Gay winter wedding
During the snowy months, PlumpJack Inn is the perfect place for a cozy winter wedding. Lake Tahoe is a favorite destination for these two grooms. So, this was the perfect place for them to exchange vows and tie the knot.
I photographed this wedding on a clear, crisp December day with blue skies. The photo below is one of my favorite photos from this LGBTQ wedding at PlumpJack Inn.
Once the snow begins to fall, Olympic Valley becomes a winter wonderland. On the wedding day, arrived in advance and drove to the east end of the valley. From here, I shot a limited landscape images to document the beautiful location and surrounding peaks. PlumpJack Inn sits at the base of the Tram Encounter. The Tram Face is the shaded cliff area just right-of-center in the photo below.
First Gaze in the Courtyard
Shortly after I arrived, the grooms met one another in the courtyard (aka Upper Pool Patio) for a quick first look. Since PlumpJack Inn is a fairly tiny venue, this outdoor space is a versatile, multi-use area. At most weddings, I make a couple location recommendations for the first look.

It feels like forever ago that Jamie & Liz first got in touch about their wedding plans. When they first emailed me, they were nervous about coming out to complete strangers as an LGBT couple, as they weren’t sure how accepting people in Europe were with same-sex relationships. In their email they talked a little bit about themselves, and how they imagined their winter wedding day surrounded by mountains, ideally close to a ski resort since they both loved to hit the slopes together. I remember instantly writing back to them with a big HELL YES, I’d love to be your photographer. Anyone who imagines skiing as part of their wedding gets a huge high five from me! From the very first Skype phone that we had, I knew that we’d earn on like a property on fire. They way they described their imagine wedding day to me, I knew it would be perfect. Their vision was t
