American-Scandinavian Wedding at Chalet View Lodge
Chelsea and Kristian have a lot in common with us, Rob and M. The main thing we have in common is the American - Scandinavian relationship, as Kristian is from Denmark and M from Sweden.
Chelsea and Kristian both have a deep passion for travel and are always on the go, exploring new places both in the United States and abroad. In fact, they have traveled to every continent together except Antarctica. They value the experience of immersing themselves in different cultures, trying new foods, learning about history, and appreciating art and architecture. Some of their favorite destinations include Mongolia, Rwanda and Tanzania, Peru, and Denmark.
On their wedding day, Chelsea and Kristian wanted to bring together elements from both their cultures. They had signs and displays in both English and Danish languages, reflecting their mixed backgrounds. They also treated their guests to candy jars at their seats, as Scandinavians love their candy. The day was filled with brightness and joy, blending their American and Scandinavian influences seamlessly.
When searching for a photographer for their wedding, Chelsea and Kristian came across VILD Photography through Love in the Lost Sierra. Their wedding planner, Paulette, also recommended VILD separately. They were immediately drawn to VILD's portfolio, as it captured the exact style and emotions they were looking for. They wanted their wedding photos to encapsulate the excitement and happiness of the day, allowing them to relive those moments for years to come. What truly impressed them, however, was VILD's personal touch and genuine care. Even through email communication, VILD went above and beyond to answer all their questions and provide thorough explanations. This made Chelsea and Kristian feel valued and appreciated, and they want to reciprocate that by putting thought and effort into every detail they share with VILD.
Overall, Chelsea and Kristian's wedding was a beautiful blend of their American and Scandinavian backgrounds. Their love for travel and exploration, as well as their attention to detail, made their day truly special.
