You will need a special use permit that costs $200. Some locations allow 25 guests, others only 12. All locations are given out on a first come first serve basis, capped at sixty elopements per year. You can view the current updated permit requirements at Grand Teton National Park on their website here. As always, I am here as your Grand Teton elopement photographer to ensure you have the accurate permits you will need for your elopement ceremony. The park requires thirty days notice to process applications so reach out to me sooner than later and I will assist you!

Totally! I shoot full weddings along with more intimate weddings and adventure elopements! There is so much beauty in both styles of wedding days. Reach out to me and I can give you a list of my favorite venues and ski lodges in the Jackson Hole area for a full wedding. If you are having your ceremony in the park however you will only be allowed 25 guests, some areas will only allow 12 guests, which is good to note with planning! I will help guide you with ALL of this.

You can access the mountains year round here! Summers are magical in the Tetons. Mid May into late September provides the best weather for a Grand Teton elopement! The park has a high altitude and can experience sudden changes in weather, and tends to be cold in the early mornings and once the sun sets! In the summer, the alpine meadows are sprawling with wildflowers, and the lakes are crystal-clear. In the fall, the aspen trees turn a beautiful golden color. Winter offers a different kind of beauty, with snow-covered peaks and frozen lakes to endure and snow sports are in full swing!

There is so much to do in the national park along with the city of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. You could rent a cabin tucked in the mountains and wake up slow to have coffee on your balcony viewing the Tetons. There are tons of hikes to do within the park and in the summer months you can paddle board and fish the lakes! The town of Jackson Hole is so quaint, it has a western boho feel. My favorite coffee shops within town are Persephones and Snake River Roasting! There is also the iconic Million Dollar Cowboy Bar that is a must visit after your elopement! Couples can even honeymoon after in Yellowstone National Park as it is so close to the Tetons.

Most couples will have an officiant, a florist, hair/make up artist, and a photographer (that's me!). From there, you could have a baker for a cake, a caterer for a picnic, a guide for rock climbing, a videographer, the ideas are limitless! Reach out and we can brainstorm ideas on what other vendors you would want included in your elopement day in the mountains! I love to help with finding these vendors!
