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—a small but beautiful sign of the magic woven into the day. As the night stretched on, 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. Just as Annie & Zac stood hand in hand, ready to exchange vows, the sky shifted. Dark clouds rolled in, and moments later, the heavens opened. Rain poured in sheets, drenching everything in sight. But instead of scrambling for cover, Annie & Zac simply laughed, holding onto each other and soaking in every second. The downpour only made the moment more unforgettable. Then, as if on cue, the storm passed, the sun broke through, and golden light poured over the celebration.

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.
