From the moment Riki and I chatted on the phone about her wedding day, I knew it was going to be beautiful and full of emotion (we may or may not have teared up on the phone together - it was a very sweet moment!). And their wedding day absolutely was - everyone readied themselves inside the church, and Riki and Paul were eager to see each other for the first time. Their first look was exceptionally sweet, and included some very happy tears. Soon family and friends began to arrive, smiling and hugging as they greeted one another.

I couldn't help but document it in a simple video and as a still photo, too. Check out the small slices of the evening below - the first is the final photo; the second is the behind-the-scenes video.

I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream! – {Big Dipper Video and Photo Shoot}
So, I love dairy products. There. I said it. It's out. I love them unabashedly, wholeheartedly, forever. Especially ice cream. And especially when it's ice cream made by Big Dipper in Missoula, Montana. Their rich, creamy, unique flavors are just several of many reasons to love their ice cream. Throw in great community involvement and business-to-business collaboration and you've got a perfect recipe for a wonderful, local ice cream shop. There's a reason people love this place. There have been some great changes and additions to the shop in Missoula (new neon signage as well as the Coneboy ice cream truck) and I was asked to make some ...
