Johannah and Joel had not one but two wedding celebrations. These were pre-covid-19 times and they let their friends and family “choose their adventure”. Their actual ceremony would take place in the snowy mountains of Utah and a fun reception down in St. Petersburg Florida. Johannah contacted me in early 2019 to capture the Utah portion of their celebration and to say I was excited would be an understatement.

Over the next several months and after one final meeting in person prior to the big day everything was all planned and ready to go. I especially loved getting the little texts from Johannah leading up to the big day with her sharing details as small as their cute pb&j matching socks that they would be wearing. A bit closer to the big day Johannah asked for recommendations for videographers and I was excited to recommend and work alongside my friend Emily. You can watch the video footage here.

We started their coverage time with a few immediate family and couple portraits while we waited for all of their guests to arrive for the hike. We hiked to the perfect location Johannah scouted out for their special ceremony and then continued the hike. Upon arriving back to the parking lot the rest of the afternoon was filled with sledding, hot cocoa/treats, mingling, and toasts.

Happy One Year Anniversary Johannah and Joel!
