Carolyn + Joe. A Tierra Retreat Wedding in Leavenworth.

A Dreamy Mountain Celebration

Capturing Carolyn and Joe’s wedding at Tierra Retreat Center in Leavenworth was an absolute dream. Their summer celebration against the stunning backdrop of the Leavenworth mountains created an idyllic atmosphere to complement their love story.

Embracing the Summer Camp Vibes

From the moment I met Carolyn and Joe, I knew their wedding would be special. They chose Tierra Retreat Center not just for its breathtaking scenery, but for its inviting summer camp vibes. Many of their guests stayed onsite, turning their wedding into a weekend-long celebration filled with laughter and camaraderie.

A Family Heirloom Gown

One of the most memorable moments was seeing Carolyn in her grandmother’s wedding gown. This gown, a true family heirloom, has been worn by four brides in her family. Carolyn added her own unique chapter to its history. Photographing her in this cherished dress was a privilege!

Glowing Praise from the Couple

Working with Carolyn and Joe was an absolute delight. Their kind words about our collaboration mean the world to me: “Working with Julia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! We LOVE our photos!!! From our initial meeting with her, to our engagement photos, and throughout our wedding day, Julia was an absolute delight, professional, and made us feel so comfortable. She was always on top of email communication, provided tips and guidance when we asked for it, and delivered our final wedding photos within a month, in a thoughtfully organized website that we could share with friends and family, and download. Julia was our first choice for photographers and we were totally over the moon that she joined us for our wedding.”

Exceptional Vendors for an Exceptional Day

The day was impeccably planned by Colleen Simpson Weddings, who ensured every detail was perfect, making my job that much easier. The catering by Chef’s Edge Wenatchee was exceptional, providing a delightful culinary experience that matched the overall excellence of the event.

A Celebration of Love and Tradition

Carolyn and Joe’s Tierra Retreat wedding was a true celebration of love, family, and tradition. The beautiful mountain setting and their heartfelt approach to the weekend created a magical atmosphere. Their wedding reminded me why I love what I do and the connections that make these moments so special.

For anyone considering a Tierra Retreat wedding, Carolyn and Joe’s experience showcases the incredible potential of this venue.
