Our photographers needed to be adventurous and flexible enough to be able to deal with a weather pending date and not be afraid of getting on the net/near the cliff edges… The Fruit Bowl is also a very large area to cover with a lot going on, so we really needed someone skilled who could take on that challenge, and The Hearnes Adventure Photography definitely met the task! I made sure that the silkists had matching white silks and the lyra was wrapped in white tape since white seems to be the only color that stands out in that canyon. Luckily, we have very talented friends who were more than happy to help.

We wanted the full energy of the festival… which included our friends highlining around us, doing acrobats, making bubbles, playing music, and doing silks and lyra under us during our wedding. We had to literally invent a “spacenet aisle,” make sure it was safe to walk on, and get it rigged closely enough to the cliff in a new location to make sure our guests can hear and see everything and the wireless microphones would work. Our venue “aisle” concept had never been done before… To get out onto spacenets, people generally walk the slackline out to them or slide across the slackline (like a zipline) to get to it.

Oh, and did we mention that the Spacenet is 400 feet in the air - over the canyon?! The big day was actually spread out amongst three days, to accommodate the fickle weather - a first look portrait session in the desert, a dress rehearsal on the net, and the actual wedding day. They worked closely with Andy Lewis (AKA Sketchy), Ryan’s best man, to have their ceremony on Andy’s invention: the Spacenet. The two fell in love in Moab, Utah at a slacklining festival, and happened to get engaged there a few years later, so it only felt right to say their vows there, too!

Love is in the air… literally! The moment we saw Kim + Ryan’s incredible *suspended* wedding on Instagram, we wanted to know all the details, and were so excited when we saw the couple had actually already submitted their day for us to share! 🙂 As professional slackliners, K+R specialize in highlining, which is a sport similar to tightrope walking… only hundreds of feet in the air (don’t worry - they wear harnesses!).
