Scott & Erin – Cathedral and Kleffner Ranch Wedding – Helena, MT Wedding Photography

Posted by Megan Lane in Wedding Photography

Scott and Erin are both from Canada but they chose to have their destination wedding in Montana to take advantage of our wonderful scenery and awesome venues. So it broke my heart when I woke up on their wedding day to one of the coldest, rainiest, icky-ist August days I’ve seen in a very long time. I think the high was 45 degrees, it was raining raining raining, and the clouds were so low in the sky that you couldn’t even see the mountains. Boo!:( Honestly I expected to show up at the hotel to take preparation pictures of the girls and to find Erin [understandably] terribly upset—but instead she greeted me with a big hug and a smile. This was one girl who wasn’t going to let the rain ruin her day!

And what a day it was! From Erin’s exquisite dress (it was breath-taking, seriously breath-taking!), to the matching Tiffany bracelets and necklaces for the bridesmaid gifts, to the many happy tears during the ceremony at the Cathedral, to all of the crazy toasting and dancing that went on in the Kleffner Ranch barn, this was a group that knew how to have FUN!

So, was there rain almost all day?

Yep.

Did it ruin one iota of Scott and Erin’s fabulous wedding?

NOPE!:)

From the first pictures at the hotel to the last pictures at the reception it was a day filled with laughter and love—and we were just glad to be along for the ride!

Scott & Erin – thank you so much for asking us to be a part of your wedding. It was a wonderful wonderful day and we felt so lucky to be able to capture all of these memories for you!

Will & Carly – Cathedral of St. Helena and Civic Center Wedding – Helena MT Wedding Photographer

Posted by Megan Lane in Wedding Photography

Sometimes you meet someone and you are almost instant friends…such was the story with Carly and me. Suffice to say the two of us have shared, ahem, a **few** bottles of wine together over the past year. Which meant that I was doubly excited for her wedding, because as her photographers and as her friend I knew that this was a day Carly has dreamt of since she was a little tiny girl. And I also knew that Will is absolutely head-over-heels for this girl and that he was equally excited to begin their married life together.

As is to be expected when you are working with two people who are as nice as these two (and as in love as these two) I wasn’t the only one who had been anticipating this day. Will and Carly were surrounded by friends and family who were so excited and happy for this union. When I say there was hardly a dry eye in the Cathedral (which was full. Full. As in, there was hardly an empty seat. Do you know how big that church is?!?) I literally mean almost everyone shed at least a little tear. Including Father Marc Lenneman (I think you get bonus points if you can make your priest tear up at your wedding, yes?:).

So from the beginning hours of getting ready at her cousin Carmen’s beautiful house (with tons of yummy food and lots of laughter), to Carly’s dad seeing her for the first time (he cried, Carly cried, her mom cried, I cried. Yep. Me crying. Shocking, I know;), to the pictures and ceremony at the Cathedral (I’ll never get tired of shooting at that church!), to the way the rain stopped and the ugly gray clouds rolled away for our outdoor pictures (as if on cue, ahhhhhmazing!), to the vintage baby blue Chrysler getaway car, to the stunning reception at the Civic Center (the details, ack! the details!). The whole day pretty much went like this: happy people, lots of hugs & laughter, more laughter, more hugs, and many many happy tears. It was a truly beautiful day – in every sense of the word.

Will and Carly, honestly, it was such an honor. We wish you guys blessings and blessings and blessings.

***mwah***

PS Carly – I’ve got a bottle of wine with our name on it just waiting for the perfect evening to enjoy it!;)

PPS To Carly’s Girlies – It was awesome. Seriously. You are officially required to make a date with Carly & me the next time you’re in town, K?

PPPS To the Meg(h)an’s – Not it!

Without further ado, I would like to open voting on the next Scott vs. Megan Contest for 2013!!!!! Woot-to-the-hoo
