Oh, to be married at the very tippy top of a mountain – the blue sky embracing you, the surrounding mountains offering a solid hug, the warm breeze whispering across your face. Panika and Austin had just that experience at their very own mountain top wedding in Corvallis, Montana on her grandfather’s land, and I was lucky enough to be there to document their day!
It was a steep, bumpy drive to the ceremony location, but its remoteness was gorgeous and just perfect for Panika and Austin’s wedding. Panika’s grandfather officiated, the ceremony was short and sweet and lovely, and the party continued on in Missoula at Caras Park.
But now for the photos! Thank you again for having me photograph your day – you are a truly wonderful couple! I wish you the very best and have a great honeymoon!
Ceremony location: Private land in Corvallis, MT
Flowers: by the bride’s aunt
Wedding dress: Rush’s in Minneapolis, MN – alterations by the Dress Doctor in Chicago, IL
Bridesmaid dresses: by Alfred Angelo
Reception venue: Caras Park, Missoula, MT
Cake: K.C. Morrison
DJ: Zootown DJ
On the docket: Elizabeth and Odin’s wedding in Great Falls – we had to deal with a few sprinkles (ok, more than just sprinkles), but there’s nothing like the clear blue sky after some rain. Stay posted!
Cheers!

Love your take on the wedding!! So real and personal!! Shelly and Josh are such great people and I havent’ met her daughter but if she’s anything like her mom..you captured it!
Shelley – Thank you so much! It’s hard not to make nice images when you’ve got such wonderful people to photograph! :)

The pictures are wonderful! I have to say that my very favorite is the one of Josh and Panika walking together, at a place that is so special to both of them, with the mountain peaks behind them:) And the pics of Austin and Panika are all nice; what a cute couple!
