Intimate Mountain Wedding at the Base of the Wellsville Mountains


 


I had the pleasure of capturing this beautiful and intimate mountain wedding in Mendon Utah this last fall. The grooms are both dear friends of mine so it was that much more special that they wanted me to capture their special day.

The details from this day were to die for! They perfectly captured the rustic mountain wedding vibe but also played into the sub-theme of rainbow.



 


The food was provided by Lucky Slice Pizza located in Logan UT and a local bartender was the mixologist for the night.

three rows of half full champagne flutes lined up for people to toast with

a chalkboard that details the cocktail menu. Including a strawberry lemon drop, basil cucumber refresher, violet martini, wines, and blue moon as drink options. In the background the bartender is making drinks.


 

The whole wedding party had a sense of elegance with the main color being black with a splash of rainbow as the accessory.

The reception space was gorgeous, playing off the natural landscape of the mountains in the background.


 

The night ended in a bang when a massive rainstorm came in. Everyone decided to make lemonade from lemons and had an impromptu dance party in the down pour.

This was an absolutely gorgeous wedding that had a major weather event. Rather than let that ruin the special day, Thomas and Jaxon made the most of it and created the memory of a lifetime!
