Petrusa

Brenna & Zach

Crow Creek Mine; Girdwood AK

It’s fairly unusual to have such stunning sunshine in September… but Brenna and Zach were just that lucky! Most of their guests were from out of state and it was chilly enough for them as it was. We Alaskans were celebrating, let me tell ya!

Hundreds of tiny details make up a wedding… And Brenna put her heart and soul into planning this one. So much beauty!

Buttoning all of those little loops takes some time! Brenna’s Maid of Honor was happy to help.

On her wrist, Brenna wore a tiny little bag that held a New Testament that had been passed down through the generations… perfect for this gorgeous ring shot!

…and the letter “P” for Petrusa on the antique typewriter! So much fun!

Amazing! She is just stunning!

The rustic background compliments Brenna’s elegance perfectly!

Crow Creek’s gorgeous trees are the perfect setting for photos!

Oh goodness.. this flower girl isn’t just cute… she is striking with those shining blue eyes. And the tiny cowboy boots… I could swoon!

And then it was time for the ceremony on the upper field.

The little flower girl started with a sweet little walk… but then in her excitement burst into a run!

Awww… she is just so cute!

I saw that! They sneaked a kiss during ceremony… <3

Zach brushes away one of Brenna’s tears of happiness.

The torches kept the bugs away, but they were also really neat! I love the shape of this flame and smoke.

One of the moms made these fun fishing poles with salmon shaped fishes for the guests to hold up and create an archway for Zach and Brenna to exit the ceremony through.

So much joy!

Each placemat was hand made with sweet little stamps… and the antler frames with the loving poems just set the tables off nicely.

Mr & Mrs Petrusa!

Instead of a traditional photo booth.. they had a “shoot your own” silly photo booth. Super fun for guests!

As you can see, Lauren from iDO events did a fantastic job as the day of wedding coordinator. But then again, that is nothing new for her!

Since almost every guest came from afar for the wedding, Jenna had a string to show their journey.

To commemorate each guest’s journey to the Great Land, Brenna and Zach gave out these neat Alaska shaped Christmas ornaments.

First dance:

Check out this gorgeous cake!

Ok, so I have been to many many weddings with Alaska Dream Catoring… and… normally I avoid cake and other treats… But the head chef talked me into trying these custard filled chocolate eggs and HOLY COW… so absolutely delicious. Even yummier than they look!

Zach’s mama cried happy tears through the first dance… this lady is one of the sweetest women I have ever met.

Oh my goodness.. This little guy just LOVED the dancing! 🙂

As darkness began to fall, the lights of the sky tent lit up the night…

There was some important decorating going on… They put up signs saying things like “Spawn till you die” and “Chum’s forever” and other cute things… All attached by magnets. Someone spent a lot of time preparing those things!
