Amanda & Will | Anchorage Weddings

28 Aug

A beautiful wedding on a gorgeous day was celebrated recently out at the Hilltop Chalet.  Will, the groom, gave a quick speech after the toasts which reminded me exactly of why I love weddings so much.  He spoke of the great opportunity we have on wedding days to be surrounded by our closest friends and our extended family members and a room full of people who are genuinely happy to be there.  This is one of the great treasures of photographing weddings — the opportunity to be around a couples most  cherished friends on a day filled with anticipation, excitement, unbounded love and endless smiles!

Congratulations to Will and his beautiful bride, Amanda!
