Valhalla at Lake Tahoe


Valhalla Tahoe is a historic lakefront venue on the Tallac Historic Site, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and vintage charm. Ceremonies are held on the lawn with views of the lake framed by towering pines, while receptions take place inside the rustic Grand Hall with its exposed beams, wood floors, and massive stone fireplace. Just steps away, couples have access to a private pier and a striking, oversized boathouse—both of which make for incredible photo locations and a seamless extension of the venue’s character. Everything is within easy walking distance, creating a relaxed flow and plenty of visual variety throughout the day.

The LAnding

The Landing Resort & Spa offers a polished, boutique-style setting just across the street from the lake in South Lake Tahoe. While it’s not directly on the water, the venue is so close that you can still hear the waves from the upper balcony, where cocktail hour is usually held. That elevated view of the lake, framed by pine trees and rooftops, gives the event a sense of place without competing with the intimacy of the courtyard ceremony space. The layout flows well for both guests and photo coverage, with no long transitions between locations. And when it’s time for portraits, the beach is just a short walk away—perfect for slipping out quietly and coming back before anyone notices you’re gone.

Gar woods Grill & Pier


Gar Woods Grill & Pier sits on the north shore of Lake Tahoe in picturesque Carnelian Bay, blending vintage lodge charm, soaring mountain backdrops, and one of Tahoe’s most dramatic waterfront lawns. The ceremony unfolds on a manicured grassy patch right at the water’s edge, with sweeping lake panoramas and forested hills behind—every aisle photo doubles as a postcard-worthy capture. The standout feature? A private 130-foot pier that extends into the deep water, offering a cinematic space for portraits, silhouette shots, and even boat arrivals or exits .

For couples looking to elevate their gallery, I recommend renting the Wild Goose—a classic wooden “Grand Craft” boat—for a brief lake cruise. It creates a genuine escape, adds an elegant layer to couple portraits, and delivers those cinematic shots that define a Lake Tahoe wedding story.


Whether gliding past the pier at sunset or stealing a moment away, the boat option transforms routine photos into something extraordinary.

Roundhill pines

Round Hill Pines Beach Resort is a stunning lakeside venue tucked into a quiet cove on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, offering an intimate, all-outdoor setting with unobstructed views of the water and surrounding mountains. It’s an ideal choice for couples looking for a relaxed, scenic celebration with a strong sense of place. Ceremonies are held right on the sand or on the long wooden pier, with space for up to 180 guests to gather just steps from the shoreline. Receptions unfold on the lakeview patio under tall pines and open skies—perfect for sunset dining and dancing by the water.

Please note, this venue is exclusively outdoors and not available during the winter months.

And don’t overlook the food—Round Hill Pines has a genuinely impressive in-house menu. I highly recommend booking a tasting ahead of time; it’s not only helpful, it’s one of the most enjoyable parts of the planning process.

North Lake Tahoe Event Center

North Tahoe Event Center is a lakefront wedding venue in Kings Beach with unobstructed views of Lake Tahoe and the mountains beyond. It’s one of the few venues where you can have your ceremony just steps from the water and then move indoors for a reception—all without losing that iconic Tahoe backdrop.

From a photographer’s perspective, the light here is especially beautiful in the late afternoon, with the lake reflecting soft blues and golds as the sun begins to dip. The indoor space is simple and spacious, giving couples plenty of flexibility to style it their way, while the beach access makes portraits easy and natural without needing to leave the property.


For couples planning a destination wedding in North Lake Tahoe, this venue offers a blend of scenery, convenience, and space that’s hard to beat.

Zephyr Cove Resort

Zephyr Cove Resort offers a uniquely untamed take on a Lake Tahoe wedding. The ceremony space sits right on the sand, just steps from the waterline, with views that stretch wide across the lake. The surrounding pines, rustic lodge, and weathered pier create a mix of textures that photograph beautifully in every direction—there’s no need to leave the property to find variety. As the sun lowers behind the mountains, the light turns warm and dramatic, and the lake takes on deep blue and gold tones that add richness to the portraits. It’s the kind of setting that feels effortless but delivers striking, natural images—ideal for couples drawn to the quieter side of South Lake Tahoe with just enough structure to keep things flowing smoothly.
