I'll go ahead and answer this now--Yes, they hiked in their full wedding attire 😱

After renewing their vows, Sarah and Dmitriy share a romantic kiss against the stunning backdrop of Zion National Park.

Some weddings are more than just a beautifully romantic day—they’re unforgettable experiences of stories unfolding in real time. That was absolutely the case with Sarah and Dmitriy’s vow renewal, which I had the honor of capturing over a breathtaking spring weekend in Zion National Park.

From the very start, this weekend was a perfect blend of intimacy, adventure, and natural wonder. Sarah and Dmitriy chose to reaffirm their vows surrounded by the raw, majestic beauty of Zion—a place that’s always held a special place in the brides heart. With spring in full bloom, the park was glowing: wildflowers were waking up, waterfalls were flowing, and the sandstone cliffs were lit with warm, golden sunlight.

We started our journey in Kolob Canyons, tucked into the quieter northwest corner of the park. The serenity here is unreal. Towering crimson peaks framed their ceremony and afterward we took time to explore, letting the landscapes guide the pace. The wind, the sun, and the sound of distant water became part of their story.

On the day of the ceremony they exchanged their vows again in a quiet ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family. The light filtered through the cliffs like a blessing making the photos truly magical beyond comparison. After the ceremony in Kolob Canyons, Sarah, Dmitriy and myself ventured to a couple other trails on the southeast side of the park for some bridal portraits and epic views.

To wrap up the day, we returned to the airbnb where a formal Lebanese dinner awaited. Surrounded by their people, the evening was filled with heartfelt toasts, laughter, and delicious stuffed grape leaves. The celebration was so relaxing after a long day in the mountains—reflecting exactly who they are as a couple. Every detail felt intentional and meaningful from the start of the day to the very end.

Photographing Sarah and Dmitriy’s vow renewal wasn’t just about documenting a weekend. It was about capturing a deep, soulful kind of love in one of the most awe-inspiring places on earth.
