Your Dreamy, Snowy Engagement
Are you dreaming of a magical winter engagement session? Picture a snowy wonderland paired with the crystal blue waters of Lake Tahoe shimmering in the sun. If that sounds like a dream, you’re not alone. Many couples find Lake Tahoe to be the perfect location for a winter engagement, and Ally and Cole were no exception.
As a Lake Tahoe winter engagement photographer, I’ve had the joy of capturing countless love stories in this incredible place. There’s something extra special about the way the snow transforms the landscape into a clean and natural canvas. Not only does the snow create stunning visuals, but it acts as a natural reflector. This gives your photos a soft, glowing quality that’s hard to replicate in other seasons.
Ally & Cole’s Winter Love Story
Ally and Cole are a couple from Texas who wanted their engagement photos to be unique. While planning their winter wedding in Tahoe, they decided to book their engagement session during a site visit. The result was a day filled with snowy adventures, cozy moments, and a sunset to remember.
We started the session by the lakeshore, where the snow-covered ground contrasts beautifully with the deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe. Ally and Cole embraced the winter spirit with a snowball fight. It was a fun way to kick off the session and capture their personalities!
Next, we warmed up at a local coffee shop. With steaming mugs in hand, the two cozied up both inside and outdoors. The soft winter light created intimate and heartwarming moments.
Finally, we headed to a nearby lookout just in time for sunset. The sun dipped behind the mountains, casting a golden light on the snowy peaks. It was the perfect way to wrap up a truly magical day.

Why Choose Lake Tahoe for Your Winter Engagement
Lake Tahoe is a year-round paradise, but there’s something uniquely romantic about winter here. The snow-covered trees, serene lake views, and cozy mountain-town atmosphere make it an unbeatable destination for engagement photos. In addition, winter sessions allow for fun, personal touches—think ski days, hot beverages, crackling fires, and soft blankets for snuggling.
As a Lake Tahoe engagement photographer, I know the best spots to capture the magic of the winter. Whether you want a lakeside view, a snowy forest backdrop, or a panoramic vista at sunset, I’ll help you create photos that capture your love story and the beauty of this incredible season.
Tips for a Perfect Winter Engagement Session
- Dress Warmly (and Stylishly): Layers are your best friend! Opt for cozy sweaters, beanies, and boots that keep you warm while complementing the snowy backdrop. Avoid neon colors and busy patterns, which distract from your face.
- Incorporate Personal Touches: Bring along props like a thermos of your favorite hot drink, a blanket, or even your skis or snowboards to make the session uniquely yours.
- Embrace the Weather: Snowflakes in your hair? A little chill in the air? These moments add authenticity and charm to your photos.
- Plan for Sunset: I said it before, and I’ll say it again: winter sunsets in Tahoe are magical. Planning your session around golden hour ensures you’ll have that gorgeous glow in your photos.
