We met Garrett and Stephen on a very cold day in January when they took Kales and I to Kings Mountain Retreat for the first time. The temp had barely risen above -20 degrees fahrenheit and I just remembering being VERY cold and VERY in awe of the beauty of this special place. Eight months later it was not exactly the Autumn Equinox celebration these two were expecting, but I was sure happy to be there to capture a few moments of their love.
When you have to take a handtram across a river to get to the gorgeous Alaskan cabin backdrop for this celebration of love, you know it’s going to be a good day. Alaska’s colors were popping, the trees looked alit with gold and sepia tones and the air had that crisp chill that makes us love fall so much. Garrett & Stephen donned their velvet jacket and kilt respectively and rings embossed with Alaskan gold and shared a few romantic moments, and posed for some truly magnificent photographs. We sipped some cocktails, ate a delicious cheese course, soup homemade bread and laughed by the crackling campfire with wine and hot toddy’s in hand. It was an honor to be in this moment with you two and I can’t wait to continue to celebrate your love in the years to come!
