20 Years of Love: A Snowy Vow Renewal in Glacier National Park

Last December 23, Jennifer and Karl Yurko celebrated 20 years of marriage with a vow renewal in Glacier National Park. These two have been through it all, and what better way to mark the milestone than in the middle of a snowstorm? As we revisit this special day one year later, their story feels just as fresh and inspiring.

Ryan Meadow: Snow, Smiles, and Vows

We started at Ryan Meadow, and let me tell you—it was absolutely dumping snow. Huge, fluffy flakes fell nonstop, piling up around us and covering everything in sight. Jennifer and Karl didn’t let the weather slow them down for a second. They were soaked by the end of it, but their smiles never wavered. In fact, it only made the day more memorable.

Their secret to 20 years together? A 6-second kiss every single day. And on this day? Let’s just say they went above and beyond.

Jennifer and Karl didn’t just celebrate their own love story in 2023—they passed their adventurous spirit on to the next generation. On February 14, 2023  Karla (their daughter) and Justin tied the knot in an epic elopement at the summit of Whitefish Mountain Resort. Because let’s be real—a family that adventures together stays together. Want to see those incredible ski hill wedding photos? Click

After the ceremony, we headed to Belton Bridge for some photos. It’s one of those iconic Glacier spots that’s even more magical in the snow. The storm didn’t let up, but neither did Jennifer and Karl. They laughed, they kissed, and they just enjoyed the moment. The photos are proof that sometimes, the wildest weather creates the best memories.

Winter Photoshoots in Glacier National Park

If you’re thinking about renewing your vows or eloping in Glacier, winter might just be the perfect time. Sure, there’s snow—sometimes a lot of it—but that just makes it more fun. The snow adds a layer of adventure and creates photos that are anything but ordinary.

Jennifer and Karl’s day is proof that Glacier National Park is an amazing spot to celebrate love. Whether it’s Ryan Meadow, Belton Bridge, or any of the park’s stunning locations, you’re guaranteed memories that last a lifetime—and photos that will make you smile every time you see them.

Jennifer and Karl, thanks for letting me be part of your story. And if you’re ever looking for an amazing vet clinic, these two run one that’s as incredible as they are. Cheers to 20 years of love, laughter, and keeping it real—here’s to many more!
