Mogollon Rim Wedding

Alex & Jade | Mogollon Rim Wedding

The Mogollon Rim will stop you in your tracks…all that space and stillness. On this day, it also showed off its dramatic side in full force.

The ceremony started with storm clouds gathering across the valley. Then came the rain. Steady, insistent. But no one even thought about stopping. Alex and Jade just smiled through the downpour, held onto each other, and said their vows without hesitation. The umbrellas came out, and the rain became part of their story.

Dashing back to the parking lot, any additional plans tossed aside, everyone gathered behind the lifted tailgate of an SUV as Alex and Jade lifted a tiny pink blanket from a wicker basket. A little pause. A few tears. A lot of smiles. It’s a girl!

When the sky finally cleared, the Rim was wrapped in the golden light of sunset, quiet and dreamlike. We wandered the overlook for a few minutes, letting the calm settle in while capturing some of the most breathtaking images of the day.

The celebration at The Old County Inn was easy and warm. Pizza, drinks, and toasts from the dads that drifted between laughter and that kind of emotion you only get at the end of a long, good day.

Days like this are why I love what I do. People leaning into life as it happens, rain and all..

Congratulations, Alex & Jade!
