Your Trusted Wedding Storytellers in Lake Tahoe
Toast Weddings was founded on the belief that wedding stories should be authentic, meaningful, and preserved for generations. Our journey began when Zach, a documentary cinematographer, started filming weddings for friends and family, approaching them with the same storytelling rigor as his award-winning documentaries. As demand grew, we realized we could make cinematic-quality wedding documentation accessible without compromising artistry. Meeting Callie, an experienced wedding photographer with a background retouching covers for top fashion magazines, solidified our vision. Together, we built a team of passionate creatives who share our commitment to capturing love stories with integrity.Our own wedding in 2019 became deeply significant when we shared our film with Zach's father during his final hours, proving the lasting emotional power of these memories. Today, we lead a tight-knit crew of experts in photography, videography, and content creation, united by a shared mission: to craft timeless stories that families treasure. With a presence in every major U.S. city and flexible packages tailored to each couple's needs, we make it simple to document your day through multiple mediums while supporting local talent.
