Villa del Cielo: Scott & Shelly

Filed in: Weddings

We can’t believe what Shelly did for the first time they met in person! Scott and Shelly live in Lake Tahoe and he is a fire fighter and Shelly owns a hair salon. They met the old fashioned way…match dot com. But just wait till you hear what she did for the first time they met in person! It’s sneaky and we love it! It started with emails, and then texts and then very long phone conversations. After one of the phone conversations, she hung up and told her parents “I’m going to marry that guy!” But just in case her intuition wasn’t enough, she decided to have the first time they met to be at her salon. Buuuuuut she didn’t want to be alone, so she had her best friends pose as her “customers” in the salon at the exact time he was supposed to arrive at the salon! Brilliant plan and it worked! Her friends approved, and they went on their first date, which involved Starbucks and then nine hours later they had completely lost track of time. From that moment on they were inseparable. They both knew very early on that they were each other’s person. Scott and Shelly knew exactly what they were looking for in a spouse, and needless to say they quickly found it in each other. We love how they started with a solid foundation of love and friendship, and it’s so fun to see how they are enjoying every part of the adventure together!

Their wedding day was absolutely incredible! First of all, their venue, Villa del Cielo is a beautiful estate! Breathtaking views and the pool in the center of the reception seating made for gorgeous photos! Second of all, Scott and Shelly have incredible friends and family who celebrate them so well, so the day was filled with celebration and joy all day long! They had a beautiful ceremony, with a view of the ocean and the islands! Their ring bearer was their adorable two year old white golden retriever named Bear! They took a shot of Whiskey together right before they were pronounced husband and wife, so cute! And then they celebrated all night long! We had so much fun photographing this incredible couple’s wedding and we’re excited to share it!
