I’ve looked forward to Bodie & Rachels’s Southwest Style New Mexico Wedding since they booked! Bodie is a blacksmith by trade and so it was no surprise that the bridal party bouquets were custom made by him.

The day of the wedding it poured rain, it hailed and it thundered. But it didn’t do any of that when it came time for this New Mexico ranch wedding ceremony.

Nolan and Julia had #onebellofawedding on the beautiful rolling farm where Julia was raised in Pennsylvania. When I met these two for their Texas engagement session I loved hearing their story. And that story came to life as we walked through the wedding day…”This is the spot where I snuck out to make out with Nolan after dark…and got caught.”

I was obsessed with this Red Bluff California Ranch Wedding before I ever got there. Not only because I fell in love with Cole & Elsie during their Moab Utah Engagement session, but also because I’d been watching from afar as Elsie and her planner Jodi of CES Weddings shared behind the scenes stories of their preparations.  Their creation […]

After you see the wedding dress-shot with Sophie the Holstein heifer…you’ll have to agree with me Zeb & Joren have a thing for “show-stealing” holsteins. And while this isn’t remotely a “Dairy Wedding”, if you read their story on their engagement session blog, you’ll understand why it was perfectly fitting that Piper, the matriarch milk cow, attended this ranch wedding ceremony. And I’m not even kidding you, she bawled (mooed) at all the right parts. 

Jesse & Trissta planned a small, simple, laid-back wedding day surrounded by their closest friends and family. Their standing-ceremony took place at the foot of the Grand Teton Mountains, followed by a hike along String Lake where it all started…meeting through mutual friends while tubing on Leigh Lake.

They got ready in their childhood homes just down the road from each other, shared the most touching first look in the meadow near where they will build their first home, were officiated by their dads and surrounded the entire day with friends and family who were simply beaming as these two started the next chapter of their lives together. 

It wasn’t just the high mountain allergies making the onlookers sniff during this ceremony. Neither was it the sun making their kids and grandkids eyes water. It was the way Chane and Amy looked at each other during their meaning-filled, non-traditional ceremony where they were attended by their children, danced and shared their story (which you can read more of from their engagement)…setting the stage for their vows to each other and their families.  

She’s a world traveling author and speaker from New York…and he’s a career military man based out of Miami. After being introduced to each other by their parents, Nelson and Nikki fell in love, had the beach wedding of their dreams and set out on a road trip of a lifetime…having sessions shot at some of their favorite places like San Fransisco, and the Las Vegas strip.
