Quinlin and Reanna had one of the most unique weddings we’ve ever seen… Reanna was under the impression that they were eloping and that it would just be the two of them on their day. Little did she know that Quinlin was going to be surprising her with their parents waiting for them at The Wedding Tree!
This was a really fun surprise to pull off with Quinlin and it was so hard to keep it secret from Reanna on the day! The Wedding Tree was the final spot of the day so we had to make sure we didn’t accidentally spill the beans leading up to it.
We arrived at The Cowboy Village, where the two of them were getting ready. We had Quinlin step out front to get ready, and then him and Matt hit the road to the first look spot so Reanna could get ready and not be seen by him.
First Look at Glacier View Turnout
Reanna and Lauren hit the road shortly after Matt and Quinlin once Reanna was finished getting ready. Matt got Quinlin set up at Glacier View Turnout for a first look. Quinlin said that the nerves were finally all hitting him at once and that he was most nervous about the surprise going well!
Once Reanna arrived they had a super cute first look and they took it all in for a few minutes before we moved on to the next spot.
Jenny Lake for photos
From Glacier View Turnout we head to the inner park loop for some photos at Jenny Lake. On the way, one of our favorite spots for photos had great lighting, the horses were out in the field, and the sprinklers were going. Because of all this we decided to pull over for a couple minutes to snag a couple photos before finishing the drive to Jenny.
The lighting at Jenny Lake ended up being gorgeous as well which makes for some spectacular photos!!
One more stop before the surprise
On the way to The Wedding Tree we made one last pit stop for a unique spot that has water and a great view of the mountains.
Gametime!
Once we got up to the parking spot at the tree, Lauren distracted Reanna for a few minutes while Matt ran up to the ceremony spot to get the parents set up for the surprise. He got them hidden behind a tree so Reanna would see them when turning the corner.
A few minutes later Lauren, Quinlin, and Reanna made the walk down the path and boy was she surprised!!! The order of events was basically: shock, tears, and then laughs. She was under the impression that their parents were across the country and not waiting for them at the ceremony spot!
After collecting herself we got ready for the ceremony and her dad walked her down the aisle which was adorable. Matt actually officiated this ceremony which is something we’ve been offering some couples recently when it makes sense. He said some opening remarks and then stepped out while Quinlin and Reanna exchanged their personal vows.
After their vows he stepped back in to help them exchange their rings and then pronounced them husband and wife before stepping back out before their first kiss.
Group Photos and Marriage License
After the ceremony the two of them gave their parents celebratory hugs and took in the moment for a little bit. We then got group photos of everyone and they signed the marriage license to make things officially official!
A few final photos
After signing the marriage license we snapped a few more couples photos up at the tree before it was time for them all to head off to dinner to celebrate.
At one point when we were on the side of the trees closest to the Tetons we looked back and the moon was in a perfect spot for really cool photos so we grabbed a couple of those as well. The Wedding Tree is such a unique spot and it’s always one of our first recommendations for a ceremony location!
After taking the final photos we said our goodbyes to the whole group and we hope they had a lovely rest of their trip in Jackson Hole. Congrats to Quinlin and Reanna, may their marriage be filled with boundless adventures and laughs!
