Autumn weddings are my absolute favorite, and Hannah and Laura’s Missoula Montana Ranch Club Wedding was no exception to this. The sun was shining, the blue sky was filled with beautiful, textural clouds, and these ladies were bursting with happiness and beyond excited to get married (their megawatt smiles *might* have given them away a little). That’s pure perfection in my book.

Before their ceremony they had a super sweet first look – (see above comment about megawatt smiles). We had a great time making some portraits, and then it was time to hide them both away for their big reveal.

Family and friends smiled and teared up as Hannah and Laura walked down the aisle. Their ceremony was framed by a gorgeous mountain backdrop, punctuated with lots of laughter, and topped off with exceptionally heartfelt vows. Everyone cheered as Hannah and Laura sealed their vows with a kiss for the first time as wife and wife.

This happy energy continued throughout their reception as friends and family mingled, laughed and kicked up their heels as the dance music started. Soon the bright sun of the day tapered off into a stunning sunset, and Hannah, Laura and I went running pel-mel to catch the last rays of the day, and oh what beautiful light it was!

We rejoined everyone so Hannah and Laura could toss their bouquets simultaneously (both caught by their sisters!), and the dancing and fun continued inside as the sky turned a deep blue, a little half moon glinting in the night.

Hannah and Laura – what an absolutely beautiful, beyond happy, wonderful day for you two! It was such an honor to document your wedding and your love for one another, and I swear, I’m STILL smiling my face off just thinking about it. I am so happy for you both, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness, which I know you’ll accomplish easily. Cheers to you two!
