Cougar Ridge Lodge Wedding in Torrey, Utah

September 23, 2017

When clients become friends, that’s a glorious thing. When clients feel like they are long-lost friends, that’s to be celebrated! Tara & Bennett are special souls and immediately we hit it off over Skype. But when they travelled down from Seattle for an engagement session on the Great Salt Lake and we shared conversation under a moon with beer, it became evident that we were meant to work together.

I was honored to photograph their Cougar Ridge Lodge wedding in Torrey, Utah. My family vacations to Wayne County frequently and the rambling red rock of Capital Reef National Park and the green aspen groves of Boulder Mountain on either side just feel right at home to me. Tara & Bennett obviously felt the same, and their clan had no qualms making the trek down for the celebration.

It was a gloriously sunny day and everything went down without a hiccup. From the seamless and beautiful wedding ceremony to the raucous dance party (courtesy of one amazing music master and fabulous human DJ Chu), it was one roaring good time in Torrey. Thanks for having me B&T! I can’t wait for our paths to cross soon!
