Fred & Jacey – Fort Benton Winter Wedding – Fort Benton MT Wedding Photography

Posted by Megan Lane on Dec 23, 2012 in Wedding Photography

Fred and Jacey got married on a gorgeous Saturday in December in Fort Benton, MT and what a wonderful day it was! This was a wedding we’ve been looking forward to for quite a while, as it was the THIRD Ritland Family wedding we’ve done in the past 18 months! Yeah, wowsa! We did Michael & Sarah’s wedding last October (Sarah is Jacey’s sister), then we did Brett & Jessalyn’s wedding this summer (Brett is Jacey’s brother) and now it was Fred & Jacey’s turn to celebrate! But we were far from the only ones who were excited for this wedding. Fred & Jacey’s family and friends were so so happy for the couple and were clearly very excited to be celebrating the wedding of these two high school sweethearts.

From working with Fred and Jacey at our previous weddings, and from their super fun engagement session this summer(seriously, if you haven’t seen these pics you MUST check them out – we traveled all over Fred’s family ranch and the scenery and pictures are seriously swoon-worthy!) I knew that we were going to have a BLAST at their wedding. And boy was I right! Talk about the perfect end to our 2012 year of weddings:)

Jacey had her heart set on getting some outdoor winter wedding pictures (we were also super excited for that!). Unfortunately the snow didn’t exactly cooperate (there really wasn’t any on the ground, even though it was cold enough to have ice floating by in the Missouri River – brrrr). But we did get out in the beautiful winter sunshine to take the Bride & Groom pictures and the Wedding Party pictures. And I must point out that the only nod Jacey made to the 20-degree weather was her fabulous faux fur shrug. She didn’t even wear boots! Nope, this bride rocked sexy strappy high heels the whole day!:) And when the bridesmaids joined us outside they didn’t even wear their shrugs but not ONCE did I hear even a whisper of a complaint. They were all there 100% for Fred & Jacey. Very very awesome.

Of course, the rest of the day was just as fabulous – from getting ready in the gorgeous suite at the Grand Union Hotel, to the beautiful ceremony at the United Methodist Church, to the rockin reception at the Fort Benton Agricultural Museum (Dude. Could this crowd ever jitterbug!!!!). It was truly a special day for a very special couple.

Fred & Jacey – thank you for inviting us to share your day. It was such an honor to be with you and your families again on such a special occasion. We wish you guys the very very best!

Erich & Kaela – Fall Fort Benton Wedding – Fort Benton MT Wedding Photographers

Posted by Megan Lane on Nov 5, 2012 in Wedding Photography

Two weekends ago we headed back to Fort Benton for Erich & Kaela’s gorgeous fall wedding. We have been to the Fort Benton & Highwood communities many times for weddings over the past couple of years and we always love going back (it’s so fun to give our past and to-be brides a hug!). This time it was Erich & Kaela’s turn to celebrate—and what a celebration it was! These two were high school sweethearts so their family & friends have had eight and a half years to anticipate this day – how cool is that?!:) It was clear that everyone around them was super happy for this couple and so excited for their big day:)

Erich & Kaela chose our multi-day wedding package so we arrived to cover their rehearsal and rehearsal dinner on Friday and then captured their entire wedding day on Saturday. From getting ready with the girls in Kaela’s childhood bedroom, to taking pictures at the Grand Union Hotel, to the traditional Catholic mass ceremony, to the gorgeous reception at the Agricultural Museum in Fort Benton (the space there had been completely transformed with black pipe and drape, fuschia and purple details, and GOBS of stunning fresh flowers—wow), to all of the Etsy- and Pinterest-inspired details, it was a spectacular wedding from start to finish. We were hosted at the Grand Union Hotel along with many of the guests and the wedding couple (oh how I LOVE the Grand Union!); and we were even invited to brunch on Sunday (thanks you guys – that was SO thoughtful!:).

All in all, the details, food, music, and décor were incredible, but it was the love between Erich & Kaela and the love and support from all of their family and friends that truly made this such a special weekend. We felt very lucky to be there!

Erich & Kaela – we wish you guys the best – thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!
