Carissa & Josh had Schwabacher Landing Wedding Portraits last fall.  Their wedding took place earlier in the month at Snake River Meadow in Ririe, Idaho. We took their engagement photos in the Tetons so it felt right to return to the mountains for wedding photos too. 

Carissa brought a bedazzled jean jacket to wear for a few photos. I love these personal touches in the accessories that brides choose to include. They felt adventurous so we did a few photos in the water at the end of the night too. Josh didn’t want to remove his shoes, so he balanced on rocks while Carissa went barefoot!

Schwabacher Landing Wedding Portraits

September is an incredible month in the Tetons. It’s generally mild although it can have warmer days and rainy ones too. The evenings and mornings are chilly, but the days are beautiful. With the change in weather comes the change to leaves and foliage around the park. In September 2024, we didn’t have a single day of rain which made the fire season extend into October and beyond. Carissa & Josh’s wedding portraits were taken at Schwabacher Landing at the end of the September. They had the most vibrant colors!

Things to consider when choosing to do bridals

Separate formal sessions, also called bridals or wedding portraits, are ideal for many couples. You might consider a separate formal session before or after your wedding day if you would like to have photos in a different location besides your wedding venue.  Things to consider if you are doing a separate formal session before or after your wedding day:

• When possible, hire the same bridal beauty team for hair and makeup.
• Plan to have a similar or smaller bouquet from your florist made to bring with you. It’s nice to have that accessory to include in your photos. 

These two things can help keep your images more cohesive. If you’re planning destination wedding portraits, I can help you find local vendors to work with!
