Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life. 

hey hey

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

I first met Candice and Patrick back in November and truthfully, secretly, I’ve been counting down the days to their wedding since! This wedding was so unique from any other wedding I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of.  I couldn’t love it anymore than I did!  Candice and Patrick are SO perfect together, it’s undeniable.  I woke up on Saturday STOKED because their day was FINALLY here.  I came home Saturday night and wanted to cry cause there day was over.  So, Candice and Patrick if you could do this at least every other year, at the least.  That would pretty much make my life 😉

I showed up for a little bit at a salon, Boom Swagger, just down the street from my house to photograph Candice getting her hair done.  I walked in and saw this below and was immediately in love.  Anyone who starts their wedding day off with this hair and is loving it is seriously  my new best friend.  Her hair was fantastic, unlike any other brides hair 🙂

After breakfast I met them at the hotel for Candice to slip into her one of kind, gorgeous dress that she purchased off from upoppy’s etsy store.  Ya, you read that right, her wedding dress came from etsy.  And it was KILLER!

They were married in this gorgeous church, St Francis Xavier, in downtown Missoula.  I had never been in this church before and it was simply amazing 🙂  Even more amazing with this gorgeous lady walking down the aisle.

There is no better younger brother/best man, than one that will whisper a joke in your ear to keep you from crying.  Or was it to keep the best man from crying? 😉

And dancing back down the aisle together to Justin Bieber…. in a Catholic church.  Could I really love you anymore?!

They had their reception at the Stensrud Event Center, which is this awesome renovated historic building on the north side and it couldn’t have fit them and their wedding any better.  They spent months making these 1000 paper cranes!  Then they turned them into a chandelier type of thing and it was AMAZING!!!

And honestly, I think their first dance was the best I’ve ever seen.  These two enjoy having a great time together and they most certainly had the best time dancing together!  And this was only their first dance.  Imagine how the rest of the night went 🙂

I really could not love them anymore than I do!

I get to see lots and lots of gorgeous rings but rarely do I see one that makes my heart skip a beat.  Except Candice’s.  I’m determined that an upgrade must be in order and it must come in rose gold, because these rings are STUNNING!

Candice & Patrick, we love you dearly.  I didn’t expect anything less from your big day.  Enjoy the heck out of Alaska 😉
