Anneleise and Tyler were lucky dogs. You know how much snow most of America got this year? Well, Alaska only had about one day of that. We Alaskans are used to quite a bit more to put it mildly. So when a couple schedules a winter wedding they kinda expect their day to be graced with some of that white stuff. Fortunately it worked out for these two…. but they are about the only ones that it did!
Beautiful Anneleise started her day at a friends lovely home where they accentuated her beautiful soul with some outward decorations.

Her eyes just sparkle!
…which perfectly matches her jewelry.

Anneleisa had scoped out a great spot just up the road for some pretty winter time photos. It was a great idea!

That snow just kept coming!! It was gorgeous!

What a fun idea for a winter wedding! They had brought in some trees and hung hundreds of hand made paper snow flakes and doilies and created an indoor wintery scene. It was pretty epic!

Anneleise had one of the most simple yet gorgeous receptions I have ever seen. She brought a few items for each table, but all of her lady friends each took charge of the dishes for a table. It was so fun to see the ideas that everyone came up with!

And then it was time for the first dance. It was so sweet. Many tears were shed.

I talked these two into heading outside for some gorgeous outdoor photos after dark! I love how they turned out! Hopefully it was worth their frozen feet and cold noses!
