Nestled in the enchanting town of Leavenworth, Washington, NaMu Lodge set the stage for Hannah + Michael’s June wedding, a day as beautiful as it was intimate. Leavenworth is known for its Bavarian-inspired charm, framed by majestic mountains, winding rivers, and endless forests. With its alpine terrain and cozy town atmosphere, it’s the perfect destination for couples seeking both natural beauty and a sense of peaceful seclusion. Hannah + Michael began their day with a morning hike, soaking in the tranquil surroundings before joining their families back at the lodge to prepare for the celebration ahead.
Hannah + Michael’s love story was all about finding one another after a winding journey. As Oregon natives, they envisioned a wedding that wasn’t big in guest count but was filled with significance, bringing together only their closest family members—a guest list of under 15. Their vision combined warmth and elegance: they wanted exquisite details, a beautifully curated dinner, and moments that emphasized love and togetherness. Although they were laid-back in spirit, they appreciated the importance of intentional design and lush florals to create a romantic, elevated experience.
Michael’s artistic side shone through in the design of their invitation suite, a minimalistic masterpiece that made just the statement they hoped for. Hannah paired her classic, trend-forward dress from Willowby by Watters with beautiful, carefully chosen accessories, while Michael looked dapper in a tailored tan suit from Ted Baker. Both ensembles reflected their effortless style and attention to detail.
The ceremony took place in one of NaMu Lodge’s most breathtaking spots, where lush trees created a natural frame, grounding the stunning floral arch created by Portland-based florist Brier & Ivy. Hannah + Michael stood before their loved ones, exchanging vows and sealing a lifelong commitment, the arch symbolizing growth and resilience—a perfect backdrop for their promises.
For the reception, The Orange Rabbit served an elevated meal that highlighted seasonal flavors and offered guests an unforgettable dining experience. With a tablescape bathed in soft, romantic lighting, the decor embodied a refined yet earthy aesthetic. Florals were abundant yet understated, balancing natural textures with subtle bohemian accents. The tables were layered with textural linens, velvet napkins, and artfully arranged place settings, making every seat at the table feel like a gift. This reception truly was a designer’s dream.
Krista K Photos captured the day in all its authenticity, skillfully playing with light and shadow to reveal both the intimacy and grandeur of the event. Her artistry, combined with her ability to guide and step back at the perfect moments, allowed her to document the day naturally and beautifully. We love working with Krista because her work is a true reflection of the couples she photographs, and her professionalism brings out the best in each moment.
Hannah + Michael’s wedding was an unforgettable celebration of love, family, and the beauty of simple, intentional design. It was a day that reminded us of the power of thoughtful details, and one that captured the spirit of Leavenworth and the enduring elegance of a well-curated, heartfelt wedding.
