It took me a long time to process just how great this Kiana Lodge wedding was. The couple was super organized and had a really clear vision of how they wanted their day to feel, but they also knew how to let their hair down and have FUN! Here’s my wrap-up of the day with […]

There’s a brutal truth about weddings in the Pacific Northwest: the weather outside of July 5th (trust me on the 5th) and Labor Day is a total crapshoot. Well, Eric and Keely struck gold with their early May wedding with a glorious, sunny and warm day at the iconic Kiana Lodge.

The funny thing about working at a venue as often as I’m at Kiana Lodge is that  you get the same space as imagined by different couples. I just love seeing the spin each couple puts on the already gorgeous Kiana Lodge, and these guys really went all-out for this amazing fall wedding. 

Sometimes you just get a good vibe about a wedding. Maybe the couple just has that certain personality. Or maybe its the guests as they start showing up. My gut rarely fails me though, and this time it was spot on. This wedding was going to be pure magic!

If you’ve spend much time in the Pacific Northwest, you know that the length of a day changes drastically through the year. In December, it can seem like it’s 8pm all day long and it will be pitch black by 4:30. In the summer, however, we get our payback!

Every once in a while, you have a wedding at the right venue with the right couple and the right guests. Well, that was last night! I love the Garden Atrium at Kiana Lodge! All timber framing is amazing and the acoustics are really great. You can really rock out that dancefloor!
