tahoe did its part to make the magic, with fall colors, a sky with brilliant, sweeping clouds, and a light breeze. They brought some gorgeous, old-vintage champagne for the toasting. It was a perfect Tahoe Autumn Day!
Happiness to all!
