Nicho + Claire | Mountain Shadows Resort Wedding

FILED IN: Wedding

Nicho and Claire had a beautiful Mountain Shadows Resort wedding right before the pandemic happened! A week before Nicho and Claire’s wedding, we were all watching the weather forecast daily. It stated 100% chance of rain on their wedding day! Luckily for us we are always prepared for rain. We had 10 clear umbrellas available for the entire wedding party to use. Then Claire even bought individual ponchos for all the guests to wear during the ceremony so they could stay dry! She did not want to move her wedding indoors and who could blame her? The ceremony space had the most beautiful mountain views!

As we got to drove up to Mountain Shadows Resort for the big day, it was pouring. It lightened up while we were shooting the getting ready portraits and details but as soon as Claire walked out to do her first look with her dad, the clouds disappeared and the sun came out. They got the luckiness from the rain since technically it did rain on their big day without them getting soaked!

As you can see from the pictures, this Mountain Shadows Resort wedding was picture perfect!

* Bridal Review *

“My now husband and I cannot say enough great things about Kevin and Suzanne. We originally selected them because we knew a few couples who had previously used them for their big day, but now we can tell everyone that uses KSL has the same great experience. Kevin took our engagement photos and journeyed up to Sedona with us. The photos turned out stunningly, and he even helped us work through our awkwardness in taking them. For our wedding, they were punctual, professional, and kept everyone on the correct schedule. We had terrible weather leading right up until the ceremony, and they really maximized the time for photos after the ceremony to ensure we got them in before the weather turned on us. When it started raining again, they even had us go back out to get some more pictures. Because of this, we’re going to have a wide variety of shots! Even better, Kevin and Suzanne made sure we had time to enjoy ourselves (and the food). While we haven’t gotten our gallery just yet, the sneak peeks look fantastic. You definitely can’t go wrong picking KSL for your big day!”
