I wasn’t quite sure we were going to get much snow this winter since things felt a little dry at the end of January. But then February rolled around and we were finally treated to a downright winter wonderland. Even better was that just days before Joanna and Taylor’s winter wedding at the Jack Saloon in Lolo Montana we had some storms pass through and leave us with even more snow and loads of natural, beautiful backdrops for Joanna and Taylor’s special day.<\/p>\n

Energy and excitement permeated the air as Joanna and Taylor and their family and friends got ready at the Lolo Hot Springs Lodge. Right before seeing Taylor for the first time during their first look, Taylor’s mother helped adorn Joanna’s bouquet with Taylor’s\u00a0Granny Dot’s favorite hanky, to be used as Joanna’s “something blue.”<\/p>\n

Soon, it was time for the two to see each other. Joanna surprised Taylor in the main lodge and he just grinned upon seeing his bride for the first time.<\/p>\n

Before long it was time to zip on over to the Jack Saloon to get the wedding ceremony started. Everyone was all and smiles as things got underway. Joanna and Taylor shared little grins with each other throughout their ceremony, exchanged vows and rings, and sealed it all with a kiss, all to the cheers of family and friends (and a few other folks who happened to be visiting the saloon that evening, too).<\/p>\n

Before it got too dark, we definitely had to make the most of the beautiful snow fields and pine trees nearby, so Joanna and Taylor braved the chilly weather for some fun pictures in their own personal wedding winter wonderland.<\/p>\n

We rejoined everyone for some dinner, and soon after were treated to some nice toasts, a great cake cutting, and lots of live music that had everyone dancing, laughing and kicking up their heels.<\/p>\n

Throughout the evening, I had kept my fingers crossed that we’d be treated to some freshly falling snow, and whaddya know! We got it! So Joanna and Taylor were gung ho and brave enough to venture outside with me into the cold once more, and we had so much fun making images that, as Joanna put it, ended up looking like they were a part of their very own snow globe.<\/p>\n

Joanna and Taylor! Thank you again for inviting me to document such a happy, beautiful day in your lives! I loved meeting you both as well as your family and friends, and I wish you two many years of happiness, laughter, and magical snowflakes every February. :) Congratulations!<\/p>\n
