As a Jackson Hole wedding photographer, I’ve been to my fair share of weddings. Those weddings oftentimes have the best guests. I’m talking horses, pets, and of course all the couple’s friends and family. In 2023, couples are getting more creative in ways to include pets in wedding ceremonies. It’s been such a unique and cute way for all the important people to be with them. I’m sharing all my favorite ways to include pets in your Grand Teton wedding.

Get Ready with Your Pet

If you’re anything like me, your pets are family, and have to be with you on your wedding day. While you’re getting ready on your Grand Teton wedding day, consider inviting your pet to be alongside you. Before making a big life change, you’ll want your best friends by your side. Having your pet with you while you get ready is a great way to lessen stress, and have fun together! We’ll make sure to take lots of pictures of the two of you together. After all it is one of the most important days of your life!

Include your Pets in your Grand Teton Wedding Ceremony and Portraits

Ever considered having your pets in your wedding ceremony? Invite your fur-baby to be the flower girl’s helper, or even ring bearer! It’s such a fun way to keep your ceremony personalized to your relationship. Especially if you share pets together. These will be fond moments to look back on for years to come. After you promise your forever to your partner, we’ll take portraits together! Consider dressing your pet up with a flower collar or a special bow for the wedding.

Signature Drinks

I’m sure you’ve heard of his and hers drinks, now we’re introducing drinks named after your pets. It’s a simple and fun way to include pets in your Grand Teton wedding after party! Offer your guests the opportunity to be apart of the family with drinks named after your pets and celebrate together. Check out custom signs on Etsy!

Photo Booth Props to Include Pets in Your Grand Teton Wedding

Next, we’re talking about a photo booth! I’m talking like the kind at the roller rink you took pictures with your friends – but make it wedding chic. Blow up your favorite pictures of your pets and cut them out as props to use in the photo booth. It’s such a silly way to make the experience more personal and include pets in the after party too! Etsy also has great options to help streamline the process.

Engagement Session with Pets

Lastly, consider bringing your pets along to your engagement session. We’ll find a location that allows for pets and let you all just have fun together. Life’s moments are so fleeting and they should be enjoyed. If you have pets – let them be included in your legacy together. Your family will look back on this for years to come.
