Looking back to the very first email Katrin sent over, there's no doubt her wedding day planned out just as she had hoped for. She wanted a tiny intimate wedding (with good people and food) at her parent's "cozy and super boho chic" home. Scroll down to see their BEST DAY EVER.

"...the entire wedding was our favorite. It surpassed all of our expectations! We loved that my dad forgot to give me away, it took my mom calling out his name to get him off the step. Our vows brought each of us to tears, I love how much I love him. Having both our families and closest friends in the beautiful home my dad built for my mom for one big dinner." -Katrin

First-look

Katrin really wanted snow for her photos. It was so sweet to see her friends make that happen. It involved shoveling a trail for her to walk down on. Transition though the photos below to see a friend in action.

Future goals: "Some future goals we have include seeing as much of Alaska in the next 6 months and seeing as much of the world as we can for the rest of our lives. We hope to ski, climb, love, and laugh." -Katrin
