Taylor and Kellen's wedding at Sugarbowl in Truckee, CA was a beautiful and memorable affair. The couple's love story began in 2019 when they met on the dating app Bumble, despite both working at the same company in San Francisco. After living a nomadic lifestyle for six months, they got engaged in San Diego and decided to move back to SF.

Although Tahoe wasn't their usual getaway spot, they were drawn to the idea of getting married in the mountains. Taylor, who grew up backpacking with her dad in the Trinity Alps, had a deep connection to the outdoors. They wanted to embrace nature and provide their guests with an immersive experience, which is why they chose Sugarbowl Resort as their venue.

The wedding weekend kicked off with a fun and western-inspired rehearsal dinner. The couple wanted to create a warm and cozy atmosphere for their special day, incorporating organic fall neutrals with dark dramatic accents. Their vision was unassuming and classic, bringing a touch of elegance to the rustic setting.

One of the highlights of their wedding was the stunning backdrop of Sugarbowl. While they didn't prioritize the typical iconic views of Lake Tahoe, they found solace in the majestic mountains surrounding them. The venue allowed their guests to stay on-site, fostering an intimate and inclusive environment.
