Raelyn and Jeremy
A Romantic Wedding in The Wyoming Mountains
A small, intimate wedding in the mountains, surrounded by loved ones and close friends is the best. Although Raelyn is a busy professional making her way in the world in a different state, she has many, many fond memories of spending summers in Laramie with her grandparents. When the time came to decide where she wanted to get married, she knew it had to be at the gazebo in Vedauwoo a magical place in nature and part of the National Forest just east of Laramie, Wyoming.
Vedauwoo holds a special place in her heart. Raelyn’s grandpa worked tirelessly over many years laying out and maintaining the scenic Turtle Rock Trail, a place she spent time growing up. She and her grandmother Diane told me wonderful stories of hiking and exploring with him. Raelyn and I immediately connected once I saw her two cute dogs on Instagram and Facebook. I absolutely love dogs and consider mine almost as important as my three kiddos. Then I found out that Raelyn and Jeremy were including these two babies in their celebration and that Raelyn’s grandma, Diane, was also bringing her wonderful pooch. This was truly a wedding for dog lovers. After talking on the phone with Raelyn, her fiance Jeremy, and Diane, we all knew I was the perfect fit for them.
Magic in the Mountains
One of the most important parts of choosing a wedding photographer is trust. Having a photographer you trust and who you connect with really makes a difference. When your photographer understands what is important to you and shares a deep understanding of your relationship, your wedding truly can be perfect. The wedding you’ve dreamed about. When you find the photographer that perfectly fits you and your “soon to be” spouse, you don’t have to worry about whether or not your pictures are going turn out okay and the million other thoughts running through your head.
Raelyn and Diane- who wasn’t just a grandma but also her closest friend and matron of honor, had the extra challenge of planning a wedding long distance. They were looking for just the right photographer who they could trust. After they contacted me about wedding photography, they knew that I was the right photographer for them.
No one could’ve asked for a more perfect day. Blue sky, white, fluffy clouds, bright sunshine, and NO rain (yay!). Raelyn and Jeremy’s special day was small and intimate, surrounded by family and close friends. Some even came from out of state to join the celebration. Raelyn and Jeremy are an amazing couple full of love, hope, energy, and ready to take on the world. I am so happy that they chose me to capture some of the best memories they’ll ever have.
