This past week Teton Valley had it’s First Annual Great Snow Fest. It was a great week full of Snow Sculpting, Fat bikes, Skijoring and a snow ball. I had the honor to take photos of the snow sculpting throughout the week. It was amazing to watch the snow blocks turn in to a piece of art. Each one was creative and brought joy to many people. Over 1500 people voted for the peoples choice award. It was great to see so much activity in the valley. To get a block of snow they started of with boxes that are used for cement work. Slowly they are filed with snow. Once one layer of snow is dumped people climb in and start stomping.

The first place team were also first time snow sculptures. They created a whimsical dragon.

The second place team was inspired by the Christmas story.They were also first timers and created a creative piece.

Third place and also peoples choice award was a solo artist, Kevin Coughlan. His dancing bears brought many smiles to the valley.

Here’s a few more…

The Snow Fest was such a great thing to come to our valley! I really enjoyed all that it had to offer and I want to thank the great minds behind it. I know a lot of hard work went into the planning and it was a wonderful week. I’m already looking forward to next years, and may even be inspired to do a sclupture.

Matt & Julie | Driggs, Idaho Wedding

Matt and Julie had a DIY green friendly wedding just north of Driggs at a private residence. It was one of the few rainy days in July but it cleared just in time for the ceremony and made for some beautiful light at sunset. They were married by one of their friends Glenn, who did an amazing job of making the ceremony full of laughter and love. Instead of flowers Julie opted for pinwheels and had her traveling gnome had the head table. The day was a celebration of the love these two share. Congratulations Matt & Julie, may your life be a celebration!

Kelli and Brian are two of the nicest people I have ever met. Kelly is very happy and you can’t help but feel her contagious positive energy. Brian has the sweetest smile and you can just tell what a gentleman he his. For example he really wanted to pick Kelly’s bouquet and put it together for her. He went Teton Canyon before the ceremony and picked a beautiful wildflower bouquet. The wedding was full of laughter, love and friendship which will last a lifetime. Congratulations Kelli & Brian!
