Annie & Zac’s wedding was a reminder that the most beautiful moments aren’t always the perfectly planned ones…

Annie & Zac’s wedding in Sun Valley, Idaho, was a celebration that felt as wild and beautiful as the landscape itself. Over two days, they gathered with family and friends to honor their love in a way that was deeply personal, filled with meaning, and full of unexpected magic.

The weekend began with a Western-inspired welcome party, effortlessly blending style and sentiment. Guests arrived in thoughtfully curated Western looks, setting the tone for a night of storytelling, music, and celebration. Laughter echoed through the evening as loved ones raised toasts and performed original songs for the couple. In a quiet, serendipitous moment, a butterfly landed softly on a bridesmaid’s hat just as she posed for a photo with Annie. It was a small but beautiful sign of the magic woven into the day. As the night continued, guests gathered around an ice cream dessert bar, indulging in sweet treats beneath the open Idaho sky.

The following day, the celebration moved to the breathtaking Steve Miller estate in Sun Valley, a hidden oasis tucked between the mountains. Guests arrived and meandered along meadow trails, stopping to sip cocktails and listen to the soft rush of the creek before gathering for the ceremony.

As Annie and Zac stood together, ready to exchange vows, the sky began to shift. Clouds rolled in quickly and rain came pouring down. But rather than rush for shelter, they laughed and embraced the moment. It was unexpected, but completely perfect. Then, just as quickly as it arrived, the storm passed. Sunlight broke through the clouds, casting a golden glow across the meadow as guests made their way to the reception.

As night fell, the energy never wavered. Guests danced beneath the stars, and when the music faded, a silent disco carried the celebration even further into the night. It was a wedding that embraced every twist and turn, every shift in light and weather, and most of all, the unshakable joy of two people completely present in their love.

Photographing Annie & Zac’s wedding was an honor. It was a reminder that the most beautiful moments aren’t always the perfectly planned ones…they’re the ones that unfold naturally, in the in-between, where love and life happen in their purest form.
