Despite the weather forecast warning of rain, Mother Nature must've known she needed to match Autumn's and Kevin's bright, happy personalities and decided to wow everyone with a beautiful, sunny day in an absolutely picturesque setting at Autumn's grandparents' house in Great Falls. Everyone readied themselves amidst a chorus of laughter (and maybe a few happy tears too), and soon the two were ready to see each other for the first time. Kevin was filled with emotion - happy, happy tears! - as he saw his bride-to-be walking towards him. Guests filtered in, hugging and greeting one another, and soon the ceremony started as the wedding ...
Kisses in the Swaying Grasses – {Megan and Jason’s Great Falls Wedding}
A warm breeze blew and played with Megan's veil as she saw her groom, Jason, for the first time. They kissed, there were a few teary eyes, and they smiled and hugged as they prepared to walk down the aisle and pledge their love to one another. Friends and family packed the chairs, fanning themselves with programs, and smiled as the wedding party made their way to the altar, and as adorable flower girls and Megan and Jason's dog, Emmi, soon joined them. Megan and her father linked hands, and I'm not sure there was a dry eye there as he gave her away. Tears soon gave way to lots of laughter throughout Megan and Jason's sweet ...
December Love – {Amanda and Neil’s Great Falls Wedding}
It was such a beautiful December day for Amanda and Neil's wedding - it was so warm it almost felt like spring, and the sun was shining! Amanda and Neil were so excited and happy to see one another on their big day, and we all traipsed over to Giant Springs State Park to make some images, which was such a great idea. Despite it being a bit windy, it couldn't have been a more perfect place to capture some great moments. Amanda and Neil pledged their love to on another in front of a large group of family and friends in the beautiful, open setting of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Great Falls, emotion on their faces as they said their ...
Lovely in Lilac – {Millie and JD’s Great Falls Wedding}
Millie and JD's wedding in Great Falls was full of personal touches that made their day extremely special and even more meaningful. Millie's dress was made by her mother, using the skirt from Millie's grandmother's own wedding dress. (Millie's mother used the skirt for her wedding, too!) The groomsmen added a bit of playfulness to what would have been traditional pocket squares, instead opting for fun "fair ribbons" saying: first place, second place, third place and participant. Hilarious! The amazing cupcake sculpture (it can only be called a sculpture because it was truly a work of art) was created by Millie's father, and the cupcakes were ...
Raindrops + Horses :: {Elizabeth and Odin’s Boulder Ridge Great Falls Wedding}
I've always got to hand it to a bride who doesn't break down at the site of raindrops. I've got to credit her even more when she LAUGHS in the face of pouring rain as she goes after the photos she really, really wants. Yes - Elizabeth and Odin totally rock. Period. The day at Boulder Ridge in Great Falls started off sunny, but as the ceremony drew nigh, vows were said, rings were exchanged and alas - the thunder boomed and lightning crackled! Elizabeth really wanted some photos up on a ledge by the waterfall, and I assured her that if she was game, I was too - since, as sweet as I may be ( ;) ), I don't melt. We dashed up the hill as fast ...
