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 ...
A Love as Bright and Beautiful as the Big Sky :: {Stephanie and Danny’s Flying Horse Ranch Wedding}
Sometimes Montana weather in June can make us all look up at the sky in bewilderment - it was supposed to be a rainy day for Stephanie and Danny's wedding, but lo and behold, it was drop-dead gorgeous and Mother Nature even decided to go all out and match their wedding colors with bright blue skies and lush green grass. As the girls and guys readied themselves for the ceremony, there was a lot of laughter and giggling, which is always a great way to start the day in my book. The ladies laughed as Stephanie steadied herself as her maids laced up her dress, and the guys guffawed at their slick-soled shoes, and may have attempted some Michael ...
Golden Emotion and Happy Hearts – {Joe and Hannah’s Missoula Wedding}
I had the pleasure of photographing Joe and Hannah's winter wedding a bit ago, which took place on their engagement-anniversary in February. It was wintry outside, but warm and inviting inside the Florence building's ballroom - the lights glowed as did everyone's faces as Hannah walked down the aisle, beaming at her groom. The two laughed and smiled as they exchanged vows, and walked back down the aisle as husband and wife to the Star Wars theme - so great! We had fun playing around with portraits and definitely took advantage of the old phone booths on the main level. Soon it was time for some really sweet toasts, the cutting of the ...
An Autumn Love in Majestic Montana – {Lindsay and Paul’s Double Arrow Lodge Wedding}
What is it about autumn that is just so magical? The beautiful colors? The exceptionally golden light as the day winds down? The crisp, cool air? I'm not exactly sure what the answer may be, but I can tell you that Lindsay and Paul's wedding day was magical, too. (Remember their beautiful autumn engagement session?) Laughter and jokes bounced around as Lindsay and Paul got ready with their friends. Soon, it was time to walk down the aisle, and the setting couldn't have been more brilliant. The sun was shining, the mountains were dusted with a fresh layer of snow, and everyone looked amazing in their wedding finery. Lindsay and Paul's two ...
These are a few of their Favorite Things – {Dusty and Tom’s Missoula Rock the Dress Session}
Dusty and Tom are so fab - first, remember their gorgeous Glacier wedding last July? Secondly, when Dusty told me what she wanted to do for her rock the dress session, I was loving how her goal was to incorporate some of their favorite things - golfing, their love of Missoula, their passion for the Griz and, the cherry on top - quintessential Missoula summer awesomeness: floating the river with beers in hand. We started out golfing a few holes and took advantage of some gorgeous Missoula vistas as well. Talk about a perfect day for all of what we had planned! After hitting the course, our next stop was the "M" trail at the university, and ...
Rocking the Dress, Montana-Style :: Lauren and Thad’s Day After Rock the Dress Session at Lake Koocanusa
Reason number 5 million and one why I think Lauren and Thad are the bee's knees: they are avid rock climbers AND they wanted me to document, quite literally, a rock the dress session for them the day after their wedding. When they first told me this, in my head I was all giddy and yelping and saying (in my head, mind you), "Can I get a heck YEAH!?!!!" (Though now that I think about it, maybe that wasn't all in my head.) Because 1. How completely, totally awesome. And 2. I'm a rock climber as well. Albeit a bit rusty after not having had a partner for a couple years, but I GET rock climbing. I get it. I love it. I understand it. I ...
Tying the Knot in Montana – {Lauren and Thad’s Bull Lake Wedding}
Lauren and Thad - I just loved these two from the moment I met them. Not only are they awesome people, but they love to rock climb AND they were planning their wedding in Troy, Montana - just a hop and a skip from Libby, where I was born - one of Montana's little gems, tucked away in the northwestern corner of the state. Did I mention that they also told me they wanted to do a truly unique "rock the dress" session too? (You can see those photos here!) So it's no surprise that their wedding day was just downright awesome. The day was sunny and brilliant, and Bull Lake sparkled in the background. Lauren and her friends readied themselves ...
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 ...
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 ...
