Wasilla Wedding - Mark and Jamie

This summer i have had the pleasure of working with so many great couples and this weekend was no exception. Mark and Jamie had their ceremony on the edge of a lake in the backyard of Mark's parents' house and then followed it up with a great party. We had a chance to go and get some great shots by the lake and then at a neighbor's house with a trampoline. It was really tough to get these shots because everytime they would bounce, I would bounce towards the middle and get in the way. After some effort, we managed to get a few really cool shots. The one above is my favorite. It was also cool to see one of my former bride and grooms; some of their friends in attendance also happened to be a couple we photographed last month! -nick

Girdwood/Alyeska Wedding Deb and Travis

Some of you might remember Deb and Travis from the engagement that I did with them a month or so ago. We had a great shoot back then and they were just as great of models this time. They had a nice little ceremony out back of the Alyeska Ski Resort (stunning views of the mountains around), which made for some nice backdrops for the family photos. They and Carla, the wedding planner, had a lot of great ideas and everything turned out awesome. The cutest part was the five little flower girls that all trotted simultaneously down the isle. Too cute! -nick

Anchorage Wedding - Jenna & Geoff

On Friday Joe and I teamed up again to photograph Jenna & Geoff's wedding. There were a lot of friends and family in attendance and the church was packed to capacity. Because they got a package with two photographers, we were able to get some great angles and vantage points that you wouldn't normally get. For example, the shot of the bride and her father coming down the aisle looks great from below, but is even more interesting looking down from above. We went over to the Susitna Club on-base after the ceremony, for the reception. We were able to sneak Jenna and Geoff out for a few miuntes and found a few nice places to work with just as the sun was about to go below the trees.

Nick's Anchorage Wedding - Juli & John

Last weekend I had the pleasure of going to another amazing wedding. It's funny to think back to when I was shooting in Michigan dreaming of shooting weddings like this one. Juli and John got married at John's parents' house in a beautifully done ceremony in the living room. Afterwards, they had the reception on the tennis courts outside. We were only feet from the Coastal Trail and the water. In fact, while Juli was singing a song for John, a train went by and added a little of its own music. -nick

Moose Pass Wedding - Becky & Paul

Last weekend on the 23rd I went out to beautiful Moose Pass for a wedding at The Inn at Tern Lake. It was my first time there and it was amazing. Paul and Becky came up from Seattle and had a gorgeous wedding and reception. The two of them were great troopers and went for a walk with me through the woods to get to a great little spot by a little lake. I had a couple of close calls with almost falling into the water, but it was well worth it with the lighting that I ended up getting with the sidelight hidden in the bushes in the pond. They did two ceremonies, one Korean and one American, to celebrate both backgrounds. Paul and Becky had really outgoing personalities which made for some great photo opportunities. -nick
