After their winery venue canceled their big wedding due to COVID, Heather + Brandon decided to get married anyway, but in a way that was way more “them” than their original plan. And my oh my! It was beautiful, emotional, and such a fun party.

Since they’re adventurous and laid back people, this epic lookout in Big Bear deep in the woods/mountains was the perfect setting for their day. Their friend attended a wedding at this DIY lookout, so it was such perfect timing that they discovered this place right as they were on the brink of canceling their wedding altogether.

They got ready at the most beautiful mansion on the shore of Big Bear Lake before we all got in our trucks/Jeeps/SUVs to off road for 40 mins into the forest! I’ve off roaded before, but not like this!!! It was such a trip! I loved every second of it! Adventure and fun is my bread and butter; I couldn’t be more stoked!

Heather said their “Plan B wedding” worked out even better:

It has been a bumpy road (Both figuratively and literally). But that seems to fit our lifestlye just right. From one adventure to the next!

Yesterday, I married my best friend and I could not have imagined a more perfect day… – off the beaten path in nature, more perfect and more us than any other venue would’ve been. – surrounded by our favorite people who we are blessed to call family, both by blood and by choice. – our little girl and amazing puppy, Torii, who has been with us through every adventure since day 1. – And You, my Wife, looking more beautiful than ever.

This is far from our original plan but we endured the challenges thrown at us along the way which is only a sign of what we’re capable of achieving together. I thought calling you my Wife and wearing this ring would be weird, but nothing has ever felt so right. I love You, now and forever, and I’m so happy knowing that our next adventure has just begun…

Along with the closest 60 people in their lives and their doggo, Torii, their wedding couldn’t have been any more incredible. Here are some sneak peeks! Brb let me just dry my tears <3
