Rilee and Nick had to postpone their their original, large wedding due to the pandemic, so instead they downsized in 2020 and embraced their intimate rainy Missoula wedding - mega party to be had in 2021! And what a gorgeous, magical day it was for them, even in spite of the rain! They had an emotional set of first looks - with each other, and then with Rilee and her dad. The rain quickly began to move in, so a few of us hung out under a gigantic tree that was perfectly placed right near their ceremony site as their guests began to stroll through a field of spring wildflowers. Soon it was time to get things started, and Rilee made ...
Alexis + Joe :: Bowman Lake Elopement in Glacier National Park
It was one heckuva gorgeous Montana day for Alexis and Joe's Bowman Lake elopement in Glacier National Park. We had a bluebird sky above, pristine reflections on the lake in front of us, and oh so much sun! Suffice it to say, Montana really pulled out all the stops for Alexis and Joe's special day! These two originally met in Denver at a bluegrass show and moved to Missoula a little over two years ago. Because they love their time in the outdoors (camping and hiking especially), Joe proposed to Alexis in Glacier. So it was particularly fitting that they tied the knot there, too! We started out the day by meeting up at their Air BnB just ...
Kelsey + Sam :: Moon Randolph Homestead Wedding
We were all watching the weather forecast and the skies leading up to Kelsey and Sam's Moon Randolph Homestead wedding because a winter storm was brewing (in September of all things!), and no one quite knew what Mother Nature would surprise us with. Thankfully we managed to avoid the snow until later in the evening, but Kelsey and Sam's wedding has got to go down in history as one of the coldest weddings I've ever photographed in September! (If I recall correctly, I think the windchill had the temps feeling like the teens to low 20's! Brrr!) Despite the chill, Kelsey and Sam absolutely made the most of their day (and the lack of snow!), ...
Laura + Melinda :: Holland Lake Lodge Wedding
As seems to be the theme of this year in Montana, it was a little bit of a rainy day for Laura and Melinda's Holland Lake Lodge wedding. However, Mother Nature played nicely with us and decided to treat us to some sun just as the ceremony was about to start, much to everyone's excitement! Despite a few rain showers here and there, it really couldn't have been a more gorgeous day for Laura and Melinda to celebrate their love for one another. Everyone in attendance sported giant smiles (and a few tears, too) as Laura and Melinda shared their vows, promises, laughter and love with one another, cloud-encircled mountains in the ...
Kelsey + John :: Summertime Glacier National Park Elopement
Every time I go to Glacier it's always a little bit different, which is something that I just adore about zipping on up there. Kelsey and John live in Pennsylvania but worked in Glacier for 6 months in 2017 and had many fond memories of their time in the area. So they knew the perfect way to start their married life together would be to have a summertime Glacier National Park elopement. And perfection it was! John's sister, Mary, joined them as well as Kyle, John's longtime best friend, who was also their officiant. We had such a wonderful time checking out the park together, all of us piled into their rented Subaru, and started out at ...
Kelly + Dustin :: East Glacier Elopement in Glacier National Park
Fittingly, as I write this post, it's pouring rain and storming in Missoula. Montana has had a very wet summer, which Kelly, Dustin and I also experienced firsthand during their East Glacier elopement at Lake Josephine. (Though I can't say I'm complaining - this means we've also had little-to-no wildfires and their subsequent smoke to deal with, so I'm all for some soggy weather that's devoid of lightning strikes.) As soon as we met up at the trailhead the rain began, but they weren't going to let a few (or many) raindrops deter them. So we started out on our hike armed with rain jackets, umbrellas, bear spray and lots of smiles. Soon ...
Melisa + Zack :: Dutton Montana Farm Wedding
I was so excited to see Melisa and Zack again for their Dutton Montana farm wedding since we'd had such a great time making their engagement photos there just about a year prior. Melisa was beaming as she got ready for the day, and Zack was eager to see his bride for their first look. As they both caught a glimpse of each other for the first time, their happiness and grins were so sweet to witness. Not to be outdone, Gyspy (one of their dogs) decided to join in on the fun, too! It wasn't long before it was time for the ceremony to start. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, puffy clouds breaking up the uninterrupted blue, birds flitted ...
Carrie + Dugan :: Fort Missoula Vow Celebration
Carrie and Dugan got married on a whim about two years ago at the courthouse, but they have always wanted to celebrate their vows and marriage with their closest friends and family, so their Fort Missoula vow celebration was a perfect way to bring everyone together to share in the joy and happiness of their marriage, and exchange their vows in front of their loved ones in a meaningful way. And their day couldn't have been more beautiful or more perfectly them! It was warm and sunny and everyone got to enjoy the surrounding mountains as a backdrop to Carrie and Dugan's vows. Before they exchanged their rings, the rings were passed around to ...
Joanna + Taylor :: Winter Wedding at the Jack Saloon in Lolo Montana
I wasn't quite sure we were going to get much snow this winter since things felt a little dry at the end of January. But then February rolled around and we were finally treated to a downright winter wonderland. Even better was that just days before Joanna and Taylor's winter wedding at the Jack Saloon in Lolo Montana we had some storms pass through and leave us with even more snow and loads of natural, beautiful backdrops for Joanna and Taylor's special day. Energy and excitement permeated the air as Joanna and Taylor and their family and friends got ready at the Lolo Hot Springs Lodge. Right before seeing Taylor for the first time during ...
Anna + Jeff :: Missoula Florence Hotel Winter Wedding
Winter weddings definitely make my heart skip a beat. They're just filled with romance, beauty, the twinkling lights and glamor of the season, as well as its warmth, coziness and overall joy. And Anna and Jeff's Missoula Florence Hotel winter wedding certainly embodied all of these things and then some! Their day started out with Anna finalizing her finishing touches in the Wilma condo she had rented. Her mother helped lace her into her beautiful tea-length dress as her family watched with anticipation. Soon it was time to walk over to the Florence Hotel where their ceremony space awaited them, adorned with greenery, white roses, and ...
