Nestled in the breathtaking beauty of Empire Lodge in Deer Valley, Jillian and Jacob’s mountain wedding radiated an air of refined tranquility. The couple chose a delicate palette of eucalyptus, hydrangea, delphinium, and thistle, infusing the celebration with soft hues that echoed the natural elegance of their alpine surroundings. The ceremony unfolded before a rustic huppah, its wooden beams adorned with cascading greenery and blooms, creating a serene focal point as family and friends gathered to witness their vows. The gentle mountain breeze and the peaceful landscape provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love and grace.

Jillian and Jacob’s love story began in the halls of Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida, where they first met as eleventh graders. What started as a high school romance blossomed over a decade of shared experiences and unwavering devotion. After ten years together, Jacob orchestrated a heartfelt proposal while fly fishing on the Provo River, a moment that perfectly captured their mutual love for adventure and the outdoors. When it came time to choose a wedding location, the decision was effortless—Utah’s mountains held cherished memories from countless family ski trips, and Empire Lodge, with its rustic charm and panoramic views, felt like coming home.

Adding a touch of sentimental significance, Jillian and Jacob chose to exchange vows on the same date as Jillian’s parents’ wedding anniversary, weaving another layer of love and tradition into their celebration. Their wedding was not only a testament to their enduring relationship but also a beautiful homage to family, shared passions, and the timeless allure of the mountains.
