At a 4th of July party on Lake Chelan two years ago, Travis saw Karissa from afar and thought she was absolutely stunning. That lead to an evening of conversation & getting to know each more and before long, they were inseparable. After being together long distance (605 MILES), they only went 2.5 weeks without seeing each other at the most. And fast forward two years later… on July 22, 2023 they made conventional vows & promises to each other & to God before all of their loved ones and became husband and wife. No more long distance, no more waiting… it’s official! And we could not be more excited for Mr. & Mrs. Olsen!
Travis & Karissa’s Harmony Meadows wedding was truly a French garden work of art. The venue, the flowers (THE FLOWERS), the food, the guests, the colors, the vendor team, the weather, everything was just simply perfect. We loved getting to work with all their friends and family and alongside such a fabulous vendor team. Everyone had the same plan in mind- to give Karissa & Travis a day they would never forget!
Karissa & Travis are truly just as sweet as can be. We have loved getting to know them through the past year and are looking forward to growing in friendship with them. Their shared love for God is such an encouragement to us. We see how He truly had His hand upon every detail of their beautiful story & in their commitment to one another. This day was absolutely a day to rejoice in. In Karissa’s vows, she shared this verse:
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
We were honored to not only photograph this beautiful day, but to also have the privilege of being witnesses to such a precious wedding ceremony. God is so good, we are very thankful for the many blessings that came from this truly wonderful day. We are especially thankful for the “cord of three strands” that they share with the Lord- for it will not be quickly broken!
