Photographing Annika and Sean’s wedding portraits with a herd of moose in the valleys just outside of Sheridan is something I’ll be telling the girlies about at the nursing home. More on this destination wedding day below! This real wedding was printed in Rocky Mountain Bride’s June 2025 magazine.

In 2024, Annika and Sean packed their bags into Sean’s Subaru and with their maps set for Sheridan they headed out west. Squeezed in with DIY’s, the dogs, and their wedding attire, they were on their way to say “I do” in a place that had come to mean so much to both of them. This day, done in the way they wanted, with their loved ones at the center, was one of my favorite weddings days of all time. The welcome party, cowboy themed of course, was just a taste of the perfect wedding day to come. On the day in question, private vows on the bluffs were followed by an intimate ceremony with close family just outside the families cabin. After “I do’s,” we kicked the four wheeler into gear to explore the surrounding valleys, leading us to a treat of a lifetime (my first time seeing a moose!) As the sun set just to the right of the log cabin and folks started cozying up to the fire, grabbing layers for dancing and slinking into the house without making eye contact, I remember taking it all in and feeling so dang grateful to be there.

Annika and Sean, thanks for bringing me along for an adventure of a lifetime. xx.
