Today I’m featuring our formal family photos (say that 5 times fast). Now, before you click away thinking “BOOOORINNNNG,” I must encourage you to stay. These photos might not be the most exciting part of our wedding day, and some of them certainly are more posed than our other pictures, but they are a very, [...]

In one of my recent posts, I mentioned that we were taking photos with our wedding party during cocktail hour. Well, we did, but not before we took some formal portraits together. Nicole took a TON of photos that I absolutely love, and I can’t wait to share them with you. Of course it’s hard [...]

A wider layout for 600 pixel images, and a new header and front page. I’ll be updating the rest of the content to reflect our married status soon.
Apologies if the images don’t display properly in some of the posts below. I’m trying to display Blogger/Picasa images at 600px wide and they keep showing up and [...]

While we snuck off for some portraits, things were just getting started at the Otter Woman Trading Post, where we’d set up for cocktail hour. There were jugs of water and Arnold Palmer (half iced tea/half lemonade) set alongside our homemade blackberry vodka, lime gin, and limoncello infusions. And, of course, there were plenty of [...]

After our ceremony, even the mountains came out to say hello! The clouds that had been hanging low over some of the highest peaks lifted, revealing a brand new dusting of snow. Despite the increasing chance of rain and fast-moving weather, it had been a beautiful afternoon.
We waited quietly on the far side of a [...]

Standing in a field with the mountains at our backs, we took a moment to look at each of our guests. Slowly and clearly, with the volume and dictation one could only hope to find in a seasoned professional, Cathy began to read the ceremony we had written.
We thought it important to explain to our [...]

We chose our simple, unassuming ceremony site in Polebridge partly for its convenience, accessibility, and proximity to our reception, but there was also something utterly breathtaking about being married in center of a small town in the shadow of such stately peaks. Although part of me wishes we’d chosen to be married on the shores [...]

September, in the remote, Northwest reaches of Montana, our wedding was about to start.
While I waited in the wings for the processional to play, dramatic clouds boiled and broke overhead, throwing the mountains into sun and shadows, sprinkling us with the lightest of showers…

When we arrived in Polebridge, there was still over an hour until the ceremony. I had expected to have maybe half an hour to prepare… a time that I could easily fill with setup and organization. But given all the time we now had, I didn’t know what to do with myself except make sure [...]

( My bridesmaids and I on our personal “limousine” )
When planning our wedding, we decided to use school buses as wedding shuttles for several reasons. First, our venue (Polebridge) was about 20 miles from the Lake McDonald Lodge in Glacier National Park, and a number of our out-of-town guests weren’t renting cars. Second, about 12 [...]
