I’ve done a few wedding in Leavenworth WA, but none as fun as this Sleeping Lady Resort Wedding! Settled along the Icicle River in Leavenworth this all inclusive resort features sweeping views of the mountains and river valley. Eliza and Elijah planned an all-inclusive get away for their closest friends and family, with a weekend full of fun activities. It was one of those weddings that I was truly jealous of the guests! What I loved about this couple was their obvious affection for each other as well as their love for their friends. It was literally hard for me to break them away from the party to photograph just the two of them. My favorite images from the day are undoubtedly from the ceremony where their emotions truly came out. I also loved that they did some awesome karate and broke some boards in half as a symbol of them moving onto a new chapter in their lives.

A quick pow wow before the big ceremony.
I love the emotions Natasha captured when the dad saw his little girl for the first time. 
A little dramatic light! I love this one. 
Not sure, but I think she may be excited!
This is not the actual “first kiss” they totally cheated!
Elijah killed it!
Seriously awesome. Love the board caught in mid air!
We can all remember the “joy” of taking family photos when we were 3 year old. 
The bride and groom receive toasts during the reception. 
I finally got Elijah and Eliza away from the party to do a quick portrait session. 
This bridesmaid was so happy to help. And so cute!

A trademark “blue light photos” as the sun goes down.

Love this face!
Love this super dramatic light!
I love it when the couple is on the dance floor ALL NIGHT!
We had so much fun doing this wedding. We hope to get back to Sleeping Lady Resort again some day.
