After having a day to drive around the Juneau area with my awesome sister (we saw glaciers, bald eagles, and lots and lots of snow), it was time for KD and Wess’ wedding, and to ring in the New Year!
KD’s gorgeous Badgley Mischka heels…
Downtown Juneau, Alaska covered in snow…
KD and Wess’ friends spent hours working on this gorgeous backdrop to decorate the ceremony space. It has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen.
On the steps of Alaska’s capitol building…
KD created a gorgeous modern lounge area in the reception space…
Happy New Year!!
Congratulations, KD and Wess!!
Ceremony location: Baranof Hotel, Juneau Alaska
Reception space: McPhetres Hall, Juneau, AK

I’ve always been a traveler. I blame my parents for raising me like a nomad. So when KD got in touch with me about shooting a wedding in Alaska, I jumped at the chance. And then she reiterated: Alaska. In December. Cold? I’m from Michigan. I can handle it. And I’m so glad I did, because it was such a wonderful experience. I felt so incredibly lucky to have sunshine as we landed, and once I got settled at the hotel, I was off with KD and Wess for the engagement shoot. They picked an amazing spot on Douglas Island, across the channel from Juneau proper.
I’ll say this: Alaskans come from hearty stock. KD and Wess had no problem tromping around in the snow and even getting their feet wet. Love it.
Favorite shot of the day! I couldn’t believe we stumbled upon actual ruins in Alaska, but nevertheless, there we were.
Next up, their New Year’s Eve wedding celebration!

Hilary and Justin were one of my first 2012 wedding couples, and I thought I’d throw a little engagement loveliness out here before everyone heads off for the holidays!
Way back in October we got together to walk around the downtown Park Blocks, the Art Museum, and take some photos of this adorable couple. Congratulations!
My favorite shot of the day!
