It’s kind of hard to believe that August is already here after photographing Kim and Randy’s engagement session way back in February – how time flies!

Fast forward to August, the warmth of the summer sun, and long, languid evenings and you’ve got yourself a perfect recipe for an absolutely stunning wedding day. Kim and Randy tailored their day to really showcase their love for Montana, and classy western style. Kim even made her grand entrance to the ceremony by riding side-saddle on her mother-in-law’s horse!

Guests sipped on lemonade as Kim and Randy vowed their love to one another under the big sky. The two ceremonially braided ropes together to signify their intertwined lives.

Children played in the sun, taking turns rolling down the soft hillsides of Rye Creek Lodge, as their parents enjoyed appetizers and cocktails before dinner. Friends and family were summoned to dinner by a dinner bell, and everyone enjoyed the delicious food and stunningly beautiful atmosphere.

Not long after, everyone kicked up their heels and danced into the night, every now and then taking a turn at the microphone, singing into the star-studded evening sky.

Kim and Randy – thank you again for inviting me into such a special moment of your lives together! I had such a wonderful time documenting your wedding and meeting your amazing friends and family. Here’s to many, many years together, punctuated by plenty of dancing and roping! :)
