Leavenworth Sleeping Lady Resort WeddingEliza and Elijah

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.
