Wake before the sun, meet in the quiet trailhead parking lot, and headlamp your way into the wild. We’ll hike 1.5 miles through soft light and stillness until we reach a peaceful, glassy alpine lake — likely the first ones there. This is your sacred space to begin the day.
Here, surrounded by forest, reflections, and morning mist, you’ll share a private first look and vow exchange — uninterrupted and deeply personal. Then, with your loved ones gathered, The Traveling Officiant will guide you through a heartfelt ceremony by the lake’s edge. The mountains rise behind you, wildflowers bloom underfoot, and the only sound is wind in the trees and your words carrying over the water.
After your ceremony, we’ll explore nearby woodlands and meadows for portraits, soaking in that golden morning light. Think soft moments among pine trees, wildflowers at your feet, and laughter echoing off the peaks. When it’s time, we’ll head back down the trail and part ways for a midday break — time to nap, snack, relax at your Airbnb, or gather with your guests for brunch. This pause lets you recharge and ground yourself for what’s next.
In the late afternoon, we’ll meet at Jackson Hole Outfitters for your next adventure: a private horseback riding experience with a catered dinner overlooking the Tetons. This is your golden hour — slow, joyful, and totally unforgettable. You’ll ride through wild sage fields, enjoy cocktails and locally sourced food with Pepino the beer burro bringing the charm, and soak in live acoustic tunes as the sun sets behind the peaks.
Want to throw on your wedding attire again for portraits with the horses? Absolutely. Or keep it relaxed and casual — either way, it’s your story. You’ll get the full cowboy experience: play cornhole, try roping, learn about the land and culture from real wranglers, and watch as the horses roam free at dusk. To end the night, we’ll take a short drive to a nearby lake for a celebratory dip or golden hour portraits that capture the full magic of the day.
Why This Package?
This is for couples who want connection, movement, and meaning — a sunrise elopement that grounds you, and a sunset celebration that lifts you. It’s a day you’ll feel in your body: the cool lake air at dawn, the warmth of the horses beside you, the music drifting into the mountains, and the joy of being fully, wildly present.
Your love, your adventure — YOUR RULES. Let’s create magic together! ✨
