I think an apt way to describe Amanda and Raker’s Ronan Montana wedding day goes a little something like this: my cheeks literally hurt from smiling after I had finished photographing for them. And I’m betting I wasn’t the only one feeling this way – which is quite decidedly a completely awesome way to feel.<\/p>\n

From the moment the day started to the moment things wound down, there was just so much happiness, joy, and laughter from everyone present.<\/p>\n

Montana, true to form, pulled out all the stops and showed off beautiful blue skies, butterflies!, perfect temps, warm sun, one heckuva sunset, and a moonrise over the mountaintops! I am still a little “gaga” over that moonrise – what a perfect gift for these two!<\/p>\n

Amanda and Raker just glowed as they spoke their vows to one another – there were smiles, there were tears, but most of all there was love.<\/p>\n

Family and friends were treated to a delicious meal that was finished with some excellent toasts and a rousing shoe game that had everyone’s sides splitting from laughter and merriment.<\/p>\n

Kids (and adults, too!) were treated to a candy bar, full of all sorts of sweets and goodies, and soon, with a little sugar under their belts, everyone was hitting the dance floor, and dance they did! I always love photographing folks as they dance, but I’ve got to hand it to you, Amanda and Raker – your friends and family truly outdid themselves! Just SO many fantastic, sweet\u00a0and hilarious moments – I had tears in my eyes I was cracking up so much at some of these funnier vignettes!<\/p>\n

As people continued to get their dance on, the sky turned a pinkish-purple over the mountaintops, and to everyone’s delight, the moon rose – full and bright and absolutely beautiful. A perfect way to punctuate the day for Amanda and Raker.<\/p>\n

You two – what a wonderful, beautiful day! Thank you again for inviting me into such a special moment in your lives! I wish you oodles and oodles of happy years together full of laughter, silliness, pasta, and great adventures! Congratulations again!<\/p>\n
