A Cottage-Core elopement in the Big Horn Mountains

Cottage-core ~ Earthy ~ Chic

Minnesota wedding photographer Britney Moser traveled to Sheridan to capture this magical Wyoming destination wedding.

Alexandra wanted her day full of earthy textures in white and green and a little pop of yellow as a nod to her yellow diamond engagement ring.

She wore a stunning bias-cut gown from A La Robe from The Dress Theory in Seattle made from silk crepe de chine with French lace detailing. With an ivory V-neck with lace details, she looked incredible atop our favorite Big Horn Mountains.

These lovebirds planned a destination wedding in the Big Horn Mountains and a small celebration with their closest friends and family. They chose to stand up without a bridal party and her friends picked dresses in colors of blue and green to match the wedding theme.

The bride’s attendants wore a mix of Eucalyptus-colored dresses from Azazie and a striking burnt orange jumpsuit.

The groom built a hexagon arch for their wedding ceremony. It was VERY blustery on their big day and blew over before I arrived. Thankfully, the guys were on location getting ready and jumped into action to repair and reinforce the structure. I used dried pampas, the brides favorite giant mums and roses for their arch installation.

Eliza & Zach

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.

A Tensleep Wedding in September

Clarke & Laure

In the shadow of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, a special day unfolded for a couple from California who now reside in South Carolina. Their family's summer home provided the perfect backdrop for a simple, elegant wedding. They celebrated their roots with colors like navy blue and burgundy and a bouquet filled with dahlias and eucalyptus. Under a white tent at the Old Shell store, surrounded by loved ones, their love story began a new chapter. It was a day of joy, blending memories from two families into one beautiful moment, treasured by all who shared in their happiness.

Kaleigh Rust Photography captured all the love and sunshine for this September destination wedding in Tensleep, WY. Wild West Collective provided planning and rentals for their day with a reception hosted at the Old Shell Store.

Can we take a moment for this incredible bridal cape that Laure wore!!!!

Their mixed bridal party wore a combination of navy suits, and dresses in a burnt orange or navy depending on whose side they were standing on. 2023 was the year of mixed-gender wedding parties and I LOVED it.

The ceremony flowers were created with local choke-cherry branches loaded with cherries and leaves in perfectly burnished Fall colors, with amaranth and dahlias transported over the mountains from a local grower in Sheridan, WY.
