There’s something truly special about weddings that start small — just a handful of loved ones, a meaningful ceremony, and a location that feels like home. This intimate wedding at the Bentwood Inn in Wilson, Wyoming was exactly that: personal, heartfelt, and full of connection from beginning to end.
As a Jackson Hole wedding photographer, I’ve witnessed so many ways couples choose to celebrate their love. And this day? It reminded me that some of the most memorable weddings are the ones that begin quietly, then open up into something bigger — just like this couple’s story.
These two met playing disc golf, and their relationship grew from shared adventures, easy laughter, and a love for the outdoors. So it was only fitting that their wedding day was relaxed, joyful, and deeply grounded in who they are.
They chose to exchange vows in an intimate ceremony at the Bentwood Inn, surrounded by just their closest family members. There wasn’t a dry eye during the ceremony — it was emotional, thoughtful, and full of genuine moments that were a dream to photograph.
Tucked away in the trees just outside of Jackson, the Bentwood Inn is one of the most charming wedding venues in the area. Located in Wilson, WY, it’s known for its rustic elegance, cozy interiors, and beautiful grounds that feel both wild and welcoming. It’s also an ideal place for small weddings, with space for both lodging and celebration — perfect for couples wanting to keep things close-knit without sacrificing style.
The inn’s log architecture and mountain-lodge vibe made a stunning backdrop for portraits, and the surrounding aspen groves added a soft, romantic feel to the day.
After the ceremony, the couple welcomed a larger group of friends to join the celebration — turning their quiet afternoon into a lively evening full of dancing, laughter, and joyful reunion. It was the best of both worlds: a private, emotional start to the day, followed by a laid-back party with the people who mean the most.
As a photographer, it’s always such a gift to capture weddings like this — where every part of the day is built around intention, authenticity, and connection.
