On a small outdoor patio at a private estate outside of Truckee, California, an intimate elopement occurs in the woods of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.

A lot of mountains had to be moved for Jenny and Tom’s Covid affected Martis Camp elopement to happen. The largest of which was that Tom’s parents live in Israel and were worried about being able to attend at all, despite the fact that they were both vaccinated in December of 2020. Tom’s father spent the entirety of his pandemic life training to ride his bicycle around Lake Tahoe.  I am happy to announce that they were successful and did so together on the day before the wedding.

Jenny’s parents, siblings, and cousin were also in attendance to round out this charming and hysterical afternoon.  The wind was raging (hysterical, not charming).  It knocked over the decor mid-ceremony.  Jenny’s brother had swapped jackets with his future brother-in-law and discovered in the middle of the ceremony that he no longer had the rings (both charming and hysterical). There were homemade egg rolls by Jenny’s mother, macaroons, and French champagne. It was an absolute joy spending an hour with this group for their Martis Camp elopement.
