Planning a Diamond Cross Ranch Wedding? Here's Why It's Unforgettable

We couldn’t wait for this day from the moment Gather Events Company—Wyoming’s premier wedding design and planning team—reached out about Paige and Sam’s wedding. As photographers who document multiple events each year in Jackson Hole, we were thrilled to capture our first wedding at the iconic Diamond Cross Ranch. Known as one of the last historic ranches in Teton County, this venue boasts panoramic views of Mount Moran and the Tetons, with grazing horses adding a touch of magic to the sprawling, untouched landscape. It felt like stepping into a living postcard, and we knew immediately that this wedding was going to be one for the books.

Why Choose a Wedding at Diamond Cross Ranch?

Diamond Cross Ranch is more than just a venue; it’s a serene oasis, far from the hustle of tourist hotspots and surrounded by pure Wyoming beauty. From the moment we and Paige and Sam’s guests arrived, we were all struck by the tranquility and grandeur of the setting. It’s no wonder this ranch is a favorite for couples seeking an unforgettable wedding experience in Jackson Hole. As we drove up the long, winding road to the ranch, the sight of the open pastures and distant mountains gave us chills. There’s something so humbling about being surrounded by nature’s raw beauty, and Diamond Cross Ranch delivers that in abundance.

A Dream Celebration for Paige and Sam

Paige and Sam’s wedding was as heartfelt as it was beautiful. Their love and admiration for one another were evident from their first look at Schwabacher Landing. Although midday lighting often poses challenges, the bright sunshine illuminated the stunning mountain skyline, creating timeless portraits. Seeing Sam’s reaction when he saw Paige for the first time was a moment we’ll never forget. His tears of joy were a testament to how deeply he feels for her, and it was such a privilege to capture that raw emotion through our lenses.

Outdoor Ceremony at Diamond Cross Ranch

The couple chose a simple outdoor ceremony at Diamond Cross Ranch, allowing the natural beauty of the surroundings to take center stage. With Dandelion Floral’s elegant arrangements of white flowers and greenery, the aesthetic perfectly complemented the ranch’s rugged charm. One highlight unique to this venue was the ceremonial horse release during Paige and Sam’s first kiss. The thunder of hooves and the breathtaking scene of horses running across the field made for an unforgettable moment—it felt like a movie come to life. As the herd galloped past, we found ourselves overwhelmed by the magic of the moment.

The parasols, provided by Gather Events Co, became more than just shade from the midday sun, guests were also loving them for photo props for their mountain selfies.

Tented Reception with Teton Views

The celebration continued with a tented reception in a lush meadow overlooking the Tetons. Guests enjoyed a gourmet meal prepared by Provisions while soaking in the awe-inspiring views. A unique pegboard seating chart added a creative touch, guiding guests to their spots as the evening unfolded. The attention to detail in every element of this wedding was remarkable, from the handcrafted decor to the thoughtfully curated dinner menu. We couldn’t help but marvel at how seamlessly everything came together to create an atmosphere of joy and celebration.

Sunset Photos with Horses

After dinner and heartfelt toasts, we whisked Paige and Sam away for a magical sunset session with the Diamond Cross Ranch horses. This wasn’t just about capturing stunning images; it was an intimate experience that left a lasting impression. Paige described it as “one of the coolest things I’ve ever done,” and it’s easy to see why. Moments like these make a Diamond Cross Ranch wedding truly one of a kind. As we stood in the golden light, surrounded by these majestic animals, we felt a deep sense of gratitude for the work we do. These are the kinds of moments that remind us why we love being wedding photographers.

An Unforgettable Party

The night came alive with entertainment by Patrick & LVB, an Emmy Award-winning band flown in from Las Vegas. Their vibrant energy and chart-topping hits had everyone on the dance floor. Guests—and we as photographers—were swept up in the joy and celebration under the tent’s colorful lights. It was a party that no one will forget. The energy was electric, and we found ourselves dancing along with our cameras in hand, capturing every laugh, every twirl, and every exuberant cheer. Seeing everyone come together to celebrate Paige and Sam’s love in such a joyful way was truly inspiring.
