CHS featured in the Knot: Kim & Kevin

Photos By: Catherine Hall Studios, San Francisco, CA

Location: The Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino, Incline Village

Kimberly and Kevin first met in Boulder, Colorado, where she was attending college and he was visiting a friend. But it wasn't until six years later when the two crossed paths again, in San Francisco, that they really hit it off and started dating.

Two years later, while in Kevin's hometown of Madison, Wisconsin, they took a private after-hours tour of the Capitol Dome. As the two were enjoying the views of downtown Madison, Kevin knelt down and proposed. Plans for a destination wedding at Lake Tahoe were soon underway.

Kim's Incredible Vendors:
Florist: A Bud and Beyond, Christina Averkin
Caterer & Cake Designer: The Hyatt
Hair & Makeup: Linda Coyle
Coordinator : Kimberly Mitchell Zinn
