Bethany and Frank's wedding at their home in Bozeman Montana
Bethany and Frank chose to have a very intimate celebration for their wedding. As you saw in the photos from their rehearsal dinner family is very important to both of them. They celebrated their wedding focus sing primarily on family and then close friends. The wedding was performed by Bethany's minister from Lewistown and was held in their home with about fifteen family members surrounding them.
After some toasts and chocolate, Bethany has a sweet tooth that rivals mine, everyone casually made their way to the Montana Ale Works in town. http://www.montanaaleworks.com/ There another family style meal was served with just the family members. Shortly afterwards they cut their cake in the private dining area and then joined friends for a reception. I have to say there were almost more children at the reception than there were adults! Bethany had some great toys to keep the kids entertained and everyone enjoyed some food, some pool and great cake and more chocolates! I once photographed a wedding in Gardiner, Montana and they held the reception at the elementary school where he was a teacher. That was the only other wedding that I have worked on that had more children than adults. It was fun!
Bethany and Frank are traditional in their tastes and I shot specifically with their preferences in mind. I am posting some photos that I think they will love. It really was lovely working with them and their family and I look forward to seeing them some more in the future.
I have to say I am not much of a brand buyer, but the color of Tiffany's packaging makes me want to buy something from them. I can't explain it, I just love their color!
Bethany's sister Melody with her beautiful little Sophia. Sophia is loved a lot! I was witness to some of her cousins meeting her for the first time and it was lovely to see the joy and excitement!
Bethany looked lovely, both in her wedding dress and then her black cocktail dress.Suzanne , from Soucie salon did pin curls that were out of this world! Diedre from Indulgence did a wonderful job on her make-up. I love working with Dierdre and her staff because they always make my clients look beautiful! (And they are fun, and genuinely nice people to be around!)
Their attendants were Bethany's two daughters and their dog. So sweet!
The elusive kitty was dressed up for the wedding too.
Bethany wanted one photo with the two of them and Rio.
Of course I had to bring them outside to get the beautiful effects of natural light! I took this right after I asked them to kiss and it always amazes me how people light up after they kiss the person they love.
And in the same location of their engagement photo. Isn't she stunning in the dress?
The dining room at the Montana Ale works, in downtown Bozeman. A perfect reception spot for a winter Montana wedding.
Bethany enjoying the conversation with her sister.
In sepia just for fun. I love the classic look of the tonality of the photo with her hair.
Voila, there will be more to come on the web site in about two weeks. Oh, I did a time lapse video of the ceremony but have to be in the office to upload it. It is FUN to watch! Sing up for the auto feed or email so you can see it when I post it. It is easy and takes less than a minute!
Enjoy your SUNDAY, I am off for some more coffee with froth on top!
