The Snowy Wedding At Vance Creek Silverstar Sampler

This was a crazy one. Although I’ve shot at the beautiful Vance Creek before, I’ve never photographed a ceremony in the snow like this. All of the guests had travelled for this wedding, and they weren’t going to be dissuaded by some snow and -8 winds.

I’m getting ahead of myself. We begin at 9am at The Pinnacles Hotel. Snow was everywhere, so I took full advantage.

We always begin with the detail shots. The dress was absolutely classy, and the single large light source from the windows helped me with shading.

Over at the guys house, it was a bustle of activity. Kids and adults were everywhere, helping each other get ready.

A few finishing touches, and our groom was ready.

We debated doing portraits outside, but the snow was coming in from every angle.

I had already set up a photo in the kitchen I was happy with, so I made my way back to the girls room.

The snow was blocking the sunlight, but it was abating. This was good news.

I wasn’t especially worried about the ceremony – a snowy ceremony is something you’d see in storybooks. I was more worried about what it would do to makeup and hair. Fortunately, I didn’t have to worry much longer.

Sensible footwear is a must. All the boots were ready, along with the wedding dress.

And then, we were ready. The snow had slowed down enough, so I could do both an indoor and outdoor portrait.

Over at Vance Creek Hotel, guests were beginning to arrive. There were drinks and towels thoughtfully right at the entrance. The bridal arch, decorated by her mother, looked absolutely stunning.

There’s a few reactions that guys have when they see their wives walking up the aisle. Sometimes guys can hold it back. Sometimes they can’t.

Every guy is a little different.

The ceremony was incredible. The snow seemed to float like smoke in the air.

The first kiss, and then the recessional. Everyone had champaigns, and they all opened them at the end. Lots of cheersing all around, it was absolutely unique and special.

Family photos were a lot of fun.

Outside, our chariot awaited. A horse and carriage had been hired to take us to our next formals spot. It was quite the experience!

The view was incredible. The clouds opened up just long enough to show us the mountains.

This bridal party is a blast too. We had fun.

A few more photos with a very special family member, and we made our way back to the venue for some dinner.

1609 looked amazing. A custom archway, and the table decorations were incredible. Every table had the name of a Silver Star Ski run. That’s how you found your table – it was listed under the run! And we can’t forget the cinnamon bun wedding cake!

Unfortunately, that’s where I’ll have to leave you. This is just a sampler, a sneak peek of the photos from yesterday. The full album will be ready in about three weeks. And it will be incredible.

If you’d like to receive access to the photos once they’re done, please register here. If you’d like to save any of these photos, simply long press on them on your cell phone, or right click on them on your computer. Then select, “Open in new tab” – you’ll be able to save from there.

❋ summary: you’re on vacation in seoul with your best friend, but bad luck takes a toll on you

It was finally summer and you had just graduated from high school. You were set to go into your dream college after your summer vacation. Your parents promised you a trip anywhere you wanted to go, as a reward for your hard work. You’ve always wanted to visit South Korea, so your parents paid for your ticket and you decided to bring one of your best friends along who was Korean and able to help you get around and have a good time with.

“Y/N! I found your suitcase!” Hyejin yelled from the other side of the airport. You look up excitedly, relieved of stress. You thought you’d never see your suitcase again. You ran up to where she stood with your precious suitcase.  “Thank you! Where was it?” You finally stood in front of her.

“It was in the wrong place. It’s okay! At least you have it!” She gave the handle to you and you both make your way out of the airport. “I’ve been having such bad luck ever since we got on the plane.” You look down and question your luck.

“That’s not true!” Hyejin of course being a good friend, tried to comfort you.

“Really? So the four year old that spilled his juice all over me isn’t bad luck? Not being able to use the restroom on the plane isn’t bad luck?” You provide enough evidence for Hyejin to shut up.

