Some wedding days feel like a whirlwind, but Heidi and Trent’s celebration in Capitol Reef National Park was the opposite. It was calm, meaningful, and overflowing with love. They chose to keep their day simple and intentional, prioritizing their connection with each other and their closest family and friends.

The ceremony took place among the stunning red rock cliffs of Capitol Reef. One of the sweetest moments was watching Heidi walk to the ceremony site with her three kids by her side, while her son-in-law played the guitar. It was heartfelt, personal, and completely unique to them.

Their friend led the ceremony and shared their love story, bringing laughter, tears, and so much joy. It felt like a true reflection of who Heidi and Trent are as a couple. This was the kind of intimate wedding that makes you feel lucky just to witness it.

After their vows, we snuck away for a few minutes and explored the cliffs and desert textures of Capitol Reef for their wedding portraits. The sun peaked through the storm clouds and created the perfect backdrop for capturing their love. These quiet moments together contrasted beautifully with the joyful celebration that followed.

To finish the day, everyone gathered at the Sky View Hotel in Torrey, where Heidi and Trent celebrated with their guests on the rooftop – eating, drinking, and dancing under the wide-open desert sky.

Heidi and Trent’s Capitol Reef wedding is a perfect example of how meaningful an intimate celebration can be. Whether you’re dreaming of an adventurous elopement in Southern Utah or a small wedding surrounded by your closest loved ones, days like this prove that simple, heartfelt moments often create the most beautiful memories.
