Jewel-tone ~ Western ~ Vintage

These lovebirds planned a November wedding in the stunning Bighorn Mountains with jewel-toned colors in Navy, Burgundy, Olive Green, Taupe, and Gold at the charming Meadowlark Ski Lodge.

White Buffalo Photography captured all the love and details from their mountaintop ceremony to snowy portraits with their friends to their cozy lodge reception.

The bride dreamed of a bouquet that made a statement, and we delivered with the BIGGEST bouquet I’ve ever made. Enjoy the details of this winter wonderland wedding.

Their ceremony took place at the stunning top of the mountain with panoramic views of the Bighorn Mountains covered in fresh snow. Their guests and wedding party were up for the conditions and it was absolutely stunning. We let the view speak for itself and created a few large arrangements to welcome guests to the ceremony site.

Their reception took place in the charming lodge at Meadowlark Lake. We used simple bud vases for the guest tables mixed with pictures of them on adventures and I created a massive installation for the fireplace mantle to frame their sweetheart table.

Congratulations!

Imagine exchanging vows against the backdrop of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains—a breathtaking setting for a simple, unhurried, and undeniably beautiful wedding at the bride’s family home. Picture sage green blending with warm, muted gold tones, accented by delicate white daisies reminiscent of the bride's mother's bouquet. This captured the heart of their Western wedding, with every detail radiating natural charm.

When a horse trainer calls for a vet to doctor some sick calves, it’s a love story for the books.

Rebecca and Brandt chose to say I do below the Bighorn Mountains at the Big Horn Equestrian Center near his childhood home, and their day was full of dramatic weather and the biggest smiles.

Forever West Weddings & Events coordinated an incredible group of vendors for this couple from California to make their destination wedding dreams come true.

Wyoming wedding photographer Cassie Madden captured everything from getting ready to smiles in the rain.

The groom and his men wore a classic western Canadian tuxedo and their cowboy hats with boots. The bride found her perfect dress at Miosa Bridal, a shop in Folsom, CA, and her ladies wore pale blue knee-length dresses.

The bride’s love of sunflowers directed our vision for the day and her flowers. We included locally grown Ox Eye Sunflowers (Heliopsis helianthoides) and white cosmos for a delicate, light feeling with plenty of movement.

They originally planned an outdoor ceremony on the expansive polo fields under an arch from Powder River Party Rentals with flowers and some calf roping pieces. Ultimately, the rain called for a change of plans, but we love these shots captured beforehand. The hanging arrangements did double duty for the day and were used as centerpieces under the tent for their reception.

The Cake Chic - Jaci Schmidt created custom cookies for each guest and a three-layer cake with a custom topper. The team from Shabby Shack crafted a beautiful meal and place settings under the tent for their reception.

Congratulations!

June Local Bouquet - Styled Shoot

A Local Bouquet in June

When Abby Higgs Photography approached me for a simple styled shoot, I was excited to make a bouquet full of local beauty for their evening at the HF Bar Ranch in Saddlestring, WY. Our late start to Summer here in Sheridan left us with an abundance of peonies showing off, along with coral bells, ox-eye daisies, chamomile, and a few other little treasures I was able to pick from neighbors’ yards and local farms.

Growing flowers on a large scale in our climate is so difficult and I always jump at the chance to play with flowers grown so close to home.
