![]() But for many months there, the planning was very uncertain and we just had to hope for the best. ![]() They worked with multiple land agencies in the area to come up with a plan for parking and bathrooms for that many people, and in the end the land agencies were extremely happy with all the positive changes. We were worried that this would ruin our plans and we’d have to completely scrap the wedding, but luckily, some really amazing slackliners in our community stepped in to help facilitate access. We had been planning our wedding for about 4 months already and then got hit with a major surprise: the festival had grown so large in the past few years that the land agencies that controlled the area where the festival is held didn’t want us to do it this year at all. We dealt with some access issues… this is the 10th year of the festival, and the first time it has been a permitted event. 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.
