Private Vows in Grand Teton National Park

It was a beautiful August day for an elopement. While the weather was a little crazy the rest of this month, Tarren and Ethan really did luck out for their day.

Terran and Ethan came all the way from Kansas to exchange vows in Grand Teton National Park. They had an Airbnb just outside of Jackson, and when they went to write their vows, they could not find a single piece of paper. They ended up pouring their souls on A Grand Teton National Park map. I’m sure it was probably a little tedious to write and even read their vows in between all the text on the map, I loved how sentimental this was and all the meaning it held because I truly love this park so much.

Tarren and Ethan exchanged their vows at Cascade Canyon which happens to be one of my favorite views. We ended our location with a beautiful sunset on the Grand Teton. All the colors from that night were unreal. Honestly some of the best light I’d seen up there this year.

Tarren and Ethan both seemed ecstatic to be alone in the mountains together. They were easy going and ready for anything. This was also their first time in the park! I was so glad I got to be in charge of locations and finding the best spots to really show off the beauty here. I’m obsessed with the details on Terran’s dress and the way it flowed when they walked together. Enjoy these stunning images of a dashing and down to earth couple.
