Chuck and Sylvia both worked together, but didn't date for a while. However, Sylvia was checking Chuck out from the beginning. She finally decided to make a move one day while leaving work. She honked at him and basically cat-called him, which just shows how playful and fun this couple is.They had a small ceremony at their mountain home in Kings Beach, California, right off the shore of Lake Tahoe. Sylvia's relatives did her hair and makeup while their little pup Brody made darn sure I didn't get anywhere near his mom. He was a good guard dog and will defend their home against anyone that dares to come near.Their ceremony was short and sweet, surrounded by close family, friends and flowers that the couple arranged themselves. After the emotional ceremony, the couples' friends treated them to two vintage bottles of Dom Perignon which put everyone in the mood for a cake made by Sugar Pine Cakery in Tahoe City, California.

Following a quick reception and toasts, we all headed off to Speedboat Beach for some portraits. Even though it was January in the mountains, we had gorgeous weather and soaked in the sun.
