As seems to be the theme of this year in Montana, it was a little bit of a rainy day for Laura and Melinda’s Holland Lake Lodge wedding. However, Mother Nature played nicely with us and decided to treat us to some sun just as the ceremony was about to start, much to everyone’s excitement!

Despite a few rain showers here and there, it really couldn’t have been a more gorgeous day for Laura and Melinda to celebrate their love for one another. Everyone in attendance sported giant smiles (and a few tears, too) as Laura and Melinda shared their vows, promises, laughter and love with one another, cloud-encircled mountains in the background.

To make it official they decreed it so while waving their wands, and then sealed it all with a kiss as everyone cheered for them while they walked down the aisle, hand-in-hand, with smiles a mile wide.

Folks surrounded them to bestow upon them hugs and well-wishes, and soon it was time to enjoy appetizers, tasty dinner, and some heartfelt toasts. Cake wasn’t far behind, and before long it was time to cut a rug on the dance floor.

We were all treated to an absolutely magnificent sunset on the lake, and to top it off, people enjoyed the warmth of the bonfire and some ultra-tasty s’mores, not to mention guitar music and singing!

Laura and Melinda! Thank you again for inviting me to document your wedding day! I truly love seeing how much you two love one another, as well as all your friends and family, and I adored every single magical second of your day! Thank you again for being such fantastic people (and for the invitation to join you for s’mores, too!). Here’s to a lifetime of happiness for you both, and many Montana visits in the future!
