Jackson Hole Wedding | Teton National Park Wedding Photographer Patrick and Stephanie

February 18, 2021

Their Story

Stephanie and Patrick met at a bar through mutual friends and had their first date over sushi. Two years into dating, they traveled to Sweden for a summer vacation during which they had a layover in Paris. With this in mind, Patrick planned their stay at the Shangri-La Hotel, which had an amazing balcony in view of the Eiffel Tower. When they arrived he surprised Stephanie with champagne and macaroons and ultimately popped the question. Since Stephanie and Patrick fell in love with Jackson Hole on a previous trip, they knew it was where they wanted to have their destination wedding.

The Wedding

They immediately hired Hilary J. Events for the purpose of planning their destination Jackson Hole wedding. They planned a bohemian luxury wedding for October 12th in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to celebrate with their closest family. After that, they celebrated in their hometown of St Louis. Hilary chose one of my favorite florists in Jackson Hole, Flowers by Chloe, her bouquets are so gorgeous, and they added the perfect touch to the intimate dinner celebration.

As you can see, I love being a part of such intimate celebrations. There is something so special about celebrating your wedding with those that are closest to you. This was the kind of wedding that I didn’t want to end. I loved working with these two and could photograph their wedding over and over.

Of course, I was so excited when Rocky Mountain Bride wanted to publish this Jackson Hole wedding in their national magazine! They are the perfect couple to feature!

Jackson Hole Winter Anniversary Photo Shoot | Jackson Hole Photographer

February 13, 2020

A Winter Anniversary

To say I am in love with this winter anniversary shoot in Jackson Hole is an understatement. These two were so much fun to work with, even though it was 2 degrees! Winters in Jackson Hole are freezing but beautiful and totally worth going out in it to get photos like these! If you dress right, it will make it so much easier. I am obsessed with her grey turtle neck from Zara with her green coat! She also brought along her beautiful Gigi Pip hat and thought it was so cool. I grew up in the same neighborhood as the founder of Gigi Pip! Hats can be such a fun accessory on your photoshoots!

Tatiana is a fantastic photographer in Boston, and she knows how important photos are. These two arrange to have a photoshoot in all of the places that they visit; they have done shoots in Spain, Bora Bora, Puerto Rico… and now Jackson Hole! We started in the town square for their photos after we first went to a secluded little place by the river and ended at sunset at one of the scenic points on the outer road of Grand Teton National Park. It is such a fun idea to have your photos taken while you are on vacation, as well as a great way to remember your trip and to create images with memories! All of the pictures will make a beautiful collage in your home to remember all of your adventures together.

These two have such a sweet love and I had so much fun watching them interact. They are so madly in love!

Turpin Meadows Wedding | Jackson Hole Wedding Photographer

February 3, 2020

Jackson Hole Wedding Photographer

Dave and Grace celebrated their wedding in the summer in one of their favorite places; Jackson Hole. Grace and Dave live in San Francisco but come back to the mountains as much as possible. They started their wedding weekend with a Barbeque on Friday night at the Hatchet Resort; they invited their closest friends and family to join. After a delicious western BBQ, some of their family and friends toasted the couple. I have never heard such eloquent and well thought out toasts! They talked about the outdoor adventures that they have had with the couple, and everyone talked about how kind and generous they both are. Dave and Grace have some lovely friends and family that adore them dearly.

Grace’s mom helped plan a lot of the details, and everything came together perfectly! The peonies were so beautiful in her bouquet and as the centerpieces.

Grace got ready in her parent’s cabin at Turpin Meadows; it was the cutest little place in the woods. After she finished getting ready with her closest girlfriends and her mother, they headed down the mountain for her ceremony by the river. Her dad drove her down to the ceremony in her grandmother’s old Toyota Land Cruiser; it was the perfect entrance! It couldn’t have been a better day for them to say I Do! I love Grace’s expression before and after their first kiss, her excitement and love is so beautiful!

Dinner was served in the tent by the lodge; they had more beautiful toasts. I wish I had copies of the toasts; they were so touching. After cutting the cake, everyone went into the lodge and danced the night away!
