Dani and Pete chose to plan their elopement in Grand Teton National Park for their first visit! Of course they were nervous about planning activities for the day and making it memorable, but together we worked on a perfect itinerary!

They chose Swabacher’s Landing as the location for their ceremony with me and the officiant’s friend as their witnesses! The Fish Creek Fire was blazing and made some horrible smoke in the morning, but by the time the ceremony started the smoke began to clear and we could see the majestic Tetons clearly!

Even though it would just be the two of them, they found ways to include their family by having handwritten letters to read at one of the locations in the park.

They chose to read private vows at Oxbow Bend and have a first dance on the shore of Jackson Lake. Dani and Pete brought a cute picnic with them to enjoy with the stunning serene view of Jenny Lake and a cute fox to join us! We ended the night with some flash photos in the town square with the iconic Cowboy Bar marquee!
