Snowy Winter Wedding at the Sleeping Lady Resort in Leavenworth

Drag me!

On their 2nd anniversary, I knew it was high time I finally got around to posting my favorite images from Gavin & Rachael’s wedding at The Sleeping Lady Resort in Leavenworth, Washington.  I may be biased towards these two, as Gavin has been a close friend for years and when he found Rachael she was so clearly the perfect person for him.  Not only that, they chose to get married where my husband and I were also married AND asked me to photograph it.  Clearly, I hit the jackpot with this duo.

Rachael & Gavin filled their mountain wedding with meaningful details that I was instantly obsessed with – like the wraps that Rachael hand made for each bridesmaid.  I may have been trying to figure out how to sneak away with her long baby blue peacoat that she wore for some of their portraits because it’s so dang cute.  And their corgi, Mr. Dog, joined them for some portraits, too. 

Rachael & Gavin – Happy Anniversary and thank you so much for having me along for such an important part of your story two years ago in the Cascade Mountains.  I know you both grow closer together and more in love every day and I know you will be happy together forever.  Love you guys!

The Sleeping Lady in Leavenworth, Washington is my favorite venue – which makes sense since I was married there, am I right? 🙂 But I’m also permanently in love with snowy winter weddings and hope that I get to add more of them to my calendar soon.

ready to tell your story?

Hi, I’m alex! A seattle wedding photographer who’s been documenting your stories since 2009.

I fell in love with photography almost 20 years ago in a darkroom class, and that love has never faded. What started as a darkroom class in college turned into photographing my first wedding solo in 2010,and I was hooked. The joy. The emotion. The vows. The details. The people.

I realized quickly that my fulfillment came from helping people see themselves in a beautiful, honest way. I move calmly. I guide confidently. I know how to capture all the angles and candid moments without you even noticing. My couples often say I have “photo superpowers” because of how much I capture while still keeping everything feeling easy and low-pressure.


Some photographers find wedding days chaotic.

I find them electric.
