My name is Michael Escalera and I am a Lake Tahoe Wedding Photojournalist. Of course, I travel to many other places as well and photograph bridal and engagement sessions, seniors, families, commercial and advertising projects, and even landscapes in my spare time!
If you or someone you know is getting married then please e-mail me - I'd love to learn more about your day! The nicest compliment I could ever receive is your referral.
This is my regular hangout so if you are a blog-stalker you can subscribe by using the handy dandy RSS feature and never miss a post.

Oh, and if you are a blog-stalker then please leave me a comment on a story that you like...I'd love to hear from you!

Out of the Office
Hi Clients, Loyal Blog Stalkers, Family, Friends...
Did I miss anyone?!
I just want to let you know that I will be out of the office from Friday, May 2nd to Monday, May 5th while shooting a destination wedding in Las Vegas! My clients are awesome and I am so looking forward to this!
During this time communication may be a little delayed, but I will still answer everything as quickly as possible.
Look for the sneak peak sometime next week!
Best Wishes,
Michael
Congratulations Ari & Emily
I received news that my clients, Ari & Emily, now have a beautiful baby boy! Alex was born earlier this year and has two very proud parents!
Ari & Emily were married in 2006 and one of their images graces the inside opening to Escaleraphotography.com! Thanks again for allowing me to celebrate with you at your beautiful wedding, and congratulations again!
Best Wishes,
Michael
Congratulations Kevin & Chrystal!
I received an e-mail from one of my clients, Kevin & Chrystal, welcoming their son Mason to the world! As you can see he's quite a keeper!
Back in January 2006 I had the pleasure of photographing Kevin & Chrystal's wedding, and I shot their engagement session a few months before then!
Please enjoy the image from their wedding and the picture of baby Mason from Kevin & Chrystal!
Best Wishes,
Michael
