Wedding Ceremony of Aaron and Kristin Held on Mt. Rainier

Smiles all around when the wedding vows were exchanged.

This very amazing couple decided to exchange their marriage vows at Ricksecker Point.  It was a holiday weekend.  Family and friends flew in from all over the country to converge in Ashford.  They were adventurous folk who shared the weekend together at Dancing Bear Lodge.  Everyone pitched in, got to know each other and generally had a good time.  Then, on the wedding they ventured forth in the rain into Mt. Rainier National Park wearing a mix of dress clothes and hiking shoes/boots.

Although we only caught glimpses of the mountain, Kristin and Aaron's love warmed everyone's heart.  The umbrellas lent a festival touch to the celebration and there was a sense of connection created by the mist.

Oh, and the air was absolutely delicious!!!  So cool and clean.  I couldn't breathe in enough of it.

After the nuptials, the bride and groom headed off for a short hike.  We hope they enjoy endless trails together!!  So fun.  Meanwhile we indulged in wonderful marionberry pie from Copper Creek Inn.

Thanks to Russ, Aaron's uncle,  for the photo!
