Hank And Ilka's Teton Valley Hoedown

Western, Idaho, Private Residence, Teton Valley, Victor Idaho

My first wedding in Victor, Idaho! This was a really special one, as I just met Hank and Ilka under a year ago out snowmobiling. I feel so thankful to have such adventurous friends in the Teton Valley. I only shot the ceremony and after party for this one, but we still managed to capture some gorgeous shots with the Tetons and Big Holes in the background. Their wedding was pretty DIY, and everything was so spectacular. Between the ceremony altar and prayer flags with Ilka's late mom's art on them.


All around it was a beautiful warm day at the base of the Tetons and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to shoot their wedding. Plus, Ilka's rhinestone cowboy boots and their dirt bike entrance was about as epic as it gets.
