Happiest, funniest, full of life couples we have ever worked with. WE LOVE THEM! (Well we love all our couples but you know) Just thinking about them makes me smile. Shane is so patient and loving to Michele. Michele may have been stressed and worried the whole time during the planning stages but the day of her wedding she sat back and enjoyed the ride. I am so glad she did. They were married at The Chateau at Incline Village in Lake Tahoe on May 29th. Weather ended up being perfect, the rehearsal night it snowed! I was so worried but the day of was beautiful. Their Ceremony site is breathe taking, it over looks the mountains that had a hint of snow on them.
I wanted to give a shout out to their parents. Both sets of parents are so very sweet and fun. Shane’s parents are hilarious and Michele’s are so caring and full of love. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this wonderful couples wedding day and share it with their family and friends.
We had some hard working vendors making sure Shane and Michele’s wedding day was flawless (or at least appear so). Maggi at The Chateau was the nicest Banquet Coordinator ever! She bent over backwards for them and made sure she could do all she could to accommodate Shane and Michele’s requests. Sean and Elke Seymour with 358 Studios, Photography and Film did their wedding video. We haven’t seen it yet but are looking forward to it. They were so professional and easy to work with. Martin Johanneck was their photographer, he is based in Woodland and everyone there knows him. Such a great guy. These are all his pictures of them in our post. We enjoy working with vendors that are working for the bride and groom!
Shane and Michele were full of smiles and laughs the whole day which set the tone and enjoyment for the day. Michele really wanted to see all her guests and say hi so we did a small receiving line at the of the ceremony. The stairs where the guests went up to enter the reception is where they stood and hugged all their guests. It was a really sweet personal touch that the guests appreciated. We had fun planning with them, especially Michele, she was so detailed oriented (like me). I was glad I was able to be there to help her take in her special day. Here’s their song choices:
