Lake Tahoe Elopement Packages: How It All Works

Your complete guide to Lake Tahoe elopement packages — what’s included, how the process works, and how to create an unforgettable, stress-free day.



📸 Why Choose a Lake Tahoe Elopement Package?

Eloping in Lake Tahoe means endless adventure, jaw-dropping views, and a chance to celebrate your love your way — without the pressure of a big wedding.

A Lake Tahoe elopement package brings all the details together so you can focus on the fun parts: the scenery, your partner, and those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Every couple is different, but what stays the same is how effortless it feels when everything is planned for you.

💍 What’s Included in My Lake Tahoe Elopement Packages

Each package is designed to give you a relaxed, personalized experience that’s still full of adventure.
Here’s what’s typically included when you book with me:

  • Photography Coverage: Whether you choose 4, 8, or a full-day experience, I’ll document every part of your story.
  • Personalized Timeline: You’ll get a custom elopement timeline to make your day flow smoothly — no stress, just magic.
  • Location Scouting: From quiet forest spots to dramatic cliffs, I’ll help you choose the best Lake Tahoe elopement locations that fit your vision.
  • Permit Guidance: I’ll walk you through exactly how to get your elopement permit (it’s way easier than people think).
  • Vendor Recommendations: Need hair and makeup, florals, or cake? I’ve got you covered with trusted local vendors.
  • Faux Florals, Cake, & Toast: Want to keep things simple but still have all the details? I can bring along beautiful faux florals, a mini cake, and champagne (or sparkling cider) so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
  • Picnic Setup: For couples who want to slow down and soak in the moment, I’ll create a cozy styled picnic complete with treats, blankets, and your toast setup — perfect for celebrating together after your ceremony.
  • Teaser Photos: A small sneak peek within 24 hours because I know you’ll want to relive it right away.
