We kayaked and it was so warm with the sun beating down on us! At first I was disappointed because the beach where we were supposed to have our ceremony was completely obscured by fog. We pivoted to the forest and I honestly think it turned out even better. The greenery was so vibrant and our families were so flexible that it made our plan B the dream ceremony I didn%u2019t know I wanted!%u201dFor him: %u201cSeeing Lauren on the Knik glacier for the first time. She was taking a few portrait shots and I got to stand back and admire her amongst this grand scenery. A beautiful girl in a beautiful place. She looked so stunning and we both couldn%u2019t believe how vibrant the blue glacial pools looked in person %u2013 they completely lived up to the hype. That moment reinforced that our wedding was just the first of so many adventures in beautiful places together.%u201dFunniest moment: %u201cDuring our ceremony, Lauren (very confidently) put Matthew%u2019s wedding band on his right hand. No one said anything during the ceremony and it wasn%u2019t until we were having our brunch afterwards and went to take a cute phone pic at the table that Lauren realized!%u201dThree words that best describe their day: %u201cIntimate, luxurious, wild.%u201dIf they had the chance to do it again, what they would do differently: %u201cWe would definitely hire a coordinator, at least for the ceremony day with family!%u201d says Lauren. %u201cI am very type A and even though I was able to manage the curveball the weather threw us, it would have been much less stressful if I had a coordinator do it for me (who probably would%u2019ve foreseen that we needed a third day for everything we wanted to fit in, anyway!).%u201dBest advice for a couple planning their wedding: %u201cDon%u2019t be afraid to do something different! We knew from even before getting engaged that a huge party wasn%u2019t our vibe (we%u2019re always the first to leave a wedding, sorry!). The little details that are unique to your story will make your day so much memorable and they are worth investing in. Every moment of the day will pass so quickly; invest in a photographer to capture every bit of the day (or days!).%u201d
