Blue Lotus Photography

. Once we met Josh and Sandra for our engagement shoot all of our worries disappeared. They are so fun, have a great dynamic, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and have a very obvious passion for photography. In early May 2022 we had our wedding. Having Josh and Sandra there was so much fun and although we haven't gotten the photos back yet I know they will be amazing. I HIGHLY recommend booking them for your wedding!

k, so I was so worried about hiring photographers out of state, but we decided this was what we wanted.. Josh and Sandra were FANTASTIC!!! They made us feel so comfortable and joked around with us the whole time. I felt like I was taking pictures with friends! They went above and beyond to make this day special and memorable for us. Not to mention, it had snowed MANY FEET before our shoot and they tracked through it all for us! AND THE PICTURES - OH MY GOSH - they are beautiful!! We would recommend using Josh and Sandra for ANY and ALL events you have! Thank you so much for all you did for us Josh and Sandra! Hopefully we can work with you again when we come back out for our yearly visit!!

o over ideas, they wanted to do it the way we wanted to do it. Flexibility was key to the success of our wedding. Not only were the "staged" pictures in unique areas with great views, but they made sure to grab some great candid shots as well. So far, we've only seen a few pictures in a sneak peek, but they are awesome. We can't wait to see the rest! If you want someone who is really easy to work with, and understands how to capture the beauty of the S. Lake Tahoe area, Sandra and Josh will not disappoint. I suggest having both of them there for max value/flexibility.

or my wedding in May of 2010. What we wanted: great still life shots of the "basics" (aka. group shots), but most importantly, we wanted the "action" shots of the day. What was going on? What were people feeling? Could they capture the expressions and emotions on everyone's faces? After seeing a book of their work at our wedding venue in the Bay Area, we went to their website - and surprisingly, they had such a variety of different photos, we were kinda taken aback. But that only speaks to their incredible versatility here. Because, when we went to meet with them and see countless shots of their work, I was astounded at how many "perfect" shots there were... not just across each medium, or each type of shot, but across one entire wedding - with wedding after wedding - from start to finish I loved their work. Fast forward a few months to the engagement session - we had such a blast. My husband isn't the most natural smiler. But the way Josh and Sandra made us feel comfortable with the camera(s), every shot had a happy natural smile on my then fiance's face. In May, our wedding felt perfect. And before we could even see the photographs, I can't count on one hand the number of guests and family members who commented on how professional, yet fun, our photographers were. "Quick to get everyone needed together with a short timeline, but able to do it while not feeling like a heard of cattle - hope the photos are as great as their personalities." (quote courtesy of my aunt). Four weeks after the wedding, we received an email that our photos were online and available for viewing - CD in the mail soon! (Note this is fast for a wedding photographer - anything shorter than this is either a lie, or they don't take the time to make sure you don't have food in your teeth and the color is right.) When we received the photos, we spent 2 hours going through almost a thousand perfect photos. They did the "basic" group shots creatively, and they flawlessly captured the feeling of the day, the emotions of my husband and I, and the happiness on everyone's faces. Though they live in Lake Tahoe now, I constantly see updates on Facebook that they're back in the Bay Area for a photo shoot. It seems they're traveling quite a bit, and are able to go wherever your wedding may be. They were always on time, and weren't "looking at the time" if you know what I mean. Overall, I would recommend them for any wedding, and would recommend you go beyond their website and meet with them in person - it will make your incredibly difficult decision of choosing a photographer that much easier. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any specific questions.
