Years ago when I was living the ski bum life in Jackson Hole just trying to make ends meet, I worked as a fine-dining server at the stunning Amangani resort. Seriously, if you’ve never heard of it, check it out. My days consisted of waking up and snowboarding in the morning, then getting all prettied up and driving the winding road up the bluff to serve local fare and fine wine to some of Jackson Hole’s more luxurious visitors. Our crew all had the same mindset – work hard, play hard – and we all bonded over working in that beautiful space. Jessica happened to be a hostess for a while during the time I worked there. While the years have gone by, it felt like no time had passed when she called to ask me about photographing her wedding. We are now both leading professional lives but our love for Jackson Hole and its mountains never faded. I was thrilled to meet her amazing fiancé and these two sure do make the perfect pair. Their love for the river surely had a hand in their venue choice, the Snake River Sporting Club. The leaves were stunning and golden on their wedding day and the autumn light illuminated their ceremony with the mountains all around. All guests were wide-eyed when Jessica made her entrance in her stunning Oscar de la Renta ball gown. Details from the area like foraged antlers, autumn-inspired bouquets, and catering by the locally-loved Cafe Genevieve made for a very personalized wedding celebration. The local band Whiskey Mornin’ serenaded guests as they danced the night away under that big Wyoming sky.
