This trip all began because I had the pleasure of getting to photograph a friends wedding in Las Vegas. Coincidentally as the trip neared, my brother had just recently moved to Reno Nevada. Since I was already in Las Vegas shooting a wedding, I thought why not pop over to Reno and visit my brother while also getting to visit Lake Tahoe which is close by! Lake Tahoe is somewhere I’ve wanted to visit for awhile, so it was perfect.

So after a few great days photographing in Las Vegas, I headed to Reno and my brother and I went all around Lake Tahoe circling the entire lake. There were so many beautiful beaches and stops, and it was truly such a sight to see. Since my return flight had already been booked out of Las Vegas, I decided to rent a car to drive back from Reno to Las Vegas stopping at Alabama Hills on the way. It was a little out of the way, but Alabama Hills is another place I’ve always wanted to see and I thought why not check off one more place on my bucket list on the drive. 

I made it to Alabama Hills just in time for sunset and got to cruise around and check out the area for a little bit before heading back to Las Vegas to fly back home. I love being able to go on trips where I can mix business with pleasure and this was definitely one of those adventures!
