Missoula in the summertime is truly a magical place, and it was no different for Sonia and Derek's Missoula wedding at the Ranch Club - blue skies, a smattering of wispy clouds, and lots of beautiful sunshine to kiss the landscape.

Radiant Amidst the Rolling Hills :: {Raina and Danny’s Missoula Wedding}
It seems like only a few days ago that Raina, Danny and I were admiring Missoula's beautiful autumn colors and traipsing around Missoula having fun making their engagement photos. Fast forward to July, and suddenly it's their wedding day! The sky was blue, the temps were hot, and the grass was green. Though Raina and Danny had their ceremony at the Ranch Club, we also dashed downtown for a bit to hit up some of Missoula's unique buildings, and we may have stopped at a local watering hole to cool off and refresh everyone's drink as well. :) Lots of laughter and lots of smiling were definitely themes throughout the day - and anyone who ...
Love Beneath the Big Sky – {Brianne and Colin’s Missoula Ranch Club Wedding}
Brianne and Colin - these two are just so dang sweet. From the moment I met them, I adored them both. We had a blast during their engagement session waaaay back in the Montana snowy season, so I knew that their wedding would be even more amazing. And it absolutely was. Brianne's vision turned out beautifully. Even though the day started out with a few sprinkles, the clouds parted to reveal a bright blue sky and set the scene for a day full of happiness and love. Brianne beamed as she walked down the aisle towards Colin, her veil kissing her shoulders as she made her way to her groom. Laughter punctuated their vows and smiles shined ...
Montana Love Bugs – {Jenny and Eddie’s Missoula Wedding at the Ranch Club}
Love bugs - that's Jenny and Eddie's term for one another - and it's also completely accurate. These two are so in love. When they look at each other, you can feel their love for one another from the tips of their toes to the tops of their heads. It's deep, and happy, and lively and romantic and oh-so-present and beautiful and soft...all at the same time. Their wedding exemplified all of that. They chose to start off their day by seeing each other for the first time amongst tall trees and a rushing creek - a favorite place of theirs. Rain sprinkled on and off, but that didn't dampen their spirits one iota. After having a great time ...
