Emily and Brendan do things their way, and I love it. They opted for a brunch wedding with an espresso bar and a feast of build-your-own bagels at the Chateau Event Center near Bozeman, Montana.
They read their vows privately together under the gazebo after their first look, which allowed them to really connect in a sweet and intimate way as opposed to saying them in front of a crowd. They wanted their officiant to stand in the aisle, so they were looking toward their loved ones as the ceremony was performed. These two even are choosing to support each other from afar as they advance in their careers before moving to one location and living together, and they gave a gift of luggage tags to their guests in a nod towards their love from distance.
We finished the afternoon with a mountain stroll on their family's property overlooking the Bridgers. It was a gorgeous October day.
This is a strong unique couple, and I am so happy I got to be part of their day. Thank you two for having me!
