A Dreamy Winter Elopement in Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park transforms into a breathtaking winter wonderland from November to April, offering a magical backdrop for your elopement. While the park remains open year-round, planning a winter wedding here requires a bit of extra preparation. Roads may be partially closed or unplowed, so checking the park’s website for current alerts and conditions is essential. But don’t let the cold deter you—this is your chance to create unforgettable memories in a serene, snow-covered landscape.

Ashlin & Andrew planned their winter elopement at Glacier View Overlook. It was a beautiful day, not only with the weather– cold with the sun peeking in and out of the clouds, but also with all the heartfelt vows and words exchanged. Here’s some tips to make your Grand Teton winter wedding as successful as theirs.

Staying Warm and Cozy

Winter in the Tetons is no joke, but with the right preparation, you can stay warm and stylish. First, stock up on hand warmers—they’re a lifesaver! Tuck them into your pockets, gloves, or even your boots to keep your fingers and toes toasty during your outdoor photos. Ashlin had them lining her fur shawl. Brides, don’t forget to layer up with thick leggings and socks under your dress. Trust us, no one will see them, and you’ll be grateful for the extra warmth as you focus on celebrating your love.

Grand Teton Winter Activities and Photo Opportunities

Beyond saying “I do,” your winter elopement can include unforgettable adventures. Snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, and wildlife photography tours are popular activities that double as unique photo opportunities. Imagine capturing your first moments as a married couple surrounded by pristine snow and the towering Teton Range. For a touch of drama, bring along vintage fur wraps, plaid blankets, or even a family heirloom quilt. These accessories not only keep you warm but also add a cozy, romantic vibe to your photos.

Embrace the Adventure– Wear Your Boots

As a bride, you might dream of walking gracefully through the snow in elegant heels, but practicality wins in winter. Wear your snow boots! Your dress will cover them, and if you want to showcase your adventurous side, we’ll capture you rocking those boots with confidence. Staying comfortable means you can fully enjoy your day without worrying about frozen toes or slipping in the snow

A winter elopement in Grand Teton National Park is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With the right planning, you’ll have a day filled with warmth, love, and stunning photos that reflect the magic of your snowy celebration. Let’s create something unforgettable together!