“So we’re going to take a taxi to the hotel and then we should go visit my grandparents.” Hyejin changed the conversation swiftly.  “I’m so glad you came - “

You were interrupted by screams which made you and Hyejin turn around quickly. Your first thought was something dangerous, but you were relieved when you saw a swarm of fans surrounding something.

“It’s just an idol. Get used to it, that happens a lot in Seoul.” Hyejin rolls her eyes and continues leading the way out of the airport and you follow.

“I wonder who it thought.” You spoke.

“Seventeen!” The fans chant as if they heard your question.

“There’s your answer.” She scoffed and waved her hand out for a taxi.

As soon as you and Hyejin arrived at the hotel, you changed into a nicer outfit since you were going to meet Hyejin’s grandparents. You wore a flow sun dress and matching sandals.

“Okay, just in case we get lost and you have no way to contact me, remember we always meet back at the hotel.” Hyejin explained as she put her shoes on. “Yes, yes I know.” You felt like Hyejin was your mother.

“You ready to go?” Hyejin stood up and grabbed her purse. “Ready as I’ll ever be.” You grabbed your purse as well and followed Hyejin out of the hotel room.

Hyejin decided to walk and use bus stops to get to her grandparents house so you can see and tour Seoul better. You saw food stands and people smiling. It was a beautiful place, especially with the sun shining on everything, it made you happy. You even forgot about your so-called ‘bad luck’.

“I should’ve used the restroom before we left.” Hyejin stops walking. “It’s okay! Look there’s a park with porte-potties!” You point ahead. Hyejin nods and walks quickly ahead.

She tells you to wait for her and not to wander too far and you nod. You look around and see people jogging, having picnics, flying kites. It was nice.

You look ahead and see the famous Han River. You wanted a better look and began to walk closer. On your way over you here a voice shout, “Watch out!” You turn back quickly and see a man on a bike speeding towards you. You throw your self out of the way landing on all fours. But that didn’t stop the biker from falling as well.

You were wearing your dress so your knees were exposed to the concrete and you were all scrapped up. You groan in pain and immediately rethink your bad luck. You sit on your bottom and examine your scrapes.

You look over to the biker and he was also in pain. “Are you okay? I’m sorry.” his voice was soft and you weren’t expecting him to speak english to fluently. “I think I’ll be okay.” Your skin was freshly exposed to the air and it stung.

“I’m really sorry, I -“ He was interrupted by screams and he quickly turned back. A swarm of fans with cameras were about a good mile away. “Oh no.” He panicked and stood up quickly.

You were confused and looked up at him. “Hop on.” He said quickly. “What?” You asked. You didn’t even know who he was, how were you supposed to hop on his bike. “Unless you want to stay here and be questioned by a ton of girls, I suggest you hop on.” he swung his leg over his bike and waited for a response.

Like an obedient person, you followed his directions and hopped on the bike. He quickly pedaled through the park and you looked back to see the girls get further and further.

That’s when you remember Hyejin. She would worry so much if she couldn’t find you. “Wait! Where are we going? I have someone waiting for me!” You shout so he could hear you over the loud city, but he didn’t respond.

he eventually stopped in a wide alley and he was breathing heavily. “I’m sorry I had to take you.” He gets off the bike and waits for you to get off before letting it go. “I would feel bad if I left you there injured. And then all the carats would stop you and ask you questions and maybe even assault you.” He spoke between breaths as he was still trying to catch his breath.

You were no longer angry, understanding his kind intentions, but you were confused. “Carats?”

He met your eyes and laughed to himself. “My name is Joshua, and I’m in a - “ He paused and looked at you. He studied your features and looked so mesmerized. “You’re in a ?” You waited for him to continue.

“I’m in a boy group known as Seventeen. Since you’re a foreigner, I trust that you wouldn’t know anything about k-pop, but I could be wrong, we have a lot of international fans.” He explained and it all made sense to you.

“So those carats are the fans? I mean, the fans are carats? Like the vegetable?” You laugh and he joined you. “No, but let’s get you inside and cleaned up, I feel really bad.” He walks towards the only door in the alley and you follow. “This is where you live? An idol like you lives here?” You follow him inside and you see all the stairs you have to walk. “Don’t worry, there’s an elevator.” Joshua points over to the corner, and you’re relieved.

