Jon & Katie
A Geodesic Dome Mountain Wedding

Happy one year Katie and Jon! WOW! Can’t believe it’s been only one year since their Leavenworth Washington wedding. As a wedding photographer, we always remember our “last one” the last big wedding before Covid really hit. This was it and boy am I ever thankful for such a off the grid, unique and adventurous wedding on the couple’s own property. Katie and Jon are not your average couple, they live out in the wilderness of Washington in a yurt they built themselves. This incredible and adventurous couple decided host a rad party to celebrate their love in the woods of their 20 acre property in the Cascade mountains. They love spending their time immersed in nature and they’re happiest on the trail. Katie recently launched a wilderness education retreal for women! Naturally, their wedding was scheduled to be part-adventure, part-epic dance party, and part-snowy wonderland. To kick off the day, Katie and Jon skied at sunrise with their nearest and dearest. Then Katie skied down the aisle to meet her forever person. Talented Kate & team with Ivory & Evergreen coordinated this off-the grid wedding and made sure it went smoothly! The couple said “I do” among their 100 closest family and friends beneath an ancient Ponderosa pine.  They caught all of their own food for the dinner, including the wild salmon and elk. Songs, toasts and drinks carried on into the evening in their geodesic dome and boy was it a party to remember! They busted into a incredible trance dance for their first dance that surprised everyone! This was one unique and off-the-grid wedding that I will never soon forget.  Can’t wait to get back to a sweaty dance floor! A very happy one year to Katie and Jon!

Suzanne and Joe’s wedding was a dream of a day! The Garden in the Woods is a stunning venue in the country hills of Albany, Oregon. On the drive in, the guests ride over a lake with stunning cranes welcoming them. The Oregon rain did come, but we dodged it as much as possible and as soon as the unique ceremony was about to begin, the sun shined down and Suzanne and Joe said I do. From hand-fasting to rock throwing, the ceremony was rad. The party went on through the night with fun music, great food and impromptu karaoke. Suzanne’s awesome dress was a custom made piece from the AniA Collection. So hot! Thanks S&J for inviting me to document an awesome party celebrating a great love!
