Emily and Coy had a dream wedding day in Jackson Hole with all of their closest family and friends!
They chose to do Diamond Cross Ranch’s weekday elopement package which is a great way to save money and still have a ceremony at the ranch. With this package your amenities and time at the ranch are limited but couples who choose to do this will typically host their reception at a separate site like Emily and Coy did.
Coy stayed at the Mountain Modern hotel with his groomsmen and Emily stayed at the Cloudveil with her bridesmaids. We went to Coy’s room first to capture his group getting ready and then we bounced over to the Cloudveil to capture Emily’s group get ready. Everyone was buzzing with excitement!!
First Looks at Cloudveil
Once Emily was finished getting ready she did two adorable first looks with her father and her bridesmaids. We like to do these up on the terrace at Cloudveil because it has great lighting and the pretty Snowking Resort mountain is in the background.
First Look with Coy at Mormon Row
From there it was off to Mormon Row where Emily and Coy did their first look. This one was adorable as well and both of them literally jumped up and down with excitement at one point which made our hearts tingle!
Private vows and a few photos
After their first look and taking it all in they exchanged tearful vows while clouds rolled through the tips of the Tetons. We then snapped a few pics of them before it was time to head to Diamond Cross Ranch for the ceremony!
Ceremony at DCR
Guests began to trickle in from shuttle buses at Diamond Cross Ranch and once everyone was ready we began the ceremony. Ceremonies at the ranch are stunning and the famous “running of the horses” during the first kiss is always a unique special touch.
Cocktail Hour and group photos
After the ceremony, cocktail hour began and we got some family and group photos done before first dances. Cocktail hour is pretty awesome at Diamond Cross Ranch. The horses are out and about in the field and interacting with guests and the huge lawn area allows plenty of room for guests to mingle.
First dances
After cocktail hour and group photos wrapped up Emily and Coy jumped into their first dance as well as their dances with their parents. They did this in the middle of the lawn with everyone gathered around them which ended up being a great setting.
Couples photos with the horses
After the dances the guests began to slowly load up the shuttle buses and hit the road to the reception venue. We grabbed some photos of Emily and Coy at the ceremony spot and then went out into the field to get some of the infamous photos with the horses. This is a super special thing that you are able to do on your day if you get married at the ranch!
Off to the reception
After getting some epic photos with the horses it was time to head to the dinner reception! They had booked The Kitchen for their reception, which is probably our favorite reception location in Jackson! It has a super quaint dining room in addition to an outdoor patio area. Emily and Coy did an incredible job with their decor and we were pretty blown away with how good everything looked.
They did a grand entrance, a few family members did heartfelt toasts, and then it was dinner time! The food and the service at The Kitchen is spectacular… this venue gets a 10/10 recommendation from us for sure!!
Send-off and Cowboy Bar
After dinner and the cake cutting, all of the guests did a send off for Emily and Coy as they left for the Cowboy Bar. We tagged along with them to the bar to capture a few photos of them out front along with some inside as they shared their first drink with their group.
We said our goodbyes and well wishes before they celebrated the night away! What an epic day for these two!! Congrats to Emily and Coy, may their marriage be filled with countless adventures and laughs!
