There are some weddings that feel less like a single day and more like an entire experience — and that’s exactly what this one was. As an Idaho photo and video duo, we had the privilege of documenting a wedding weekend at Camp Alice Pittenger in McCall, Idaho that overflowed with emotion, connection, and nostalgia.
A Summer Camp Wedding Straight Out of Parent Trap
The couple dreamed up a wedding weekend inspired by one of the best feelings ever — summer camp. Think Parent Trap, but for adults. From the moment guests arrived, the energy was playful, warm, and full of anticipation.
Friends and family traveled from all over the country, many staying at the camp for the entire weekend. They spent their days kayaking, swimming, exploring the pines, and soaking up every minute together. By the time the wedding day arrived, the entire place felt like one big, joyful reunion.
An Emotional Ceremony — Rain and All
As the ceremony began, the unexpected happened — the sky opened up, and it started raining. Instead of running for cover or delaying anything, the couple and their guests embraced it fully.
Umbrellas popped open, raindrops fell across the lake, and the moment became even more emotional. The rain only added to the magic, creating a cinematic, deeply memorable backdrop for their vows. It felt raw, intimate, and honest — the kind of moment we live to capture as an Idaho photo and video duo.
A Weekend Filled With Connection
Throughout the weekend, the couple prioritized one thing above all: time together. Not just with each other, but with the people they love most.
Some of our favorite memories included:
- Kayaking across the quiet camp lake at sunset
- Guests laughing around the fire
- Swimming and lounging like kids again
- Heartfelt speeches that had everyone wiping tears
It wasn’t just a wedding — it was a celebration of community, friendship, and the kind of love that brings everyone together.
Reception Highlights
The reception was lively, intimate, and packed with personal touches. From the décor to the music, everything reflected the couple’s fun, laid-back personality.
