Last week, Cheryl and I had the pleasure of traveling to Sun Valley, Idaho. It was our first visit to the area and we got to photograph Julia and Doug’s Sun Valley wedding weekend! Originally, their wedding was to be held last year in Pebble Beach. But due to COVID, the wedding had to be postponed. I can confidently say it all worked out in the end. Like the couple, Julia and Doug’s wedding day was incredibly gorgeous.

Perfect Sun Valley Wedding Weather
After a little dusting of snow overnight, the weather was warm and sunny for their ceremony at the Valley Club. Guests enjoyed signature cocktails and views of snow capped mountains at The Valley Club before dancing the night away.

Sneak Peek Photos
Because the wedding was just a few days ago, I have quite a bit of photo editing ahead of me! In the meantime, here are a few sneak peeks for the lovely bride and her dashing groom.
