Lee & Karl’s Winter Wedding at Airlie Center

airlie-center-12

What a weird winter we are having.  Yesterday was a 70 degree day in February, and I’ve only seen snow twice so far this winter.  Fortunately, for Lee & Karl, one of those snow days just happened to be their wedding day.  Lee and Karl are snowboard enthusiasts who hosted a ski-themed winter wedding for their family and friends.  So while we did snowy portraits of the two of them outside, their adorable cake of two snowboarders at the top of a slope waited inside (to be admired and eaten later in the evening :)  Snow was a much more appreciated outcome than the 90% chance of rain meteorologists were calling for, so we felt very, very lucky.  Otherwise, I never would have seen Lee’s adorable snow boots.  :)

Many thanks to my good friend, Kim Seidl, who helped out at this wedding and Kelley Cannon, who did a fabulous job with the day-of coordination.  Congratulations, Lee & Karl!!!

Lee & Karl saw each other before the ceremony so they would have enough time for daylight portraits. :)
