Intimate Wedding at a Private Estate on the Mountainside of the Bitterroot Valley

August 25, 2023

I had the privilege of capturing Natalie and Brady's engagement photos last spring. Let's just say, they are both very photogenic. I still ooh and ahh at their photos to this day. Not only that, but they also have a humble and sweet demeanor. They provide laughter in every instance, it is truly never a doll moment with these love birds. They are from Oregon, but made their way over to the beautiful state of Montana to now call it home. I’m biased, but I think they made the best decision.

Just like the entire day, the morning started off peaceful and calm. The bride and groom got ready separately with their wedding party. The couple was lucky enough to have weather on their side as well. As everyone was still inside getting ready, there was about an hour of rain to blow the smoke away and cool everything off. It ended just in time to finish decorating and to enjoy the rest of the wedding day outside. So fortunate!!

The couple decided to wait to see each other until down the aisle. As Natalie walked down the aisle, I truly did not have enough time to capture all the tears from EVERYONE. It was so touching to see how moved and captivated everyone was. After the ceremony, the couple hosted a cocktail hour and reception. The food was amazing, the views were incredible and the dancing was unmatched. The night ended with an unreal sunset of cotton candy skies. The perfect ending to the best day!

Congratulations Natalie and Brady! I wish you happiness and many years of laughter in the years to come!
