South Lake Tahoe has mountains, lakes, and so much greenery - it's the perfect place for an intimate wedding surrounded by nature, especially if you're looking at Heavenly Lakeview Lodge as your wedding venue! This intimate wedding was classic, romantic, and so much fun. Katie and Alex’s ceremony was officiated by a close friend and they exchanged the most heartfelt vows. Their first look was unlike anything I’ve ever seen - it took place overlooking Lake Tahoe’s enormous pines and blue skies. This was such an epic, adventurous intimate wedding!

Read MoreHannah + Anthony had such a love-filled, gorgeous Summer wedding at Roswell River Landing. This riverfront venue is located in a popular suburb of Atlanta, about 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta, or about an hour from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport! From the hotel, we went to Roswell River Landing. This hybrid indoor/outdoor venue is located right on the Chattahoochee River -- better known as “The Hooch” to Georgians. While there are no rumored aliens at this particular “Roswell,” on a hot summer day you are 100% sure to see a UFO on the ‘hooch... that is, an unidentified FLOATING object (usually a sunburnt person playing country music and drinking beer). On a hot day like that - 99 degrees with 90+ percent humidity - there’s really nothing better than sitting your butt in an inner tube and floating down the river — it’s what Georgians call “Shootin the Hooch”. Half the bridal party was strongly considering joining the floaters until the sun went down!

Glacier Point is a sight in Yosemite that will leave you absolutely wonderstruck. From Glacier Point, visitors can take in a panoramic view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Yosemite’s high country from an elevation of 7,214 feet. Needless to say, it’s a pretty epic location to commit your life to your partner. The National Park System Yosemite page says it best: “Not just a great valley, but a shrine to human foresight, the strength of granite, the power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra.”
