The Couple: Meg and Chris
Meg and Chris are outdoor enthusiasts who share a deep connection with nature. Their love for the great outdoors made Lake Tahoe a natural choice for their wedding venue. The Everline Resort and Spa, with its blend of luxury and natural beauty, provided the perfect setting for their celebration.

The resort’s elegant facilities and natural surroundings made it an ideal choice for Meg and Chris.
The Challenge: Unpredictable Weather
Lake Tahoe is known for its unpredictable weather, and Meg and Chris’s wedding day was no exception. The day started with a gentle drizzle, which soon turned into an unexpected flurry of snow. However, the clouds parted just in time for the ceremony, bathing the scene in warm sunlight. This ever-changing weather added a unique and memorable element to their wedding.
