My Montana Destination Wedding

Instead of the Bride and Groom having a destination wedding, it is one for me. I get to go to Missoula in September to photograph Tara and Ryan's wedding. I love Missoula. It is a funky little college town that is close to Glacier and Whitefish. In addition to shooting their wedding I will be in town to shoot the annual 'group' of family portraits for several clients who i have had the priveledge of working with over the last several years.

Tara and Ryan are planning a wedding in the park in Missoula. She is a friend of a friend and I am looking forward to photographing the small intimate wedding and the larger reception that will follow at the park. Park weddings always interst me because in some way they are more tradtional in my mind. By being in a public space they are more of a community celebration than ones held at a private venue. In the past I have photographed weddings at Yellowstone National Park, Beall Park in Bozeman and a couple of others that were really beautiful.

I just received the invitation that they designed and LOVE it for several reasons. It is simple. It is clean. The font is perfect for the design. (If you are designing your own invites there are a lot of free fonts out there if you search free fonts on google. You can also buy some nice ones for a nominal fee.) It is so darn cute! I love the little heart of the tree with their initials.
I can't wait to photograph my Missoula, Montana Bride. I have met her once and she is beautiful and can't wait to see her in a wedding dress. Perhaps she will share some of her planning details with us. I just sent the two of them an email and hope that they will share some of their plans with us.
