Erin and Adam’s Grand Targhee, WY wedding

Jul 25

Erin and Adam’s sweet mountain wedding at Grand Targhee was a treat. A smaller version of the weddings we all used to see, with all the signs of Covid present(masks, hand sanitizer, lots of social distancing) but not enough to quell the joy of this couple. It was an interesting process of taking group photos, where you wear the mask till you are in place and then it was your choice if you felt comfortable enough to remove the mask for a few seconds. And then straight back to that mask life. Every single guest and person in the bridal party was super responsible. Even with Covid as the elephant in the room, the thing we all talked about was how excited we were for Erin and Adam.

And luckily for them, The Tetons put on a show and did not disappoint, with gorgeous blue skies, puffy clouds and sun during all the photos. Right as the reception started a summer storm rolled through, with cool rain. I love summer storms in the Tetons, they roll in fast and they roll out fast, so as soon as I saw a sliver of sun again we went back out into the flower filled meadows and took some more romantic photos.

I love working with my couples, and these two are no exception. Especially right now, when my work is so far and few, it’s like the day was happening in slow motion. I’ll remember so much more of their wedding because of the circumstances of the current situation. But being at the real start of a couples combined lives is such a joy, and every wedding, no matter how small this year, has been a gift. A reminder of why I love what I do, and why love is such an inspiration for all. Erin and Adam, Thank you for choosing me and trusting me. Your day was so beautiful and I loved every minute. Can’t wait to see what joy’s life has in store for you both!

Hugs,

Taryn :)
