Luxury Wedding at Scandia Inn - McCall, Idaho | Miso + Travis

Amy Isacson February 9, 2023

Scandia Inn

Miso and Travis picked the Scandia Inn as their destination wedding venue in McCall, ID for very good reason. These days, Scandia is the IT spot for couples with its ideal amenities. Scandia has undergone a fantastic transformation from its original look in the 1970s as Finish homesteaders style mountain ski cabins to what is today. It definitely maintains that mountain cabin feel, yet boasts high-end finishes and luxurious bedding which is a welcome to our little town. It’s a smaller venue, with that small-town feel yet high end class. The new managers, Jess and Aaron, are super friendly and accommodating.


Wedding Vision

When Miso and Travis reached out and described their vision, I knew their day would be indeed special and their wedding was my EXACT vibe. As an Idaho wedding photographer, I see a lot of different wedding styles. This past year especially, there was a wide range of venues and visions! That’s also what I enjoy so much about what I do. I don’t really know what I’m in for until I show up on the day of. Sure, there is a lot of back and forth with my questionnaire and I have an overall sense of the look, but that feeling when arrive and go ok now I get it! This is what it all has been leading up to is honestly one of the most fun parts of my job. I get to capture every part of it. From the small details, to the simple interactions and the big moments!!

Miso and Travis envisioned their day at Scandia Inn to be modern, clean and simple, I knew I’d be in for a treat. And indeed I was! As a first-generation Korean-American, Miso wanted to incorporate her heritage into their wedding. Her mother wrote a touching letter to her in Korean which was also translated into English. She also wore a beautiful traditional red Korean hanbok and looked absolutely stunning.

They were determined to do it all themselves (she did her hair + makeup effortlessly while chatting with her bridal party). And they were committed to having a good time. Miso sent over a timeline that was super organized and I so appreciated. We sorted out the details together and decided to include a separate location for the first look. The only thing I had to come up with was a fun first-look location. The day ended up being very hot and it snowed the following week! Mountain weather - go figure! They were such troopers. I encouraged them to bring a change of shoes and they were like yeah, no. So we hiked around the rocks in the heat and did our beautiful thing.

Details

They had a very small and intimate wedding and invited about 50 family and friends. Every detail was absolutely perfect. Guests dressed in their finest black attire, as did the wedding party; giving it a cosmopolitan feel. The ceremony took place on the lawn adjacent to Scandia, below the towering pine trees. Travis comes from a very large family and his dad was the officiant. One of my favorite photos from the ceremony was immediately after Travis had walked up to the alter and was facing his dad, awaiting Miso to walk down the aisle. The two of them were talking to each other, father to son, as Travis was about to marry his bride.

My other favorite moment was immediately following this private father-son moment, when Miso walked down the aisle with her mother and father. The look on Miso’s face says it all. So emotional!! Their wedding ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt.

Miso knew she wanted a white rose petal tossing after their first kiss. It was fabulous to see them get absolutely blanketed with them!!

Once the sun began to set, the string lights criss-crossed the lawn and were aglow and the candlight inside the lodge set the scene for a clean reception space, complete with a white-washed brick wall. White florals, lovely place-settings and clean everything. The first dances were especially touching, and after Miso and her dad danced, there was not a dry eye in the house.

Reception


The reception dance party was a blast, and I always love the cut- loose time at weddings. I stole Miso and Travis away for a few final outside shots before the sun officially set. These casual, blurry shots may well be my favorite of all. It depicts a happy duo, relaxed and carefree. They are finally married and SO IN LOVE.

We finished things up with a sparkler exit back where it all began under the big tall trees. A beautiful day and night, in all ways.

Scandia Inn set the stage for this couple to celebrate this momentous day in the most glorious way. I am honored to have been witness to the love story between Miso and Travis. If you ever want to do it right in the heart of beautiful McCall, ID - THIS is the place. I look forward to returning to Scandia Inn again this next year!! x

As always - so grateful for my couples who trust in me. Love you, Miso + Travis.
