Welcome

From the President As I think back to planning my own Montana wedding almost 6 years ago, I feel excitement for all the new brides and grooms getting married in Northwest Montana. Not that I haven’t always believed that this is the most amazing place to get married, but the growth of wedding professionals in this area now makes it possible to truly have anything that you can imagine for your dream wedding.

I feel fortunate to live and work in an industry that brings so much joy into people's lives.

The scenery here doesn’t hurt either. I know that my business and the other businesses in the My Montana Wedding Association put their heart and soul into making each wedding unique and perfect.

Kelly Kirksey Photography

So dream big, and don’t be afraid to ask for what you imagine for your big day because I am confident that anything is possible with the team of wedding professionals in this area.

Congratulations to all the couples featured in this magazine and the brides who read it.

You can’t go wrong with a Montana wedding.

Elisabeth + Jake SOMERS / 7.15.17

"We knew we were meant to be when we just couldn’t see life without the other one in it. We have fun, we fight, and we know how to make up without considering quitting as an option. We compliment each other's strengths and help each other with our weaknesses. I think a great marriage is built on simply understanding that the other person isn’t perfect, and that’s ok. " -Elisabeth KELLY KIRKSEY Photography

About the Cover Shot Elisabeth and Jake's wedding was on the hottest day of the summer. It was so hot! We could see a summer storm beginning to move in and there were some amazing clouds with it. We knew it wasn't going to last long with the sun beginning to set, so we quickly went out to the field by the reception site. Then the colors came out in the most perfect summer sunset.

Montana loves to show off!

Candace + Clay somers / 12.16.17

"We knew we did not want a traditional wedding, but rather a small celebration with a few friends and some family. No bridal party, no invitations, no cake, and no decorations. We found a beautiful bed and breakfast on Flathead Lake that was kind enough to host us and provide the perfect backdrop for our special day. Our hope is to retire in Montana, so we figured it was the perfect place to officially start our lives together as well. We were married by Clay’s best friend in an intimate ceremony by the fireplace and then had a fun, relaxing evening with loved ones." -Candace marianne wiest photography

"I wouldn't change a thing about our day. I would tell future brides that, yes, hindsight is 20/20, but nothing in life is perfect. It’s the imperfections that make things the most beautiful. Your wedding is for you, and no one else. It’s the energy that makes a wedding memorable. Find the things that are the most important to you, communicate those things, and trust that everyone will try their best to help you have the day of your dreams.

"Since we live in Florida, we were planning the wedding from across the country. Looking back, we wish we had a wedding planner to help source local vendors. We relied heavily on local family members to assist. Even though we planned from afar, every detail of the wedding turned out perfect. The small details were very important to me, and I wanted to maintain a rustic Montana feel with a blend of classic elegance." -Marissa Marianne wiest Photography

Kelsey + Logan whitefish / 7.15.17

"We had a destination wedding at a place that is dear to our hearts. We didn’t just get married on a mountain top for the sake of doing so. Rather, we got married at a place where Logan learned to ski with my family, where we continue to spend our time vacationing, and where we got engaged. We wanted a small, intimate wedding so that we could enjoy socializing and celebrating with all of our guests, and doing so at Whitefish Mountain Resort was the perfect match. Our wedding was simple but elegant. I wanted to capture the beauty of nature and add warm vibrant summer colors that reminded me of a perfect Montana sunset." -Kelsey jennifer mooney Photography

"Our wedding was very casual and easy - very us! We are both from Whitefish, MT, so there were a lot of people we wanted to help celebrate with us. We knew we wanted something that was fun and comfortable. I always imagined having a very traditional wedding, following all of the typical traditions. Turns out, I didn't want a lot of those when the time came! We didn't do a bouquet or garter toss. We didn't have cake to cut. Pizza, ice cream, drinks, and dancing were what we wanted and that's exactly what we did!" -Maggie lindsey jane Photography

"We truly wanted to surround ourselves with only the people who are the closest to us, and we were successful in sticking to that pact! Also, how can you have a wedding in Montana and it be anything but beautiful? The setting at the Lodge on Whitefish Lake was stunning, and our out-of-town guests were delighted with our home state. We added some extra touches that guests are still talking about, including a milk and cookies bar at the end of the evening, and welcome baskets that were waiting in each of the out-of-town guests' rooms. " -Kristen kelly kirksey Photography

Bridget + Mike east glacier / 9.3.17

"We aren’t from Montana, but we both love adventures, and there is no more adventurous place than Glacier. Our wedding was the perfect depiction of our relationship. We got married in the most beautiful place we have ever been, and also where we got engaged. After our backpacking trip the year prior (where we got engaged), we stopped at a little tavern/RV park to take a shower and grab a beer. That was the beer we sought out to serve at our wedding. That same trip we found out about a cafÊ in East Glacier and their renowned huckleberry pie. I was heartbroken to find that they were no longer in business, but Mike reached out and made contact to ensure that our wedding cake could be their pie." -Bridget marianne wiest Photography

The 2017 Montana Fire Season

With more than 1 million acres burned during the late summer months of 2017, couples and wedding vendors were forced to embrace the less-thanperfect circumstances. However, on days in Glacier National Park when the smoke was the thickest, it made for epic sunsets and warm, dreamy light.

