Mountain Weddings // 2024 Guide

 

Mountain Wedding

Wedding in the Mountains

Mountain Destination Wedding

“The mountains are calling and I must go!” - these famous words by John Muir really nailed it on the head. At the risk of sounding cheesy, that’s truly how it feels to have a wedding in the mountains! There’s nothing quite as magical as being surrounded by 360 views of snowcapped peaks like Mt. Rainier, or endless cliffs and unique rock formations like in Yosemite, or even the canyon majesty of some epic desert landscapes.

Any mountain location you choose will be an amazing backdrop for your adventurous wedding while you exchange your personal vows and bask in the newlywed bliss together!

Mountain Wedding Dress

For a suit or a wedding dress for your mountain wedding, think about something you can easily move around in, go hiking about if needed, maneuver around rocks and brush, lightweight enough to feel comfortable and agile in, and it’s definitely a plus if it flies in the wind and embrace that beautiful movement in your photos!

Ultimately, something you feel amazing in, can move around in, and are totally cool with getting a little dirty!

Secret Mountain Wedding Locations

Hidden Gem Mountain Locations

There are tons of incredible locations out there - some of them may be Instagram-famous, or have gone viral on TikTok, or you might’ve seen on Pinterest…But I have LOTS of beautiful hidden gems that I try to keep especially for my couples, so you’ll have access to those if we work together!

I have spent countless days scouting, numerous travel trips, and endless hours researching in order to find all the beautiful wedding locations I can for my couples! It means a lot to me to keep these amazing gems as hidden and private as possible so that my couples can have the intimate day they’re dreaming of without an audience, and without all the tourists trying to get that perfect gram shot.
