Black Bear Lodge in South Lake Tahoe, CA has always been a favorite venue, with it’s intimate and lush grounds surrounded by private cabins and an impressive main lobby.

I recently collaborated with some fantastic local wedding talent (scroll to the end to see the list) to highlight what’s possible for an intimate event here. Miranda, with Mira Events, created endless eye candy from the inviting table scape and cozy ceremony setting.
