Winter Cabin Elopement in Priest Lake Idaho

If you’ve never thought about a winter elopement in Priest Lake, I bet you will after this! Priest Lake is a winter wonderland in the slow season, with sparkling snow piling on the pine trees and freezing portions of the lake over, while the mountains look like frozen majesties overlooking the landscape. It’s truly like a real life snow globe in the winter!


Bailey and Elliot rented a stunning cabin near the Priest Lake Golf Course with huge stunning windows looking out to the mountains across the way. Bailey shared her first look experience with Elliot as well as her son! Along with that they had a beautiful intimate ceremony in the backyard of the rental. Then we went to a nearby picnic area for family photos and whiskey shots! Next up was a beautiful first dance at sunset, and then we headed back to the cabin for lantern photos and pizza!


We all just had a great time hanging out together, sharing meaningful moments as well as hilarious moments! There was never a dull moment with these two during their intimate winter cabin elopement in Priest Lake, Idaho!


First Look in the Snow

After Bailey got her hair and makeup done by Terri Reece Studios, she put on her gorgeous sparkly wedding gown and we headed out into the snow for their romantic first look! As I mentioned earlier, Bailey got to two first looks - how special! Both of them were so heartfelt and sweet!



Intimate Backyard Ceremony

After the special first look moments with her boys, we met up with the officiant for the most perfect and intimate ceremony with the snowy mountains as their backdrop! Even though it was a snowy day, the sun was shining and it was just beautiful!



Sunset Bridals on Priest Lake

For our little adventure, we drove to a nearby picnic area for some bridals on the beach, and of course some photos with their kids too! Bailey and Elliot shared whiskey shots in adorable little Priest Lake shot glasses, and we all just admired the surrounding scenery together. Makenna Rene Floral nailed the bridal bouquet with gorgeous jewel tones, so perfect for a romantic winter elopement!



First Dance at Hill’s Resort 

As the sun started to go down, we drove down the road to Hill’s Resort! Here we walked down to the beach and they shared a sweet first dance together, with onlookers cheering them on! The frozen lake and pinky orange mountaintops were the best compliment to this location for their dance.



Pizza Dinner to Celebrate 

What better way to end the night of a winter elopement than with some fresh, hot pizza from Millie’s?! The pizza was absolutely delicious, 10/10 recommend! We also went out for some blue hour lantern photos in the backyard after the sun had set, just to play around and have some more fun! Bailey and Elliot made me laugh so much, it was truly a joy to get to hang out with them for their elopement day!
