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.

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.

These sweet babes first met in a bar in Minnesota. Talking all night Emily told Ryan she was leaving the next day for a wedding in Montana. Ryan asked her where in Montana to which she told him it was at this lodge in the tiniest town in Montana, he’d never know it. He laughed and said try me. Funny enough the wedding was the lodge his mom worked at in that tiny little Montana town he grew up in!

Fast forward. Emily & Ryan planned their own beautiful wedding at that very lodge on Holland Lake in Montana surrounded by their family and closest friends. How freaking perfect. Everything classic and timeless. Her perfectly fit lace dress and his custom made suit that he designed down to the very stitching. Meeting each other down the trail and walking through the trees hand in hand. Her dad walked her down the aisle with the dog in his other hand. They had perfect sweet vows on the lawn by the lake. Greenery and shades of pink and white flowers everywhere. Their glasses were always full, their laughter echoed through the valley, the moon rose above the mountains early and they danced the night away. Sounds like a dream, but it was so real life.

The most amazing escape to this gem in the mountains with all of their favorite people along, staying in cabins and partying night after night. There is no better way to start the next chapter of their lives together.

Em + Ryan thank you thank you thank you for having us there! You’re amazing and we are so stoked to have been a part of your special day!!!
