Josh & Nicole had a beautiful wedding in front of the mountains in Juneau, Alaska at the University of Alaska Southeast! The rose and gray accent colors popped in front of the lush natural foliage, giving the whole day a romantic but natural feel.
This crew was full of laughter and joy from start to finish. The day started getting ready in separate but adjacent classrooms with their wedding parties & close family/friends. We snuck the bride and groom to their first look in the pine trees - I love how moments like the first look let a couple’s personality shine. You can tell these two are best friends that have a good time with each other.
Their ceremony was held in a beautiful covered pavilion on the university’s grounds, overlooking the view. The stunning floral arch in front of the Alaskan mountains in the background made for a breathtaking ceremony backdrop.
After that, Josh & Nicole and I went on an adventure for their bride + groom portraits. We managed to do a little hiking which Nicole rocked in her heels and gown, and I hope they always remember the sweet things they said to each other during that time.
Their reception was a giant dance party with all their friends & family, where Nicole did a traditional dance called the Taualuga or Samoan money dance! It was so fun to watch.
Josh & Nicole, thank you for choosing me to capture your big day! It was so special, and I hope you cherish these photos forever.
