Forever Wild Vows was born out of a collective desire to help couples break free from tradition and create a day that reflects their unique love story. Our team of friends is dedicated to curating intimate and unforgettable elopement experiences surrounded by the beauty of the Adirondacks. There is peace in simplicity and value in the celebration of love in its purest and most intimate form. As an Adirondack elopement photographer, planner, officiant, and videography team, we are dedicated to capturing the essence of your special day amidst the breathtaking beauty of the ADK!

Perfect, that is the only way to describe our wedding day with Forever Wild. The team, the locations, the time, and even the weather all came together to give us our dream wedding. Tom, Lexi, and Marc Anthony helped us put our elopement together in only 6 weeks! Their outstanding knowledge of the Adirondacks led us to the stunning mountain views of Cobble Lookout for our ceremony and the still, quiet waters of Cascade Lake. Tom and Lexi are outstanding photographers and really captured every moment of our day! With almost 200 pictures in our album, each one was better than the last. Marc Anthony, our officiant, is an absolute gentleman. He led our ceremony with positive, heartwarming thoughts that helped remind us why my wife and I chose to tie the knot. From helping us bring all of our wedding gear up the mountain, to even helping us change when we reached our location, they made every part of our day easy and carefree. If you want a small, personal, and absolutely stunning setting for your wedding that you will never forget, choose Forever Wild. You will NOT be disappointed!

Utano Event & Wedding Planning

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Utica, NY

I was born and raised in Central New York. I am a military wife, that married her high school sweetheart. We are your typical family with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We even have that dreamy white picket fence. I started working weddings and events in Syracuse as a server, and realized that event planning was my dream job. I have worked my way up the ladder and decided that it was time to branch out on my own. My years of experience in wedding and event planning have required me to have a sharp eye for detail, excellent problem-solving skills and work in fast paced environments to make planning fun and events less stressful!

I will preface this by saying that I am not very good at event planning/emails/phone calls and was somewhat dreading wedding planning. I hired Utano Events/Beth for my day of coordinator (and later added on serving staff) at the strong recommendation from my venue. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that my wedding would not have happened without Beth! She caught so many things that I had missed during the planning process. She walked me through rental order estimates, contacted and verified details with all vendors so I didn't have to, made my decor ideas into reality...the list goes on. She has relationships with tons of vendors in the area, and if she didn't work with them before they were sure to let me know how much they enjoyed having her coordinate the wedding. If you are planning a wedding, I would highly recommend hiring Utano Events, and if you are using a more "DIY" venue that doesn't offer many services on site I would VERY highly recommend hiring them!! Worth every penny!

My husband and I decided to hire a videographer with only 7 months to go until the wedding so we were a little bit stressed & feeling like we didn’t have much time to prepare. Rob with 123 Imaging was so friendly and happy to answer any questions each step of the way so that we felt at ease. We hired 123 Imaging for the Ceremony package only and are so glad we did. We absolutely would have regretted not having that footage. Our dog (our ringbearer) had passed away 2 months after the wedding and although not originally in our video wish list, Rob was happy to search for the footage to make sure the moment with our dog was in the video and not a moment was missed. He was also very good with communicating with us and so kind. Shout out to Amber and Christina who set up the cameras and the drone (and Daniel who ended up photographing our event with our photographer Caitlyn from Moments Captured CNY!). We would hire 123 Imaging again in a heartbeat and I recommend them to any bride & groom looking for a videographer to do the same!

The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but the true standout was the quality of the Inn's team and their commitment to making our day perfect.

If we could give it 6 stars, we would. Tucked away- seemingly in the middle of nowhere- you come onto this beautiful, well maintained resort/lodge that sits right next to the pristine salmon river (wonderful photo opportunities everywhere!). Had it not been for my husband being an avid fisherman, I would have never known this place existed. But I’m so glad I do!! The communication and transparency from our point person, Jenn, was exceptionally fantastic from start to finish. She worked with us to make sure that everything was exactly how we wanted it from the big details down to the very small ones. Our day- of coordinator, Liberty, was also amazing as was the entire staff- I would describe the entire team as a well oiled machine and we really did feel like they genuinely cared about our experience being positive. The venue is clean, new, comfortable, and elegant. The food is absolutely delicious as well and is not anywhere near the category of “typical wedding food.” Being able to have our reception there and then having the hotel attached for our guests to stay the night really took the experience to the next level and we still have guests reaching out telling us how fantastic everything was. Excellent value for the price.

Hands down the best professional makeup I’ve ever had! Hannah did my makeup along with my maids of honor, mother and mother of the groom. Not only is she extremely talented and easy to communicate with, but she was such a kind, sweet and professional presence on the day of my wedding. I did my trial on my bday (highly recommend) and didn’t want to change a thing for the wedding! My wedding day was the most beautiful I’ve ever felt thanks to Hannah. Her air brush makeup felt refreshing going on and felt light all day. She used the perfect colors for my cool toned skin and exceeded my expectations! I went for youthful, blushy, doll-like. My girls and moms loved their makeup as well, regardless of whether they asked for natural or glam, everyone looked incredibly radiant. It was so fun seeing everyone hop out of her chair looking like true goddesses! I would hire Hannah for any future makeup in a heartbeat!

I pride myself on being able to work with couples of all backgrounds and cultures. I am outgoing, energetic and have a true passion for documenting your day. Each wedding tells a unique story and it is my job to tell your story. I have been photographing weddings for over 6 years . Prior to that I worked weddings as a 2nd photographer and an assistant to several regional photographers. I felt that by working with several different companies I was able to gather experience from several perspectives. I shoot with the Nikon series of cameras and Lens. During the "off season" you can catch me photographing local High school sporting events.

Working with Cassie was fantastic from start to finish. She was super responsive, helpful, and on top of everything. She was so patient with our rowdy groomsmen and braved the cold with us for our pictures and ceremony. She jumped at the chance to take pictures at all the best moments. It was grey and cloudy all day, but when we saw this sunset open up over the lake, she literally ran outside with us to get these pictures. Our friends and family have made multiple comments about how great she was! We can not recommend her enough!!

Hi I'm Natasha! I specialize in lifestyle and wedding photography with a focus on creating timeless, emotional imagery that tells your story with intention. Based in Syarcuse, NY and its surrounding areas. I'm drawn to in-between parts of a day just as much as the big ones-the quiet looks, the emotion, and everything that makes your story yours. I gently guide when needed, but I also step back so things can unfold naturally. My goal is for photos to feel like memories you can truly feel again.

Working with Natasha McGraw was such a joy from start to finish. She stayed in touch with us throughout the planning process and answered questions right away, which made us feel confident we were in good hands. Natasha had a way of making everything feel relaxed and comfortable, even when we were nervous in front of the camera. Her photos turned out clean and beautiful, capturing the natural moments that matter most without feeling staged. We loved how open she was to our ideas and how she made us feel like partners in the process. We'd recommend Natasha to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about telling your story.