There truly was beauty in the ashes.

We knew from our many talks about the future that we wanted a small, intimate wedding. We let our close family and friends know of our plans, and we received everyone’s blessing and well wishes." -Corey jennifer mooney Photography

Libby + Maulin ronan / 7.22.17

"Maulin is of Indian descent and so we wanted very much to have our celebration contain some traditions of the Indian wedding ceremony to honor that heritage. I am a Montana girl through and through and always wanted a country wedding. Luckily, many of the traditions within an Indian ceremony line up with those in Western ceremonies. We also used the day to honor my mom's fight with ovarian cancer by incorporating teal as one of our wedding colors as it is the color that represents ovarian cancer." -Libby Kelly Kirksey Photography

"My grandparents moved to Whitefish when I was 6. My family would take long road trips from Michigan to Montana to visit them, and since then, Montana has been my happy place. Tim visited Montana a year after we started dating, and we had a wonderful time exploring Glacier National Park, huckleberry picking, and sampling Montana micro brews. When we were thinking about a place for our wedding, Montana was a natural choice. We also loved that we would be able to share such a beautiful place with our guests – many of whom had never been to Montana." -Joanna

"In many ways our wedding was very traditional. However, our nearly 325-person guest count played a big role in the planning process. In fact, when telling vendors how many people would attend they always said, 'Wow, that is a big wedding!'

Despite having many people tell us to cut our guest list, we were adamant about celebrating with those closest to us. In the end, the love, joy, and support of all of our guests made it that much more memorable. " -Kelsey carrie ann Photography

My Montana Wedding

ELOPEMENT

W

" e first met at a Virginia Tech football game through a mutual friend. A few weeks after we first met, that same friend wanted to reintroduce us. When he told Dustin that I thought he was cute, Dustin’s response was, 'I’m on my way,' and he drove five hours at 10 p.m. so that he could meet me in person, again. For the next two years, Dustin drove five hours to see me nearly every weekend. After I graduated from Virginia Tech, I had a list of goals – including grad school – that I wanted to accomplish before I got married, and Dustin supported me as I worked toward every single one. He came to awards ceremonies and graduations, he helped me move at least four times, and he reminded me constantly how proud he was of me. We got engaged under the Seven Sisters Oak in Louisiana, and we quickly knew that an outdoor elopement was for us. Traveling and hiking together are two of our favorite things, so it didn't take us long to settle on Glacier National Park.

Our wedding was undoubtedly, perfectly us.

We called our wedding a 'planned elopement.' We told our family and friends about our big day, but we did not invite any guests. Two days before the wedding, we explored the trails near our hotel and found our ceremony spot. Even though it was not our actual wedding day, that moment was magical. We stopped and looked at each other with pure excitement and joy.

We worked hard to incorporate our family into our ceremony.

We get asked all the time if we wish we would have had a traditional ceremony.

Dustin’s dad wrote the opening prayer, my mom handmade my flower crown, and our family members who had passed away were recognized in the details as well – from my sapphire bracelet that had belonged to Dustin’s mom, to the back of my dress that was altered to be fastened by a button that was in my Grandma’s button collection, to my custom bracelet with my grandparent’s handwriting, to the blue truck charms on my socks that I wore with my hiking boots in memory of my Papa.

Our answer: We would not have done a single thing differently. There was something, though, that was completely unplanned that wrapped the whole experience up in a perfect bow. I never envisioned myself eloping. I always imagined that I would be walking down the aisle to Canon in D, one of my favorite songs. The only thing that I missed from our wedding was that song.

After we finished with pictures on our wedding day, we rushed to the hotel restaurant for dinner before they closed. Still in our wedding garb, we sat down to eat. I almost cried when I heard one of the staff members playing Canon in D on the piano for us while we ate. The staff member had no idea, he was just playing around on the piano while the staff was cleaning up the dining room. After that happened, I honestly can say that I did not miss a single thing by eloping. It was all incredibly perfect." -Erika

One night at the condo Randy asked if I wanted to grab dessert for Carson, and we took off on a snowy evening walk. I’m a very fast walker, and when we were just about to the restaurant, Randy said, 'would you just slow down for a second? I am not going to wait any longer.' I turned around and there he was with the ring, and I couldn’t say yes fast enough." -Grace jennifer mooney Photography

Robin + Daniel whitefish / 8.19.17

"Your wedding day goes by so fast. It’s such a cliché, and I heard this so much leading up to our wedding, but it’s so true! The day went by in the blink of an eye, so the best advice I can give to brides is to take it all in and enjoy it! Don’t stress about the little things that go wrong (because there will be things that do), and make sure you have a day-of coordinator to keep everything on track and handle all of the little things that might come up." -Robin Jennifer mooney Photography

Leah + Aaron kalispell / 4.15.17

"Our wedding was a two-day event! We were married in the LDS temple in Cardston. It was a very special experience for us. The next day we had a ceremony and reception at the beautiful Diamond B Weddings & Events in Kalispell. Aaron and I are very laid back, and we wanted to have a wedding that was fun and relaxed for everyone.

We wanted our details to feel rustic and elegant with casual touches." -Leah kelly kirksey photography
