Jenn + Lindsey | A Snowstorm Wedding at Silver Fork Lodge
Jenn and Lindsey didn’t plan on a snowstorm for their September wedding. But that’s exactly what they got.
By the time their guests made it up Big Cottonwood Canyon, the snow was coming down hard—thick, steady, and piling up fast. Getting to the venue felt like part of the experience. Everyone had to slow down, bundle up, and make their way through the kind of weather that you expect in February, not September.
Silver Fork Lodge, tucked near the top of the canyon in Brighton, Utah, has been around since the 1940s. Originally built as a café and lodge for skiers and locals, it still carries that old-mountain charm—wood-paneled walls, a big stone fireplace, creaky floors, and a kind of weathered warmth that feels lived-in. On this particular day, it was wrapped in fresh powder and low-hanging clouds, the storm giving everything a quiet, soft edge.
Inside, it was the opposite of cold. Friends and family had traveled in from all over the country, and the energy was immediate—laughter, hugs, clinking glasses, layers peeled off and thrown over chairs. It wasn’t a big or overly styled wedding. The vibe was more like a close-knit winter gathering—intimate, grounded, and full of heart.
There was no dramatic aisle, no over-the-top production. Just Jenn and Lindsey, standing together with snow falling around them, saying what they meant. Their vow were beautiful, honest. Real. You could feel how much these words mattered, and how much it meant to say them in front of the people who had shown up, despite the weather, to witness it.
The snow didn’t stop all day, but no one seemed to mind. If anything, it made the celebration feel even more memorable. It wasn’t perfect in the traditional or planned sense—and that’s exactly what made it so good.
