EDITOR’S LETTER

Oh, Wyoming - a lifetime of love letters will never fully justify your endless beauty. Yet, here I am, again, overwhelmed with gratitude for my roots and this very community. From the quiet, country roads of my hometown to shared bourbon with old friends on a summer night below the Snowy’s, I have never felt such a strong sense of belonging. Thank you for supporting and reveling in my vision for this issue which was ultimately sparked through the eyes of my mother who saw beauty in the smallest of places and light in the wildest of characters.

To the lovers out there that wish to make Wyoming a part of your forever love story, may the following pages inspire you to embrace your roots while embodying your unique relationship. May you be all that you are as individuals and all you hope to become as partners.

Finally, ol’ Square State, you are “Forever West” to most, but forever home to me. It is truly one of my greatest blessings that I am so honored to share your beauty through RMB, always and forever. Powder river, let ‘er buck! xx

Chelsea

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

My heart lies in Wyoming. Childhood memories and happy times with family only add to my love of this beautiful state. With each magazine that goes to print, we reminisce about the shoots attended, amazing people we have met along the way and the silliness of office time while working to put such a beautiful publication together. Wyoming, because it was in the hands of one of my all time favorite folks, has always had wonderful stories. With this being our Wyoming Editor’s last issue, there is a bittersweet feeling that comes over me. I am excited for her and her new adventure, everyone at RMB is, and I am proud that her consistency and character wouldn’t allow her to depart without passing her home state’s publication into amazing hands. From when we launched our Wyoming issue to where it is today is in great part to not only those I have the pleasure of working with, but also all who have put their hearts into creating such stunning content for each issue! I thank each and every one of the amazing vendors and wonderful couples within these pages for their hard work, the beauty they have created and for allowing us to share within! xo

I love the bohemian bridal style and wanted to create something that unique brides could look at for inspiration. This shoot in the Tetons was created for a workshop, cohosted by both Quincy’s Photos and I. We designed this shoot to be focused on brides who want to elope in the mountains. With a flower crown, a beautiful lace dress and the green landscape, I started to see our vision come together. Highlighting the mountains and the true love between this couple, I was taken away by the beauty of the Tetons and how this look turned out.

PICNIC PRETTY Be inspired by the summer season in the Rockies and incorporate a feminine, yet earthy color palette into your picnic design. We are smitten for the way soft pinks and lavender pop against a neutral blanket along the sandy banks of the lake. Doll up the scene with organic floral, designed by Flowers by Chloe, and an illustrated map of the Tetons crafted by Palindrome Studio. Meet your hearts belonging with colorful plates and endless sunshine as the afternoon turns to night.

Courtney + Cody

Courtney and Cody crossed paths in high school... well sort of. You see, Courtney’s cousin went to the same school as Cody, and, naturally, she was always her cousin’s date to prom. Cody caught Courtney’s eye immediately. She had the biggest crush on him for years but could never build up enough courage to approach him. They always knew of each other but never spoke. One summer, while Courtney was home preparing to compete in Miss USA, Cody finally reached out over Facebook and asked her on a first date. A mountain adventure and picnic quickly led to dinner on the town. As much as Courtney tried to not fall in love with Cody due to timing and logistics, she did. She fell hard. The two dated long distance before making things official in 2013. Cody asked Courtney to marry him through a homemade video, which he played and got down on one knee in his family’s living room on vacation in Seattle. They planned a modern bash in her hometown for July 7th.

SIMPLE + THOUGHTFUL Courtney envisioned a modern, Wyoming wedding focused around community and culture. She took inspiration from the clean lines of the Brinton Museum and the colorful, summer season along the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. Better yet, Courtney and Cody incorporated details and moments that reflected their roots, love story and personal beliefs. Simple and thoughtful, the day was just as breathtaking as it was fun!

YOUR MESS IS MINE

“Our love story represents the beauty, the hardship and the laughs along the way. It seems as if nothing ever goes as planned between Cody and I, yet we just keep rolling. I believe the mess and the madness of being together in love is so important to capture. I wanted all of it present on our wedding day.�

Ryan + Shawn Ryan and Shawn went to high school together, yet their adventure began in college. A mutual friend brought them together at an intramural soccer team practice. Shawn easily talked Ryan into a first date to the movies, where they ultimately left early because they simply couldn’t stop talking to one another! The rest was history. Ryan called it love at first sight while Shawn was hooked long before soccer practice! In April of 2017, the couple vacationed to St. Thomas to celebrate their third anniversary together. The day after they flew in, Ryan and Shawn met the sunrise to wander seaside and soak in the low tide. As their toes met the sand, Shawn begged Ryan for a photo.

He set up the self timer on his camera just in time to land on one knee, place Ryan’s hand in his and ask her to be his wife. Between happy dances, she said, “Yes!” They planned a bohemian, summer wedding on the lush, Casper Mountain for August 18th.

They created an elevated, whimsical design while capturing their Western roots in the details. Inspired by summer sunsets, Ryan incorporated a soft color palette rich in gold and shades of pink. Ryan and Shawn reveled in forever looking over their hometown.

