Jennifer and Tyler

Not afraid of a little snowy weather, Utah-based Jennifer Vander Veer and Tyler Wren set out to create a cozy wedding weekend in February in the bride's home state of Vermont. The itinerary? Nights by crackling fires, days filled with sledding outings, and a simple ceremony as the icing on the icy weekend.

Here, the happy pair clad in a Nancy Barrus Couture gown for Avenia Bridal and a suit by Beckett & Robb posed just before becoming Mr. and Mrs.

The Ceremony
