I knew that my friends Jennie and Mike had been thinking about a winter Missoula Courthouse wedding, but hadn't yet determined when they were going to say their "I do's." Suffice it to say, I was so tickled when Jennie asked if I'd consider accompanying them and taking a few photos of their nuptials. Count me IN! We all headed down to the courthouse together, which happened to be a gorgeous, bluebird winter day, and had a good time hanging out, cracking jokes, sharing a few courthouse candy machine M&Ms (which we had thought were going to be Skittles), talking about dogs, skiing, and the massive amount of snow Missoula had just gotten. ...
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 ...
Becka + Stephan :: Snowy Wedding at the Barn on Mullan
It's a huge understatement to say just how excited I was to hear that Becka and Stephan had gotten engaged, and even happier (and super flattered!) when they asked me to photograph their snowy wedding at the Barn on Mullan. Earlier this spring I had the pleasure of getting to make family photos for them and we just had an absolute blast, so I knew getting to photograph their wedding would be a total delight. And, no surprise, it was! We were treated to a fresh dusting of snow, and had a few snowflakes softly floating down throughout their entire wedding day - talk about dreamy! Becka and Stephan both began their day getting ready with ...
Sweet Snowflakes :: Alyssa + Adam’s Missoula Montana Winter Wedding
What is it about softly falling snowflakes that just immediately creates magic? I'm not quite sure, but whatever it is, Alyssa and Adam certainly experienced that magic for their Missoula Montana winter wedding. We weren't even certain we'd see snow for their wedding day what with the way Missoula's winter has been behaving. But I think everyone's snow-filled thoughts must've influenced Mother Nature a bit, because we woke up to a dusting on the morning of their wedding day, and then experienced a whirl of flurries later in the afternoon - the perfect wedding day gift to these two who truly love the snow! (Even Alyssa's wedding dress was ...
Married Amongst the Mountains – {Beth and Andy’s Winter Wedding in Glacier, Montana}
Winter in Glacier is....simply breathtakingly, jaw-droppingly, make-you-weak-in-the-knees GORGEOUS. Beth and Andy's Christmas-time winter wedding in Glacier at the Belton Chalet was no exception. From the fresh snowfall that morning to the rustic charm of the chalet, to the mountains enveloped in fog.....their day. was. INCREDIBLE. In every way. We all had such a blast visiting Lake McDonald, and even though it was pretty dang chilly, that didn't hinder Beth and Andy and their wedding party from being troopers and making some really fun photos. Beth's reaction to the scenery at the lake when we initially arrived was pretty priceless - I'm ...
