A Two-Day Celebration Full of Giggles, Red Bull, and Epic Dancing
This couple is absolutely full of life! Young, deeply in love, and not afraid of a little PDA, they radiate joy to everyone around them and giggles seem to follow them everywhere. Their wedding weekend was nothing short of pure fun and magic!
The first look
The day before the wedding, we headed into the mountains for a quiet first look with an incredible view. The bride's dress was gorgeous and sooo poofy. To make the journey up the mountain a little more comfortable, the bride opted to change into her dress once she arrived at the location. Her mom and sister were more than prepared for this! They rolled out a rug right there next to the car and crafted her a make shift room out of blankets for privacy. Genius.
The groom’s reaction? Perfect. First came a simple, heartfelt “wow.” Then giggles. Then the bride giggled. And just like that, a full-on giggle chain reaction ensued! We, the photo and video team, happily stepped back to let them have their moment while we captured every love-filled second. We spent a bit of time here after the first look for portraits before heading to the Meridian, Idaho Temple for some late night photos.
Not pictured, all the people driving down from the ski resort honking and cheering out their windows for the happy couple!
Temple Magic
The next day at the Meridian, Idaho Temple, they shared a private sealing with their family before emerging to cheers from friends and extended family. Afterward, we breezed through group-by-group family photos, capturing all the smiles and laughter along the way! Once family photos were done, we walked around the temple and took a few more photos of the two of them before continuing on with the fun!
Reception: Ring Ceremony, Dancing, and Pure Energy
The reception was a full-on party at a barn in Kuna, Idaho. They started with a ring ceremony and heartfelt speeches from siblings and friends.
They shared a dance with their parents and had their first dance together, ate some cake, and then… the dance floor officially opened!
Tables and chairs were cleared, lights flashed, and the music was absolutely epic.
The air in that little barn was electric and the smiles between family and friends were contagious.
Photographer Thoughts
As a photographer, my favorite part? The dancing, the energy, the moments that weren’t posed, and the real joy. If you’re planning a wedding, take note: good party music makes all the difference! Embrace the giggles, the love, and the memories. You'll never want to forget the way you felt on this day so embrace it! Make it yours!
