Read MoreWe had been eagerly anticipating this day from the moment Gather Events Company, our favorite wedding design and planning team in Wyoming (or anywhere really), first reached out to us about our availability for this wedding. Although we shoot multiple events a year in Jackson Hole, this would be our first wedding at the famed Diamond Cross Ranch. Diamond Cross is one of few remaining historic ranches in Teton County, and it’s considered ‘Jackson Hole’s most iconic,’ for good reason too—the view is jaw dropping. Sprawling acres lead the eye to an unobstructed view of Mount Moran, one of many mountains in the Teton range, while a herd of majestic horses graze in the foreground.
Read MoreDanielle and Evan contacted us in 2019 about this incredible dream they had for their wedding in September 2020. However, like so many other couples they were forced to postpone this dream due to the pandemic. The next year came around, and USA/Canadian border restrictions were still in place. Not wanting to compromise any aspect of their dream wedding, they didn’t want to risk it, and decided to postpone a second year. To them, the wait was worth it. In fact, the theme of their day became “can’t rush a good thing.” And their wedding in Fall 2022 was the best thing.

Since they were already going to Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks for vacation, they decided to elope instead in the Tetons. Abigail had been before, and told Alex that it was her favorite place in the world. She envisioned saying vows with the view of the mountains towering over them. And it was everything they imagined it would be. She shared that the peace and connection they felt on their wedding day could not be topped— “We are so glad that we chose to profess our vows to each other and our children in the most beautiful place in the world.”
Read MoreKim requested the best of both worlds—a small ceremony in the valley with her and Brandon’s closest family and fiends, and an epic adventure to commemorate their personal vows. To make this happen, we decided to split their wedding experience into two days.
So, Kim and Brandon held their intimate wedding at Schwabacher Landing on a Monday; and on Tuesday morning, we met at the trailhead at Lupine Meadows to start our ascend on the mountain.
