Elegant Montana Mountain Wedding

By Magnolia Rouge

So naturally any wedding that has a gorgeous pup in it captures my heart and this beautiful mountain wedding by MONTANA WEDDING PHOTGRAPHERS JEREMIAH AND RACHEL has done that and then some! I mean come on, how cute is their adorable retriever, Argos running beside them in the field � with a total look of joy of his face � and in his tail!

'Meet us in Montana' declared Kristin Bailey and Brendan Bannigan's invitations, and that set the tone for a wedding that had the Treasure State at its very heart. Working with their planner, Cara Finch Lard of GOLDFINCH EVENTS & DESIGN, they managed to bring the feeling of Montana to life in an elegant and timeless way, from the Montana wildflower seeds they gave as favours, to the aisle lined with fly fishing rods (also a nod to the couple's mutual love of fishing) - and of course, the famed Big Sky over their outdoor ceremony and reception. After a love-filled first look that left her groom breathless, Kristin made her official entrance in a Red Jammer (the vintage buses used in Glacier National Park). Waiting at the top of the aisle was Brendan, with their guest of honour at his side - the couple's golden retriever, Argos (made extra handsome for the occasion with a floral collar). After heartfelt, tearful vows, and cocktails (served with map of Montana-decorated napkins, of course!), the reception itself was full of light and laughter, with live music and dancing under the stars, before the couple were sent off in a shower of sparklers and good wishes.

�Kristin and Brendan are two of the most wonderful, genuine people we have ever worked with, a fact made obvious in each and every image. We are so thankful we were able to spend the day with these two wonderful souls, and to be able to now call them friends. We only wish we could photograph it again!� JEREMIAH AND RACHEL, photographers.
