A Matter Of Taste at Tapawingo Wedding | Kim + Erik | By Luke
Kim + Erik had a unique wedding that embraced the nostalgia of the area where Kim grew up. “Tapawingo is 5 minutes from my family’s cabin where I spent a lot of time growing up before I moved west. This area is my favorite place in the world, and after 5 years of visiting with me every year, it’s now Erik’s favorite place too. He proposed to me on my parent’s dock two summers ago, and we knew this was the only place to exchange our vows and commit to each other forever.”
The morning of the wedding, Kim’s sister led a yoga class for her and her friends, which was a calming and centering experience. They also had coffee together, setting the tone for the day. “I got ready on the front porch, taking in my favorite view and watching my cousin’s kids run around in the forest with my dog. I felt so lucky to be there with my sister, mom, and cousin around me. It was slow and then it went SO FAST! And then it was time to get the dress on and do my first look with Erik.”
Right before the first look, Kim reminded herself, “Remember, it’s just me!” It was a beautiful reminder that it was just the two of them, starting their forever together.
Family and friends shared their reflections on Kim + Erik as individuals and as a couple which became a very impactful moment for the couple. “There was even a loon behind us for the whole day from when photos started to the end of the ceremony. That loon lives on our lake and flew over for the celebration — I looked up the symbolism of the loon after the ceremony, and a few things that stood out was devotion and divine presence. We think the loon was my grandparents and uncle Peter who were visiting us throughout the whole ceremony.”
Congratulations, Kim & Erik! What a beautiful day indeed it was.
