The second we saw this amazing wedding photographed by Hillary Maybery, we knew we wanted to feature it. Not only is the bride absolutely gorgeous, but they had custom designed skateboards with their wedding logo for each of the groomsmen, and a cheesecake bar to boot.

Here are some details from Lydia: Luke and I met in Ketchum, Idaho, at a local watering hole called The Casino, in Feb 2003. Luke was born and raised in the Sun Valley Area. I moved to Sun Valley in 1996, from Seattle, where I was born and raised. He proposed on Christmas Day, 2007.

While we were planning our wedding, I wanted a small destination wedding.. somewhere tropical with our families. Luke was very passionate about having a large wedding with all of our friends and family. Growing up in such a small community, everyone becomes family- it’s very unique and special. So we decided to have a big, yet intimate wedding in Hailey, Idaho. Our wedding had 250 guests! Luke and I both wanted to have a mellow wedding where everyone felt comfortable and welcome. We decided to have an outdoor garden ceremony and BBQ style wedding at a private residence- his families properties. I did not want a wedding planner, we both wanted it to be very personal and homemade. It was fun meshing both of our personalities together into this wedding. I like pretty things, and he is a total skater boy.

Luke’s mom, sister, Luke, and I  planned the entire event. There were so many little details.. here are a few:
• Luke designed custom skateboards for his groomsmen. He drew two love birds with two hearts and had our names, wedding date, and location printed on the decks.
• My wedding rings were rubies and diamonds- I wanted rubies because it is Luke’s birthstone.
• I am half Japanese, so we handed out white Japanese paper fans to guests. On the dinner tables, we had fuscia and orange paper fans for decorations along with blue vases with colorful flowers for centerpieces.
• Our officiant, Luke’s best friend since infancy and best man, read our vows out of a Thrasher Magazine. Neither one of us are religious, and Thrasher is Luke’s “bible”.
• The old turquoise truck in the pictures in Luke’s “man truck”. He is kind of an old soul and loves old things. He wanted to include it in the wedding to get a real “Idaho” feeling.
• We had 8 ‘angels” in our wedding. These were 7 boys who are very close to us and who we love very much- they ranged in ages 4-10. The 8th angel was our dog, Satori, our giant love-able Malamute/Husky.
• For the cocktail hour before the wedding, we had drinks and appetizers available. We set up “mini living rooms” all around the property for guest to mingle with- BEAUTIFUL! Just imagine being in the mountains, blue skies, rugged terrain, aspens, wildflowers, and just chillin with a yummy drink and snack!
• We both aren’t crazy about cake, so we decided on cheesecake! We had a cheesecake bar- toppings included fresh raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries.. All locally grown in Idaho.
