As in, I’d like to add more to my days so I can get everything I’d like accomplished, actually DONE. Suffice it to say, I haven’t posted for a while because I just haven’t had time to blog. But I have soooo many things to share with you friends and even many more photos to display… a little bit of a World of Color, some Alaskan glacier mountaintops, a fantastic Houseboat parked in a magically beautiful Arizona cove, and so much more.
Today I am barely stopping for this quick five minutes to post this hello, because I am again off to another adventure, this time a Surprise party ;) ;) ;)
And because posts are so much better with photos, here’s a quick preview of last night’s amazing wedding:
I’ve known Katie for probably around seven years now, but only met her in person just two weeks ago. The semi-quick story behind that is we both are members of Solo-Ops, a military wives and girlfriends support forum that has been around for almost ten strong years. I joined around 2003, when my husband Chris and his unit were sent to Iraq for the war. While hardly as active on the forum as I used to be back then, I still remember the amazing support and camaraderie we all formed in the sisterhood of being significant others of servicemen, many of whom were on tour or deployed far away from us. Incidentally, the forums are just as wonderful, and just as supportive, and I highly suggest everyone go check it out.
Anyhow, when Katie sent me an IM sometime in the Fall last year about wanting me to shoot her wedding, I was incredibly stoked! I was humbled not only at the fact that I could meet another of my long time SO buds in person (I’ve met up with several other awesome friends already), but that I would get to travel to Alaska to meet her. And not only was she just as incredibly awesome in person, but so was Wayne, and all of their family and friends. Everyone was so sweet and accommodating, and Chris and I were just so blessed to be a part of it all.
So for those who don’t know where Girdwood is, it’s about a half hour drive from Anchorage. A well known landmark and main attraction in Girdwood is the gorgeous Alyeska Resort– a popular ski resort that many out of state and Alaskans alike enjoy venturing to all year round.
And now enough chatter and on to the photos… let’s start by showing the girls hanging out at the Harmony House B&B:
I love her Romantic Soles heels.. she had them redesigned with bows on the side and they’re so gorgeous:
The lovely bride!
And here’s her handsome groom:
The ceremony and reception were held at this sweet and rustic Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows”:
They make a pretty fabulous looking couple don’t they?!
Check out their amazing cake:
I love their exit from the reception… by the way, in this photo it’s almost 11pm. Seriously, 11 at night.
And if you didn’t believe before when I said their family and friends were FUN:
THANK YOU again Katie and Wayne! We had such a blast with you guys and I’m so happy we finally met in person!
