FALL for this autumn wedding with a Nordic ceremony, axe-throwing, and camping
Jessie and Adam’s fall wedding had lots of traditions and symbolism in the Nordic ceremony. The pair and their wedding party carried logs with rune symbols which were burned ceremonially. Burning incense and herbs were sprinkled around the perimeter ceremony site. Adam even hand-built the GORGEOUS ceremony arch structure which had carved Nordic dragons. The night ended with celebrating, ax-throwing, and camping, and we can’t get enough. Just wait until you see the bride’s surprise colored dress underlay, the pumpkin details, and the sheet music and burlap non-floral bouquet.
A canoe entrance, a dock jump, and a breastfeeding mama round out this fab camp wedding
Gus and Ria were married at Camp Moran State Park on Orcas Island, where they camped and partied hard. Some of our favorite parts include the couple’s son Harlan breastfeeding before the wedding, the canoe entrance to the ceremony, and the joyous dock jump after! They quite literally took the plunge. The reception had dancing, s’mores, and even some skinny-dipping. All is right with this wedding.
These two brides had a rustic redwoods wedding (despite a big challenge with some fiddlers!)

Don’t miss the fashion, the tearful impromptu speech at the reception, and the giant Serenity Prayer circle. It’ll move you.
