Newlyweds Talk about Their Wedding Day Experiences

“Thank you so much Kenny for giving me an absolutely perfect wedding. My husband and I really liked Minister John. He was funny and not an old stuffy type. We loved how the pictures you took turned out. You did a fabulous job. The views from the observation platform at Heavenly were amazing. I would recommend your services to anyone. Thank you again.”

Groom holds up his bride who is sinking in the snow.

“We titled our wedding “Wheelchair in the Snow”. We presented Reverend Rob with some interesting challenges. How do you get a quadriplegic bride in a wheelchair on a horse drawn sleigh and then from the sleigh to a wedding site in several feet of snow? Rob handled it with ease, even when we fell through the snow. Better yet, his photographer caught it all…the laughs, the smiles, and the bride in the snow in her wedding gown. Some wedding officiants would have panicked, but Pastor Rob handled it with grace. He picked up on our sense of humor, followed our lead, and it turned into an awesome wedding to remember. And to the delight of our friends back home, the photos made it a wedding for them to remember too.”

“This is a beautiful place in the winter time. We were supposed to have our ceremony at Emerald Bay, but couldn’t due to the avalanche control going on. We ended up having our ceremony over looking the lake in a park like setting. I was a little worried about how it would come out, and even thought of cancelling it. Although I wanted Emerald Bay to be the location, I think that it still came out beautiful. The pictures came out very good. I was amazed at them…better than what I expected! They did a great job at accommodating us to try and make this our special day. These are great people to work with. Thanks a Million!.”

The twosome are using hand signs to communicate.

“Considering we never met you or the pastor until the day of the wedding, I really wasn’t expecting a perfect wedding. But on a scale from 1 to 10 with ten being the best, I would say it was a 100! Pastor Orr was unbelievable; it seemed like he already knew us. It was an incredible and perfect day. The photographer was great and the photos were amazing, and you were so easy to deal with during the preparation and planning of our special occasion and in answering all our questions. Both of us will highly recommend you. We just wanted to share this with you and to let you know that we were beyond happy with everything. You made our day! Thank you so much.”

“Thank you for wonderful event on June 21st! We couldn’t have done it without you. One draw back was the limo…no A/C (hot ride for the women)and the driver was a little fast through the mountains. Us flatlanders aren’t used to that! HAHA! We just received the pictures from the photographer today…OUTSTANDING JOB!!! I would keep him on the payroll!!!”

“Hello Kenny. I just want to say you made everything go so well with our wedding on Saturday. Sasha and I are both totally happy. It was a pleasure meeting you and working with you. You made the weekend perfect and special for us. The ceremony with Reverend Kessler was wonderful. Richard with All Seasons Limousine Service was excellent and we enjoyed the drive out to Emerald Bay and back. And we most appreciate your taking the extra time to meet us at the Lakeland Village beach to take additional photos. I think that was the part Sasha was most looking forward to, and it went great! Thanks again for all your help.”

Couple walks down the aisle during the recessional phase of the wedding ceremony.

“Hello Kenny. I just wanted to say a big “THANK YOU” again for all your help in making our special day so easy. You really made me feel comfortable knowing you were handling everything and that basically all we had to do was show up. It was that simple. It’s very stressful whether you’re throwing a big or small wedding, not to mention a destination wedding, and you helped make our day relatively stress free. I am going to send Pastor Orr and his lovely wife Nancy a thank you as well. I will recommend you to anyone wanting to get married in Lake Tahoe. Thank you again for everything.”
