Written By Amber Andrew

WHAT: A little bit wild west, a little bit mountain romance, a whole lot of rain

WHEN: September 6th, 2025

WHERE: Rehearsal at The Wyman Reception at Kendall Mountain

COORDINATORS: Amber, Josh, Steph, Victoria

VIBES: Wild west, wild weather, go-with-it joy

These are a few of my favorite things:

A Bride Who Set the Tone for Everyone

BETHANY is a wedding photographer and was so above and beyond kind and encouraging to her vendors. She gave clear ideas and opinions and also let each vendor do what they do best with a whole lot of freedom. Speaking of photographers, bethany's photographer Ann was SO fun to work with. A highlight of the day.

A Western Welcome That Kicked Off The Weekend

A western welcome party with a homemade sign, local cocktails and the Wyman just NAILED the vibe. The entire weekend felt intentional from the first moment guests arrived, and that energy carried all the way through the wedding day. Plus! Everyone loves a good cowgirl hat moment.

Rain, Retrievers, and Rolling With It

Pouring rain and some super cute golden retrievers somehow made everything better instead of harder. The whole day felt like a perfect example of choosing joy over perfection and leaning into whatever the moment brought. One of my favorite photos is of Bethany dancing with her pup on the dance floor. Gotta love a dog friendly venue (we see you Kendall)

Personal Details That Told Their Story

Bethany used her veil for decor for the cake table (I’m sure this is a Pinterest idea, but I had never seen it and it was SO cute) and thrifted vintage plates created a layered, meaningful look that felt collected rather than styled. Adaptable and kind couples will always take the cake!
