M. Felt Photography | Destination Wedding Photographer - Zion National Park Weddings and Elopements

Weddings have a way of revealing who you are and the way your people show up for you. A wedding is the perfect opportunity to see all of the attention, care, and love that a couple has put into their relationships as it gets reflected back to them. It was immediately clear that Cassie + Danny had a tribe that loved them fiercely! Their destination wedding took place at Autocamp, a luxury glamping destination located in Virgin Utah, just outside of Zion National Park. It was the ideal location to host this eclectic crew who traveled from Southern California to the desert of Utah.

The first night at Autocamp was an epic Welcome Dinner featuring a massive spread from Chef Shon Foster. It was immediately obvious that this group knew how to have a good time and had great style! Among a sea of Stetson hats, Pendleton sweaters & bolo neckties you could pick out a few famous faces in the crowd. It ended up being a fun and mellow hang that got everybody in wedding mode.

Wedding day we were greeted with good vibes and blue skies, perfect for an outdoor wedding in Zion National Park! The fellas hopped aboard a tour bus at Zion Autocamp to get spiffed up for the day ahead. It was a laid back scene that involved a really great looking custom suit paired with designer shoes and accessories. But what stood out the most was the solid friendships. These guys all had Danny's back to make sure his day went smoothly. Meanwhile the ladies were getting ready for the day in a beautiful suite at La Fave. It was a relaxing pace and Cassie really seemed to be taking it all in with the full support of her people.

Laura and her amazing crew at Forevermore Events had an absolutely stunning ceremony set in the grass field located at Switchback Steakhouse in downtown Springdale. The set up was amazing, nestled next to the Virgin River and with the peaks of Zion all in the background. The ceremony was so sweet and heartfelt. You could feel how much these two love each other and were incredibly supported by so many family and friends.

Time to head back to Autocamp to eat and P-A-R-T-Y!

Chef Shon was back for another night, which is always a good sign! He and his crew threw down an awesome spread and topped the night meal off with an ice cream table.

We had heard that some of the bride and grooms close friends were going to do a special performance and as I mentioned earlier there were some VERY famous faces hanging in the background. There was a buzz about what could go down and we were excited.

Time to cut loose! Our cozy wedding tent in sleepy Southern Utah was about to throw down. DJ Bobby Booshay started cutting and mixing an awesome live DJ set. It’s not every wedding that brings in a touring DJ and this guy was slaying his set! Then the badass drummer known as Rook climbed up on the stage and he started playing to Bobby’s set. It is hard to overstate how insane this was! This is a guy who is used to playing in sold out stadiums in front of thousands of people and he is crushing a set for an intimate wedding in a little ol’ town in Utah. Words aren't adequate! After these guys put on a set of a lifetime, Grammy award winning country singer Dustin Lynch climbs up on the table with a microphone. He gives a really sincere speech about how much he loves our bride and groom and then breaks out singing his hit song Stars Like Confetti. Our bride and groom are having the time of their life and Dustin hands the mic to Danny to sing the chorus! It was pure magic.

Now this was hard to top. But suddenly, their wedding guest and friend, Machine Gun Kelly, is climbing on the table with the microphone. He gives a heartfelt toast and apparently our bride is the reason this man can leave the country to tour. Dude. MGK is now joining his drummer Rook and DJ Bobby Booshay and he starts performing now too! Absolutely wild!

The party is thoroughly hyped and the dance floor was full to the brim with everybody. Mom’s, grandma’s and what feels like half of L.A are all cutting loose and having a good time. This was definitely a wedding to remember. We absolutely love when wedding guests are part of the entertainment. It's always a great way to express love for the couple on their wedding day and is a touching show of affection. I’ll never forget the day that we were able to witness Internationally touring artist do that for this bride and groom. These guys were amazing, but there was true love and joy in these performances and it was incredible!
