Montana Elopement Wedding Photography-Michelle and Eric

This couple came over from Oregon and wanted to get married at the Missoula County Courthouse. I hadn’t been in the courthouse since the renovation…it looks fantastic! I fell in love with how the light cascaded through the windows and the geometric shapes of the architecture was the perfect backdrop to her princess wedding gown. After the ceremony we drove all over finding one gorgeous location after another. If you want adventure elopements…Montana is the way to go. We finished up at a gorgeous antique barn in the middle of a field before they headed up to Glacier for the night. Congrats guys…your day was truly spectacular!!!

Allison and Luke Wedding

Allison and Luke's wedding was worth the wait...it was held at a gorgeous private residence (bride's Mom's home) down the Bitterroot situated on the banks of the river with mountains framing the skyline.  Allison's dress had every little detail you could possibly imagine!  Luke looked amazing in his suit and decided to take off the baseball cap that appears to be permanently attached every other day!  Their wedding could not have been more perfect!
