It started as just a rainy day. But it didn’t end that way. On the drive to Helena MT for Rachel and Brad’s wedding at Kleffner Ranch there wasn’t even a worry as the rain poured down on my windshield and my wipers flying back and forth as fast as possible. I knew that the rain wouldn’t bother these two. They did move the ceremony from the riverside into the barn for their guests, but even if it had rained all day, Rachel still would have wanted it outside. She isn’t one to worry about things she can’t control. And on this day it didn’t matter what happened with the weather. She was going to marry Brad.

And she did just that. And he married her right back 😉  In the barn. Surrounded by a few dozen of their most favorite people, and their adorable golden doodle. Their pup running in and out of photos, jumping on their hands as they prayed during their ceremony, and bringing a smile to everyone she walked up to. I loved it!

I had crossed my fingers all day that the clouds would lift a little or just part so we could get a sunset. But, you don’t always get what you wish for. As it got darker I was on a mission to make some kinda extra fun photo happen. I grabbed some gear and started wandering the property. Walking through this little path of trees to an opening and there it was. The cloud covered stormy sky lit up by the city lights. And we created an image that was the perfect ending to an amazing day! The rain, change in schedules, and locations, the cold, etc. could never stop what was meant to be between these two. And they didn’t let it even upset or distract them on their perfect day.

Congratulations Rachel & Brad! WHEWWW!!! XOXO!
