Alaska has few days like the one that we enjoyed for Leslie and Ryan’s wedding… it was hot, pure and simple. We Alaskans enjoy it, but always wilt a little in the heat.

The wedding was at the Forget Me Not Nursery in Indian, Alaska… and it was gorgeous! The caretakers have stunning flowerbeds and lots of gorgeous places for photos!
