Katie and Sebastian's wedding day at Oak Hills Reception in Layton was magical. Nestled in the picturesque foothills, this venue provided a stunning mountain backdrop that perfectly complemented their love story. The Barn added a playful yet chic vibe to the day, adorned with twinkling bistro lights and drapery that enhanced its rustic charm. The Ceremony Garden was equally enchanting, featuring pergolas for shaded seating. Every detail of Oak Hills was thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting ambiance, including spacious dressing suites where Katie and their daughter Elena prepared for the big moment.


One of the most memorable stories from Katie and Sebastian's journey together came during their first hike at Donut Falls. As they shared laughs and engaging conversations on their way there, an unexpected event unfolded when they encountered a child who had fallen nearby. In that moment, Katie’s selflessness shone through as she rushed to help him—an early glimpse of her caring nature that Sebastian would come to cherish throughout their relationship.


As a wedding photographer, I appreciated Katie’s enthusiasm for creativity; her request for some fun experimentation with low shutter techniques allowed me to explore new ideas while capturing their special moments. It’s always refreshing when couples bring suggestions to the table—it inspires me while making our collaboration even more enjoyable! With Katie's radiant spirit and Sebastian's easygoing charm, they were an absolute delight to photograph. Their wedding day reflects not only their passion but also the warmth of those around them—a beautiful celebration set against one of Layton's finest backdrops at Oak Hills Reception.
