A Skagway Fourth

If there is ever a place you wish to visit for an extraordinary Fourth of July experience, make it Skagway. 

The day is filled with parades, hot dog and pie eating contests, arm wrestling, slow bike races, ducky derbies, dancing, music and the list goes on and on.  But for those of you who can't make it to the last frontier any time soon, photos will have to suffice. Enjoy! 

Deanne & Rob: Smuggler's Cove

Skagway is a tourism town. As such, we see a handful of cruise ship weddings every summer. Brides and grooms step off of their Norwegian or Carnival ship, some dressed in traditional garb, and others in jeans and a button-down shirt. Either way, the weddings are quick and generally small, which is a breath of fresh air after shooting so many huge wedding parties.
Deanne and Rob were a joy to work with - completely laid back and full of love for one another. We ventured to a secret spot near Smuggler's Cove, and hiked up to a secluded vista on top of a mountain, with a beautiful view of the bay below. The ceremony lasted only a few minutes and was followed by the cutting of the cake, the popping of champagne and the clicking of my camera as we wandered around the forest taking photos.
I am so happy that I was able to be a part of this beautiful couple's most wonderful day. Enjoy the photos!
