The Cox Wedding

Eric and Amanda were married at the gorgeous Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge on one of the most GORGEOUS days in the summer.

Mount McKinley even showed up for the wedding!  It was stunning! 🙂

After we worked with the “boys” we went in and met up with Amanda and her crew.  Check out this very detailed and thoughtful “Wedding Survival Kit” made by one of her dear friends!  Such a handy thing to have available!

One of Amanda’s bridesmaids did her hair and makeup… Pretty nice job of it too!

Oooh, I just love Amanda’s bling!  She had a hair band and earrings to match!

And check out that diamond!  Well done Eric!

Amanda replaced the traditional white lacing on her gown with ribbons in her wedding theme… many shades of purple!! What a fun way to customize your dress! (Genious!)

Looking good, Lady!

I know I included a bunch of these in the blog… but she is just so beautiful it is hard to choose between them!

These bridesmaids photos are so fun… filled with such personality!

Sweet flower girl…  Itsn’t it awesome that the Iris were blooming just for Amanda’s wedding?  Perfect flower timing!

Ceremony time came and the sun was hot, and the sky was blue!   I love Amanda’s expression as she gets to the end of the aisle.  She is just GLOWING!

Denali was the background for their vows.  So gorgeous!

They took a few moments for friends and family to greet them and wish them a happy life filled with love!

This little peanut / flower girl just stole my heart.  What a sweetie!

Mr. and Mrs. Cox look mighty fine together, if you ask me.

As you will see later… Amanda had a butterfly theme for her wedding, so it was super awesome to catch these beauties on those purple Iris! How perfect is that!

And then off to the beautiful reception under the tents.  It was such a nice treat to not even need them with all that amazing sunshine!

The lovely candy bar was quite a draw… it had a mixture of fresh fruit and other goodies to dip into the purple chocolate fountain!

If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that Amanda and Eric held auditions for their toasts… every single one was hilarious!

The food at the lodge was delicious!

Love that butterfly inspired cake!  What a great personal touch!

Oh yes, they did!  Cake smashers!

The garter was a hilarious moment… Amanda covering her eyes… while the guy looking on with his big mouth in an “o” just crack me up! I love catching little moments like that!

And then it was the end of a very fun filled, sunshine blessed day!
