ROBBIE AND HANNAH'S WEDDING | RIVERSIDE WEDDING HAILEY IDAHO | IDAHO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

weddings, elopementtessa sheehanComment

I love an autumn wedding! The colors, the clouds, the temp outside, it’s all lends to a beautiful wedding experience. So when they shared their wedding details and date with me on our first consultation call, I knew their day would be a special one.

Robbie and Hannah met in August of 2019 and in fitting form for both of them, they decided on to meet for a hike as their first date. They’ve been at each other’s side ever since! Together they made the decision to get married two years later and planned a gorgeous and relaxed celebration and ceremony for their wedding in September 2021.

The wedding was held at a private home on the river in Hailey, Idaho followed with their reception at Robbie’s parents’ house and lush, beautiful garden his mother has cultivated for decades. An absolutely stunning setting for these lovers and their loved ones. Beautiful locally grown flowers by The Wild Flora Farm adorned the tables that were nestled into the corners of the garden. And as a final touch on the evening, they harvested blackberries from Robbie’s family’s cabin in Washington and used them to make homemade pies! 

Robbie and Hannah embody a peaceful and playful love. They can’t help but smile at each other every time they catch an eye. It’s adorable. At our private portrait session, we were joined by the best man Scotty too, and it was a half hour of them giggling at each other and Robbie making Hannah laugh. I could have photographed them for hours, but alas they needed to join their family and friends at the beautiful reception they and their family had arranged in the garden.  I always wish I had more portrait time with my couples on wedding days hah! 

Thank you Robbie and Hannah for including me in your sweet sweet day and experience! 

Xooo

LINDSAY AND RICK'S ELOPEMENT | LIMELIGHT HOTEL KETCHUM | IDAHO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Lindsay and Rick created the most relaxed and charming winter elopement, two years to the date of when they were engaged. They both were a lot like their day felt, relaxed and full of love! 

They met online and both were ready to stop online dating but had already made plans for a lunch date so they didn’t want to cancel and be rude. “So glad we kept it on the calendar!” Lindsay shared about their first date where they shared lunch at Temecula Creek Golf Course, yummy food and great conversation. It wasn’t long after that he asked her to marry him at the “Field of Lights “in Paso Robles wine country! They’ll be having a big celebration and ceremony with friends when it’s safe after the pandemic, but they disappeared from their home in the San Diego area to Sun Valley to secretly elope on February 13, 2021. 

It was a snow day and they had an entire wing of the Limelight Hotel to enjoy, be wed and share horderves and their wedding cake made for 2! Lindsay was stunning in rose gold hues and floor length sequin gown + nude pumps. Her whole look reminded me of a fairy tale. Rick looked great in his leather jacket and ear to ear grin. I was honored to not only photograph their secret ceremony, but also to be a witness on their marriage license along with their officiant Sean Barvetto and the Limelight’s planner BJ. After the ceremony we bundled up and ran outside for some snow scenes before a quick cake cutting (which I was stoked to try because the cake tasted like it looked, perfect). I left them both to enjoy their day they’d created and giggle, champagne in hand, in their private nook looking into the mountains. 

Thank you both for having me capture your story!

Samantha and Jakub planned a perfect snow day for their wedding portraits at the Roundhouse on Bald Mountain. They made it official on New Years Eve at the Hailey courthouse and had a fondue party planned with their family for the afternoon. I met them at the Roundhouse for some portraits to document their day, at the very spot Jakub had proposed!

Cheers to you two and all the adventures ahead!
