Mark + Patti’s Dreamy Ski Wedding at Deer Valley Resort
Some couples do a first dance. Some do a first look. And then there’s Mark + Patti, who said, “Forget that, let’s go SKIING ON OUR WEDDING DAY!!!”
Yep. You read that right. These two love adventure, love the mountains, and love each other in the most down-for-anything, let’s-make-life-fun kind of way. So naturally, their wedding day was exactly that—bold, beautiful, and absolutely unforgettable.
A Snowy, High-Altitude Love Story
The whole thing went down at Deer Valley Resort, one of the most stunning ski resorts in Utah (and honestly, in the country). OMGGGGGGGGG snow-capped peaks, pine trees dusted in white, and two people who couldn’t stop smiling!!! IT WAS A DREAM!
Mark + Patti wanted their day to be equal parts adventure and intimacy—something that reflected who they are together. And honestly? It was PERFECT.
The ceremony itself was intimate and heartfelt, tucked into a cozy, snow-covered venue that felt straight out of a winter dream. They exchanged vows in front of a roaring fireplace, surrounded by their closest friends and family, while the snow fell softly outside.
And then? A fireside après-ski reception with cocktails, warm blankets, and the BEST energy.
The Best Kind of Party
Listen. I’ve been to a LOT of weddings. But there’s something about a ski lodge reception that just hits different.
• Live music playing while the fire crackled
• Drinks flowing and people laughing like crazy
• The kind of joy that just fills the whole dang room
Mark + Patti wanted a day that felt like them—laid-back but full of life, simple but deeply meaningful. And WOW, did they nail it.
Why I’ll Never Forget This One
Utah weddings are already magic, but this?? THIS is why I love being a Utah wedding photographer and videographer.
The combination of wild adventure + deep romance was unreal. It wasn’t just a wedding—it was an experience, a celebration, and a once-in-a-lifetime kind of day.
Mark + Patti, I can’t thank you enough for letting us be part of this. Your love is as big as these mountains, and I already know this was just the first of SO many epic adventures ahead.