“And yes, I live here with my friends.” He answers late as the elevator doors close.

You dig into your purse and look for your phone to call Hyejin. However, the deeper you search, you can’t feel your phone at all. You begin to panic and Joshua looks over. “What’s wrong?”

“I can’t find my phone.” You look in your purse and find nothing. “I think I dropped it when I fell.” You lean back on the elevator wall and take a deep breath. “I really am cursed with bad luck. Ever since I got here in Seoul, nothing but bad luck.” You rub your temples and Joshua just giggles silently to himself.

“It’s not funny! I’m serious!” You whine.

“I’ll let you use my phone.” Joshua says after he laughs. The elevator doors open and it reveals a big loft. You see a bunch of boys running around and shouting. Once they look over they all freeze.

“Joshua brought a girl!” One of them shouts.

“I’m sorry, they’re always like this.” He sighs and takes your hand which surprises you. He leads you into the loft and into the bathroom. “Wait here while I get the first aid kit.” He walks out leaving the door open and you sit on the toilet seat.

You look at your scrapes, you had forgotten all about them. You were too busy thinking about Joshua. He was so sweet and so kind. You were lucky he spoke English because if he didn’t, you’d be struggling.

You hear a knock and look up to see an unfamiliar face. “So you’re the lucky girl Joshua brought home huh?” Your cheeks flush because this stranger was just as handsome as Joshua.

“I’m Hansol by the way, but they call me Vernon.” He smiles and you introduce yourself as well. Soon enough, more boys come behind Vernon and take peeks at you.

“Guys! Leave her alone!” You hear Joshua’s voice come and you’re somewhat happy to hear a familiar voice. The boys clear out and reveal Joshua with the first aid kit. “Again, I apologize for them. They’re very extra.” He closes the door behind him and opens the kit.

“So why are you in Seoul?” He bends down to your level as he opens the kit. “I just graduated high school and it was a reward to travel.” You explain and Joshua nods understandingly.

“I’m sorry you have to go through this when you’re supposed to be on vacation.” He says softly as he disinfects your scrapes. “Don’t worry about it, it’s not a bad thing meeting you.” You said subconsciously. Your words caused both you and Joshua to blush and he puts a band aid on both knees.

“Here’s my phone, you can call whoever you needed to.” Joshua kindly lets you use his phone and leaves you in the bathroom alone for privacy.

You dial Hyejin’s number and she doesn’t pick up. She probably didn’t recognize Joshua’s number and didn’t answer. You sigh loudly not knowing what to do.

You walk out of the bathroom to find Joshua and return his phone. You see Joshua leaning against the counter and laughing with his friends and he looked so attractive. His smile made the whole room brighter than it already was.

“Did they answer?” Joshua notices your presence and walks up to you. “No, but I’ll just go back to the hotel and wait for her there.” You give Joshua his phone back.

“Anyways, thanks for everything, it was nice meeting you all.” You smile and walk back to the elevator. “Do you know your way around Seoul to make it to the hotel?” Joshua calls after you and you stop in your tracks.

You thought it’d be easy as pie to go back to the hotel without trouble, but you forgot you were in Seoul. You weren’t in your home country where everything was easy.

“Wouldn’t it be burden if you helped me? I don’t want to ask too much.” You spoke honestly.  

“I don’t mind! It’s the least I can do for knocking you over.” Joshua joined you in the wait for the elevator to open. “Thank you Joshua.” You smiled warmly and he returned the gesture.

When Joshua’s friends bid you both goodbye, you walk into the elevator. Having Joshua next to you was comforting and it was crazy to think that after you’ve only known him for two hours.

“You know I’m not taking you to the hotel right?” Joshua spoke. “Hmm?”

“Since you said you’ve had so much bad luck, I’m going to show you a good time in Seoul.”
