There’s something timeless about a wedding that feels as natural as the landscape surrounding it. When you combine breathtaking mountain views, the warmth of family, and a couple as grounded in love as Kenny and Sean, the result is pure magic.

Set high in the forested beauty of Forbidden Plateau, their wedding took place on Kenny’s parents’ property — a hidden gem framed by evergreens and soft mountain air. With just over forty of their closest people, this intimate celebration felt like a love letter to simplicity and connection. Every laugh, every hug, every glance told a story of two people completely at home with each other.

A Forest First Look at Nymph Falls

The morning began quietly beneath the trees at Nymph Falls. Kenny and Sean met for their first look surrounded by moss-covered trails, rushing water, and golden light dancing through the forest canopy. It was one of those sacred, unhurried moments where everything else fades away — just the two of them, taking in the calm before the celebration began.

A Ceremony Among the Mountains

Back at the house, guests were welcomed into a space that felt like home. Garden games set the tone for the afternoon, laughter echoed through the trees, and Kenny’s brothers — Josh and Max — made a legendary beer-and-flower-boy entrance that no one will ever forget.

Their ceremony was emotional, filled with tears, joy, and the occasional bark from their two dogs, Chewie and Skia, who were determined to be part of the story. With the mountains as their backdrop and love as their guide, Kenny and Sean promised forever in a way that felt deeply authentic.

A Celebration That Felt Like Home

After the “I do’s,” guests drifted into cocktail hour as sunlight spilled across the lawn. Drinks clinked, stories flowed, and music filled the air. It was relaxed yet elevated — the perfect balance of casual comfort and refined detail.

Dinner and speeches followed as the sun softened. Every toast carried both laughter and happy tears, each word reflecting the deep bond this couple shares. Their day wasn’t about extravagance; it was about heart, connection, and the people who shaped their story.

Golden Hour on the Plateau

As the evening settled, we snuck away for portraits in the last light of day. The mountains glowed, the sky turned to fire, and everything around them seemed to hold still. The result? Cinematic images that capture not just how the day looked, but how it felt — raw, romantic, and timeless.

The night ended under a blanket of stars, with slow dances, laughter, and love lingering in the air. No grand exit. No production. Just two souls and their favorite people, savoring every second.
