Last August my best friend Tenaya sent me a screen shot of a post on Facebook that someone we both went to school with was looking for a photographer for her wedding. I messaged Kellie to say that I was interested in having her book me, and after quick briefing on what she was looking for, she booked me for the gig. Kellie gave me a quick story on what she needed. She sent me a video from the Wounded Warrior Project of her fiance and his best friend Keith to fill me in on what their back story was, and what I would need to know before the wedding. You can watch this clip here. Even before I saw this I was so excited to shoot the wedding for them, and after I saw it I couldnt even put into words how happy I was to be of help. Kellie and Chris got married at Chena Hot Springs Resort in Alaska. From the moment they picked me up from the airport it was a trip I knew that I would never forget. Immediately I felt like part of the crew, cracking jokes and crying from laughter like I had been apart of the group all along. Alaska was so incredibly gorgeous, I was stoked to be given the opportunity to photograph their wedding and to tag along for all the activities we did in the days leading up to it. Chris is such an amazing person who so clearly loves Kellie and Karlie more than anyone could ever hope to be loved. Chris, Kellie, and Karlie crack jokes back and forth all day, always laughing and making great memories together. The family was great, loving, and truly so wonderful to be around. Kellie and Chris, thank you for this amazing opportunity to let me photograph your wedding. I had so much fun, and I am very happy that I was able to be the photographer to capture these moments for you. I am lucky to have had this opportunity and this will be a trip that I will remember for many years to come. There will be more to come, but until then. Enjoy.
Beautiful and creative, Mo. And Alaska! Well done :)
