Jiali walked down the staircase outside McDonald Lake Lodge in Glacier National Park to meet Yingkang waiting for her at the end of the dock. They boarded a small boat with twenty some of their closest friends and fam. Unfortunately a flight was cancelled the night before with half their guests, but they continued on with those who could make it.

They sat at the front of the boat with their bridal party for a short, simple and beautiful ceremony on the lake. I hadn’t seen anything like it. The whole ceremony done in Chinese, I didn’t understand it, but it was beautiful to not know what was happening. To just feel the energy, listen to the bursts of laughter and capture the tears falling down cheeks. I just loved not knowing what was going to happen next.

After the ceremony and cruising around the lake Yingkang and Jiali took all of their guests on a tour of Glacier for the afternoon before dinner. And the following morning I met up with them and some of their friends for a day after session hike to Iceberg Lake. Jiali brought along her red reception dress and it was perfect against the majestic mountain backdrops. It’s such a beautiful place. The icebergs had already started receding but when the sun peaked through the clouds the lake turned bright blue.  I love any chance to get out an adventure with couples, thanks Jiali & Yingkang for bringing me with you!!!
