The Sawtooth Botanical in Hailey, Idaho was the perfect backdrop for Nicole and Jake’s summer wedding, and it was worth waiting for! These two had planned their wedding for 2020 but had to reschedule due to the pandemic, but that just made their ceremony and celebrations even more special.

Although Palm Springs is their home with their baby Danny, Nicole had grown up in Hailey and wanted to be married in her hometown and show this beautiful place to Jake’s family. They gathered their loved ones and created a beautiful and relaxed day, just as they had planned. After a relaxed and heartfelt ceremony, with the Idaho mountains as their backdrop, they celebrated under tents as a summer rainstorm swept through that evening. We’d snuck into the forest to do some bridal portraits and a surreal light and rain joined us. All part of an Idaho wedding experience hah!

The love and support from their family and people was like another guest at their wedding. It’s always a treat to work with couples who can’t wait to be married! What a treat to photograph such pure love and family!

Thank you both for having me document your day! I can’t wait to catch up over the years and watch your amazing partnership grow even more (somehow :))

xoooo
