Diana + Chad // The Mackay Bar Ranch// The Salmon River

When your bride and groom ask you to come along with them and camp out in the back-country of Idaho to a place that is only accessible via jet boating up the river or airplane and is off the grid with no cellphone service or internet, what do you say? You say, ” Heck yes, we’ll come!! And we will love every second!” And that we did! Last weekend at Mackay Bar was incredible! We can’t wait to photograph more weddings there! Our couple was set on a destination wedding in Hawaii but then heard about Mackay and one look at the images on their website, they changed from the sandy beaches of Hawaii to the back country of Idaho! And it was beautiful!! So future brides, if you are considering having your wedding at Mackay Bar….pick us, pick us!! 🙂

Diana and Chad’s family and friends treated us so wonderfully and we truly felt like one of them when it was time to say goodbye. From bridge-jumping to jet boating to fishing and yoga, they included us in it all.  The staff at The Mackay Bar was so friendly and hospitable! And the food!! DELISH! They truly have a top-notch crew and Joni made the wedding look beautiful and go off without a hitch!

The love that Diana and Chad share was so lovely to watch! Their wedding was perfect! Intimate with only their closest friends and family surrounding them. Their backdrop was the gorgeous Salmon River and beautiful deep river canyons! Our favorite part of the day was when we ended their portrait time taking a jet boat ride up the river! Only a couple as fun and chill as Diana and Chad would be up for a thrill ride on a jet boat in their wedding attire! We loved them even more for that!

Diana and Chad, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us spend such an incredible weekend with you and your people! You truly made us feel so welcomed that we felt like we had been friends for a such a long time! We wish you the absolute best and can’t wait to see you all again when you visit Idaho again!!

 

Much, much love!!

Rob + Laura
