Nicky Byrnes Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
Carnelian Bay, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Nikki from Nemus photography is a fantastic Tahoe-local and wonderfully talented artist. We have had the joy of doing a number of area events together over the years and Nikki truly delivers with amazing shots, beautifully edited images and we would highly recommend her to couples looking for an artistic, creative and professional photographer for their engagement shoot, wedding celebration, etc. Having done hundreds of Tahoe area wedding myself I will say that Nikki pours her heart and soul into her work and it shows. If you want a massively-talented photographer who knows the area, can tell your love story through beautiful images and is professional and timely than look no further.

Jasmine & Co was great to work with and communicate with, as well as having competitive prices. They were well worth every penny we spent to hire them for my wedding for my bridal hair and makeup as well as for my bridal party. Jasmine, Alicia and Katie all killed it in the best possible way. I loved my trial when we did it, but decided to add hair extensions and I’m SO glad I did! Alicia was a wizard when it came to put them in and doing my hairstyle. My hair and make up went perfectly with my dress & veil. I have never felt so beautiful in my life and they executed my bridal look above and beyond what I could’ve ever hoped for. My bridesmaids and Maid of Honor, and our mother’s were absolute perfection. Everyone had very natural looking makeup with a little glam. It was perfect for our outdoor wedding. We were a quiet group lol probably more than other bridal parties. But we still had a great time! There are truly not enough “Thank you’s” for me to say, but I am so grateful for their time and talents that they shared to make my day and myself as beautiful as it could be. Thank you for being apart of all of our pictures and memories. They were absolutely the BEST team for our hair & makeup! It showed why they are a preferred vendor for so many venues. With love, Marissa & Steven

Now that my husband and I have moved to Lincoln I decided to start my floral business full time.

Heather was a dream vendor to work with. She helped make this vision come to life- from planning, strategizing my budget, introducing me to different ideas and creating pieces that I was able to use during my ceremony and repurpose for my reception. She was so understanding, flexible, easy to work with and gave me the most grace when I was undecided on something. She is patient and kind and I couldn’t recommend anyone else on such a stressful/important day- she goes above and beyond. Her communication is excellent and her attention to detail is immaculate. Our flowers were beautiful and high quality. All of the pieces were put together with excellent care and didn’t fall apart. Our boutonnières were magnets- easy for the men to put on! She created a pocket boutonnière for the groom that was so different and special. My bridal bouquet was the perfect size and wasn’t heavy at all! She even did our petals for our flower girls. Heather, we loved working with you and look forward to future events where you can help execute our next vision. Thank you for everything and all of your hard work . Love, The Parkers

MSR was by far our dream venue. Not only are the views and property absolutely stunning, but Scena and Susanne were incredible to work with. Wedding planning is hard and stressful, there’s always something you didn’t think of, but, believe me, Scena already has and has already worked it out for you. A God send Our family and us had so much fun staying here as well. We loved being able to stay for 4 days, wind down with our close family after the wedding, and relive the moments together. It truly makes the weekend more special when you don’t have to pack up and get out the very next day. I could go on and on about how wonderful our weekend was. I highly recommend MSR and working with Scena and Susanne. It’s worth the trust me!

Memo really came to the rescue when we had originally booked with a studio that flaked two days prior to the wedding. Memo was extremely patient and understanding of our situation and offered us a very generous and flexible rate to accommodate us with such short notice. He maintained a positive attitude during the whole event even when the circumstances were not ideal. Memo is very professional and friendly, you can tell he is passionate about his work. We were so happy with our photos, I would definitely book him again for an anniversary shoot or a family shoot. Thanks again, Memo. :)

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

Anne Roos was a fantastic live music addition to our wedding in early April. She had worked with our coordinator in the past, making it a seamless integration into the wedding program. We loved the deep library of music that she offered; we found songs that fit every moment for our ceremony and the cocktail hour. The music added a classy touch to our ceremony and the guests loved the movie themes and show tunes! We had our wedding just after in the last major snowfall in North Lake and she was able to accommodate that the changing weather without any disruption to the program. We would highly recommend Anne for anyone looking for a Classical harpist in the Tahoe region.

  • Serves Carnelian Bay, CA

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

At Nathalia Rose Events, we believe your engagement season should feel just as meaningful as the wedding day itself.

From the beginning, we step in with clarity, care, and structure so nothing feels overwhelming and everything feels like it’s coming together with ease.

We hired Nathalia Rose Events as the month of coordinator for our wedding reception, and are so grateful we did! We were so overwhelmed at first (est. guest count was 400), however, Natalie and her team were simply amazing. From providing feedback to reassuring us about all of the little last minute curve balls and potatoes, Natalie seemed to always know what we were thinking and what we needed. She was extremely organized and communicated clearly with us and our vendors to make sure we were all on the same page the night of our event. We could not have had the night we had without Natalie and her team. She is so incredibly kind, caring, and absolutely killed it when it came to helping us bring our vision to life on the day of our event.

He was communicative, on time, and open to going with the flow as changes came up with our itinerary due to unexpected rain. We got married at our church, took pictures at a nearby garden, and then we traveled 30 minutes to the reception. We definitely recommend him and hope others can have the great experience we had with him!

You NEED Crush’s at your wedding! Hadyn and Falon were amazing! Knowledgeable, professional, and fun! Seriously, our family & friends are still raving about the cocktails at our wedding. :) We found Crush’s on Instagram and fell in love with the creative and photogenic cocktails they posted. We booked the cocktail bar package for our wedding and they provided us with a tasting of our choice of 4 bottled cocktails to try at home so we could narrow it down to 3. They were all delicious, but we ended up going with the Watermelon Moscow Mule, Open Flame, & Rosehip Dew Drop. They then provided us with a list of liquor we needed to purchase for the selected cocktails, since mobile bars are a “dry-hire” bartending service in CA. On our wedding day, the ladies were on time and helped setup the self-serve beer, wine, non-alcoholic drink buckets, and welcome shots. They provided the buckets, ice, cups, hand-made cocktail mixers, garnishes, etc., and brought their own beautiful wooden bar. They served our 3 cocktails along with straight & mixed shots all night. The cocktails were such a hit, that we ran out of liquor (we had a ton of beer left lol). The ladies offered to run to the liquor store to purchase more and saved the night! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Recommend them 10000%!
