Maenica & Curtis had a beautiful spring Oxbow Bend Elopement. They didn’t have their ceremony inside the park, but really wanted to have wedding portraits while on their trip. This is always a possibility for couples who are eloping, honeymooning, or just vacationing in the area and want to have some special photos taken. A lot of couples have their legal ceremony before or after their photoshoot in the mountains. So consider hiring me as your Jackson Hole Photographer for wedding portraits!

Oxbow Bend Elopement

Our first stop on our park tour was Oxbow Bend. This was at the very top of the couple’s list for wedding portrait locations. This was also one of the first times I’ve short at Oxbow Bend! It was a lovely overcast day which gave us beautiful balanced lighting and brought out vibrant colors. Their spring elopement photos in the Tetons were stunning with all of the lush greenery.

Grand Teton Wedding Portraits

We then traveled to Cathedral Group Turnout  and Jenny Lake for additional photos. At these two locations, we included her son in several photos. When traveling with a group, I always recommend doing the family or guest photos in one location only so that it doesn’t get too crazy. But, when the group is small enough there are more opportunities to take photos in multiple locations.

The water around Jenny Lake was very high due to the spring snowmelt, so we were a bit limited in our options directly around the lake. Luckily there are still beautiful places to stay dry and get a view of the mountains within the frame.

Hiring a Local Photographer

When you’re considering who to hire for your Jackson Hole Wedding, I recommend choosing a local photographer. We are the best versed in the area! As a Jackson Hole Photographer, I help all of my clients with location choice, timeline creation, and vendor recommendations. Because of our familiarity with the area, we can more easily adjust the wedding day flow if emergencies or weather happens. My goal is for you to have the best experience possible!
