Both were full of smiles and happiness from the very start of the day. We had a great time making some portraits of the two of them at the oval at the University of Montana campus, to incorporate the &#8220;M&#8221; into their photos, since it has special meaning to them both &#8211; Jeremy proposed to Megan at the top of the &#8220;M,&#8221; complete with surprise violinist to serenade Megan!<\/p>\n<p>Their ceremony at St. Francis Xavier church was gorgeous, sweet and punctuated with personal touches. Festivities moved over to the Missoula Country Club, where guests were treated to a vision of thousands of paper cranes (all made by the couple and their friends), as well as a tasty dinner, cake and dancing.<\/p>\n<p>Megan and Jeremy &#8211; thank you again for inviting me to document your wedding day! I had such a wonderful time making these images for you, and wish you all the best for many, many years to come! :)<\/p>\n<p><a
