If you’ve never been to Glacier National Park in Montana….get yourself there! It’s truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. And Dusty and Tom chose to be married right outside of it to celebrate their wedding day in one of their most favorite places.

Glacier lived up to its majesty for their incredibly beautiful wedding – fluffy clouds meandered through the sky, the sun shined brilliantly, making everything glow and sparkle, only rivaled by everyone’s smiling faces as Dusty and Tom vowed to love one another for eternity.

The wedding party also took advantage of what the park has to offer and zipped on over to Lake McDonald in one of the classic red jammer buses, followed by many happy greetings from park visitors.

Little kiddos played on the grassy hillsides of Great Northern Resort, as groomsmen shared celebratory cigars in the sun, and festivities continued into the evening with rollicking good music and lively dancing.

Dusty and Tom – I don’t even know where to start. Thank you SO much for inviting me into such a special moment of your lives! I loved every second of your wedding and I was so honored to document it for you. I wish you many long and happy years together, and lots of visits to Glacier to commemorate such a wonderfully special day. :)

Dancemania is probably an understatement because the ladies at Oula’s first annual dance party at the Stensrud Building in Missoula seriously ROCKED their FEET off. I had such a blast photographing so many happy people shaking their groove thang (huge kudos to Kali Lindner who created Oula!), and I hope you’ll investigate all the awesomeness that is Oula. (I swear, if I hadn’t been photographing, I would have been a “dancemaniac” as well!)

This fab party was put together by the lovely Kelsey Motes-Conners from Glacier Parks Weddings and Events, who did a seriously wonderful job. Accents of fuschia along with pink drinks really popped and added to the lively atmosphere. Not to mention, a variety of great prizes from local vendors – shop local y’all!

And now, on to the photos! There’s more where these came from, so if you’d like to see the rest of the photos, hop on over to the online gallery to peruse at your leisure. Enjoy!

Don’t forget to give a little Facebook love to both Oula and Glacier Parks Weddings and Events! :)
