Two words that describe Mike and Emily&#8217;s wedding in Conrad, Montana to a tee.<\/p>\n<p>Emily and Mike ventured to Montana for their wedding day all the way from Tennessee. Emily is originally from South Carolina, but spent many a summer in Conrad at her aunt and uncle&#8217;s farm. More recently, Mike proposed to her there, so it was meant to be to have their wedding celebration at the farm in Conrad.<\/p>\n<p>The day couldn&#8217;t have been more beautiful. Gray clouds streaked the sky, and left more than a few of us wondering if we might have a bit of a wet ceremony, but lo and behold! the sun peeped out just as Mike walked down the aisle to live music played by Emily&#8217;s cousin John.<\/p>\n<p>Guests dined on a delicious dinner made by the Emily and Mike&#8217;s family, and sipped their drinks from charming mason jars as they mingled, played horseshoes, and enjoyed an array of pies for dessert.<\/p>\n<p>Dancing moved into the barn on the property, which was specially decorated with a brand made specifically for Emily and Mike.<\/p>\n<p>The rain held off until folks were inside dancing, and even then, brave kiddos dashed through the raindrops, laughing and playing and getting more than a bit soaking wet.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst little boys begged to be &#8220;roped&#8221; outside, the dancing continued inside, laughter bouncing off the rafters as friends and family showed off their moves.<\/p>\n<p>Emily and Mike &#8211; I&#8217;ve got to say &#8211; your wedding was just SO wonderful, SO beautiful and a complete joy to photograph. Thank you, thank you, thank you for welcoming me into your special day! Congratulations to you both!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kristinepaulsenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Montana-Wedding-Photographer_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
