We all had our eyes on the sky as Michelle and Dave’s Stevensville, Montana wedding at the Stone Tower Estates got underway. Rain clouds zipped through, but then skirted around us as clouds gave way to brilliant sunshine highlighting the beauty of the Bitteroot Mountains, and the loveliness of Michelle and Dave’s day.

Everyone was in high spirits as they readied themselves to walk down the aisle, and smiles were abundant as the wedding party made their way down the aisle strewn with rose petals. Michelle was radiant in her dress as well as her mother’s veil, causing Dave to wipe away a tear or two as he looked at his beautiful bride.

Their friends and family cheered as they kissed for the first time as husband and wife, and as Michelle and Dave walked down the aisle again together, they beamed and continued out into a field beyond the ceremony site to read personal, private vows to one another.

Soon they rejoined their friends and family, and had a great time mingling, munching on a tasty dinner, enjoying their cake, and kicking up their heels as the sun sank behind the mountaintops.

Michelle and Dave – thank you again for inviting me to capture such a special time in your lives! It was such a delight to work with you and all your family and friends, and even more fun to see just how much you two are in love with one another. Here’s to a long, happy life together, filled with joy and laughter!

Talk about a perfect Montana day for Megin and Seth’s wedding! Everyone was treated to a bluebird day, the sun shined brilliantly over the mountaintops in the Bitterroot, and didn’t sink behind them again until late in the long June evening.

Megin readied herself in the upstairs of the main house, taking deep breaths to calm her nerves, and pausing here and there to peek out the window as guests arrived.

Family and friends rested on hay bales as they waited for the grand entrance of the bridal party, and were treated to an adorable petal-scattering by the two flower girls. Megin made the long walk to the aisle on the arm of her father, beaming the entire way. The ceremony was short and sweet as the two spoke their vows beneath an arch fashioned by Megin’s grandfather, and guests cheered for the new couple as they walked down the aisle together as husband and wife.

Decorative mason jars served as vessels for cool lemonade, iced tea, beer and wine, and guests mingled over a tasty dinner as the sun crept across the sky. Personal touches punctuated the entire decor – from fun pictures of Seth and Megin to a vintage trunk for gifts.

A lively cake cutting soon followed, as did dancing among twinkle lights as the sun dipped behind the mountain tops.

Megin and Seth – thank you again for inviting me into your day! What a great time being able to document your wedding for you. Here’s to many, many happy years together celebrating sun, fun and lots of love!
