Dan: Skyland Resort, Shenandoah National Park Wedding
May 10, 2024
It’s not every day you get the chance to capture a wedding at a National park, but it’s also not every day that you come across a couple as incredible as Grace + Dan, so it seems like this was all meant to be.
Our story with this amazing couple started all the way back in the winter of 2022, when Dan reached out while he was planning to propose to Grace in the White Mountains of New Hampshire (our home turf!). Long story short, Grace said yes on a frozen lake surrounded by snow-covered mountains and her and Dan began to plan their celebration.
As an adventure-loving couple, it only made sense for their wedding to take place in a location special to them both, the mountains. And not just any mountains, rather one of their favorite places to visit (Grace and her family have been coming here for years) Skyland Resort at Shenandoah National Park.
After getting ready in separate lodges, Grace + Dan shared a first look in a private corner of the resort, wrapped in a blanket of Smoky Mountain fog. Once vows had been exchanged, dress shoes were exchanged for hiking boots and we made our way to the top of Stoney Man for some of the most epic wedding photos we have ever had the privilege of taking. The mountains poked in and out of the fog and Dan + Grace looked right at home on the summit, wind whipping their hair and the fierce look of love in their eyes.
Friends and family gathered from all over the world (seriously, like all the way from Singapore!), navigated their way to the top of the park through a blanket of fog and celebrated with Dan + Grace as they shared their vows. Following a beautiful ceremony on the cliffside lawn, guest filed to the lodge for drinks, dinner and dancing, where DJ Fit kept the crowd moving all night long.
As the day faded to twilight, the sun made its first appearance of the day, so we swept Dan + Grace off the dance floor to a nearby overlook where they took in their first sunset as husband and wife, and man oh man, did Mother Nature serve them us something special!
Thank you Grace + Dan for sharing such a special place with us and allowing us to capture the next step in your adventure together!
