Fireweed Wedding
Colorado Mountain Wedding
I met Tess in August of 2007 while moving into our freshman dorm suite. Tess might just be one of the most wonderful people I know. Anyone who knows her, will tell you that you are instantly drawn to her laughter and contagiously bubbly personality.
After I graduated from college, I moved back to Alaska and Tess stayed in Colorado. Over the years we have made trips to see each other and have stayed in great contact. I was beyond excited when I received the call from Tess letting me know her and Kyle were engaged and she insisted I had to make plans to ensure I was there!
Tess and Kyle’s wedding day was nothing short of a wild good time! The weather went from sunny to thunder to rain in the middle of the ceremony, but that stopped no one from having a good time. I had a hard time picking photos from that day, Tess and Kyle had one of the most emotional first looks I’ve witnessed and you’ll see that below. Also that contagious personality I mentioned earlier? That is probably why you’ll see the 14+ bridesmaids on bikes riding to the wedding ceremony.
Enjoy!
Adlersheim Wedding by the Sea
Over the years I have photographed so many amazing moments at the Adlersheim Lodge in Juneau. The beach is full of large jagged rock cliffs, and depending on the day, the waves may be rolling in and crashing behind you. It really is a magical spot to have an intimate wedding, in the wilderness and without cell phone reception. This particular day the weather was gray, the water was turquoise, and the rain held off for a beautiful ceremony!
A Halloween Elopement
Halloween is without a doubt my favorite holiday, so when Rosie asked me to photograph her and Logan’s elopement during Halloween week, you bet I was there! Rosie arrived to the Narrows bar, and made her aisle- the very narrow (hence the name of the bar) walk to the back of the bar. On that walk down the aisle, Rosie was greeted by everyone from friends and family, to Alaska governor candidate, Mark Begich (he didn’t win :( but he also prank called Rosie on her way to the bar). I think the photos speak for themselves on the fun and loving character of Rosie, Logan, and their tribe who were present that night.
