Location
Kendra and Jackson's wedding at Solitude Mountain Resort was more than a destination celebration - it was a full-scale Minnesota migration to the mountains. Nearly 100 guests made the trip from Minnesota to Utah, turning their wedding into an unforgettable weekend getaway tucked inside Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Their ceremony took place indoors, surrounded by the warmth of the lodge and the dramatic alpine scenery just beyond the windows. It was intimate and emotional - refined but relaxed - the kind of ceremony where you could feel how far everyone had traveled, not just in miles but in meaning.
And then, in true mountain fashion, the formalities paused for something unforgettable.
Immediately after the ceremony, Kendra and Jackson - still dressed for their wedding day - headed out to ski. Guests watched as they traded traditional post-ceremony mingling for fresh powder and wide-open runs. It was spontaneous, cinematic, and perfectly them. The mountains weren't just their backdrop; they were part of the celebration.
The reception embraced a full après-ski energy. Instead of a traditional ballroom feel, the evening leaned into cozy alpine charm — gathering spaces that encouraged conversation, warmth, and movement. Their first dances took place in the middle of an après-style celebration, blending elegance with mountain culture. It felt less like a formal program and more like an elevated ski lodge party — joyful, immersive, and entirely intentional.
