Jenessa & Reed's Rist Canyon Inn Wedding: Dogs, Cookies & Cheer!

Jenessa and Reed’s wedding at the scenic Rist Canyon Inn was filled with sweet moments, bold moves, and a whole lot of heart. With planning support from Mountain Magnolia, their celebration was rustic, romantic, and totally personal.

The couple’s three pups – Biscuits, Ally, and Maia- were VIP guests, adding cuteness to every photo. Jenessa stunned in a lace gown with a glam updo by Gallipot Salon, and Reed kept things classic in navy. The reception tables featured beer growlers from local breweries as vases, and guests “found their table by growler” in a creative seating chart setup.

Dinner, catered by the always-delicious Juli y Juan, wowed guests with fresh, colorful plates. Instead of cake, they served a towering cookie cake and a full spread of gourmet cookies from Mary’s Mountain Cookies. The dance floor came alive thanks to Jammin’ DJs, especially when Jenessa (a former cheerleader!) was literally lifted into the air.

Captured perfectly by We the Light Photography, this wedding was a celebration of joy, flavor, and furry friends.