COME PICK ME UP “It poured rain immediately after our ceremony.

However, in classic Wyoming fashion, the storm passed over the hills just minutes after. Shawn and I snuck away from the party as our friends and family dried off inside. He picked me up and carried me through fields of tall grasses and wildflowers. In that moment, we were able to just be - the two of us.

Tess + Bryce

real wedding

Tess and Bryce found young love in high school. However, college led them on their own adventures. Bryce headed west to San Diego while Tess moved to Fort Collins for school. Two years later, Tess’s mother crossed paths with Bryce at their hometown grocery store and encouraged him to reach out to her daughter (thanks Mom!).

The rest is history! They reconnected only to confirm the undenying chemistry between them. Tess and Bryce fell in love in many places, yet their story eventually brought them back to Casper. In December of 2016, Bryce proposed on the front porch of their first home as snow fell from the night sky. Completely taken back, Tess said, “Yes!” They planned an intimate, heartfelt wedding day in Jackson for May 26th.

TA K E M E T O T H E T E T O N S “Bryce and I knew we wanted to get married in Jackson in May. The mountain town always seems to embody a local feeling in the spring that is truly authentic to the Wyoming we know and love.

Jackson was close enough to home to hold meaning for the both of us, and it was such a fun destination to share with our friends and family. It couldn’t have been more ‘us’!”

HERE’S TO FOREVER The breathtaking Spring Creek Ranch played host to Tess & Bryce’s wedding weekend in the Tetons. As a bride, Tess hoped to incorporate a wedding day design that was true to her and Bryce as a couple while also nodding to their individual passions and aesthetics. Above all, this was THEIR day, and she refused that Bryce ever play the supporting actor.

With the help of their local vendor team, they created a classic look with a fun, modern spin. The decor was intentional and minimalistic to not only invite the magic of the outdoors in, but to keep the evening centered around what’s most important - celebrating the beginning of a beautiful marriage.

Brady was different than any man Betsy had ever met, and he made it easy to fall in love with him. In December of 2016, the couple road tripped down to Fort Collins to spend the holidays with Betsy’s family. Brady took Betsy on a detour through Laramie to “pick up her Christmas present”. After passing through town he took the Veadawoo exit, their favorite local climbing spot. As they got out of the car to stretch their legs, Brady grabbed Betsy’s hand, got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. Without hesitation, she said, “Yes!” They planned a naturally sophisticated wedding in downtown Laramie for August 11th.

B U T F I R S T , F A M I LY !

“Having our wedding centered around our daughter, Addison, was incredibly special to us. With her present, the celebration held deeper meaning. Our wedding day wasn’t just about promising forever and a party afterwards, it was about the three of us becoming a family.”

SMALL TOWN LOVE

After debating on a location, Betsy and Brady ultimately decided to become Mr. and Mrs. in the small town where they fell in love. The Laramie community, and the countless memories made, held such a special place in their hearts that they knew they wanted to share that feeling with their loved ones.

The Historic Ivinson Mansion played host perfectly to their simple, laid-back wedding day.

UNDER THE SETTING SUN Forgo your traditional barn ceremony and opt for a more natural setting riverside. Mismatched, vintage chairs welcome your friends and family in while a geometric, wooden arch puts your love in focus. Turn heads with textured floral arrangements adorned in pampas grass, dried floral and statement proteas, designed by Poppys. Above all, keep your ceremony decor intentional and simple as colors dance across the Wyoming landscape. Truly a scene worth crushing over!

Jessi + Craig

Jessi and Craig met outside of Globe Hall, a Denver bar, on the eve of Jessi’s birthday. Just as Jessi was about to catch a ride home, Craig and two friends asked her to come along for a nightcap. A nightcap quickly turned into a follow-up date the next night over jazz and wine. The two connected instantly and fell in love. In 2017, the couple headed North to spend the holidays with Jessi’s family in Jackson. On Christmas morning, they unwrapped presents one by one until just one present was left under the tree for Jessi. Jessi opened the gift to find her and Craig’s favorite stuffed pig, Ernie, with a stunning ring around his neck. Completely surprised, she looked up to find Craig on one knee. He grabbed her hand and said, “Jessi West you have my heart. Will you be my wife?” Through tears, of course, she answered, “Yes!” They planned a colorful and carefree wedding at Jessi’s childhood home below the Tetons for July 21st.

BAREFOOT BRIDE “Craig and I wanted our day to be easy with a backyard bash type of feel. Being a wedding planner and designer, I didn’t want to feel as if I was working on my wedding day. I am a true hippie at heart and dreamt of being barefoot on my wedding day with a slice of pizza and glass of wine in hand in my favorite place in the entire world. The day ended up being imperfectly, perfect! Our effortless, handmade and fun celebration was everything we hoped it to be and more.”

AS YOU WISH

Jessi and Craig loved their ceremony. The couple’s friend, Bill, recited the opening lines from Princess Bride to lead the two into “I do!” It was extremely emotional and sweet. Their pup, Luna, was simply the star of the show, and couldn’t help but bark out of jealousy when Jessi shared her vows. Their guests laughed and cried as Jessi and Craig became husband and wife.
