Kevin & Kirstin – Cathedral of St. Helena and Kleffner Ranch Wedding – Helena MT Photographers | Megan Lane Photography

It’s heeeeeeerrrrrreee! The 2012 MLP Wedding Season that is:) Yep, we kicked the season off on Saturday with Kevin & Kirstin’s gorgeous Memorial Day wedding – and I cannot think of a better way to start the year! Kevin & Kirstin are an incredible couple (Kirstin and I originally bonded over us both being just a *tiny* bit Type A and we’ve just gotten along swimmingly every since:-) and the weather may not have cooperated (…um, yeeeeaaaahhh, classic understatement of the world…) but that didn’t stop Kevin & Kirstin or any of their friends and family from celebrating their day with lots of joy & laughter (and lots and lots of dancing!).

The ceremony was held in the incredible Cathedral of St. Helena, and since Kirstin grew up attending mass there it made that location even more special. Their rustic chic reception was held out at the Kleffner Ranch and there were so so many handmade details – from the bridesmaids’ clutches to the cupcake platters. Soooo cool! Their family and friends travel to Montana from all over the world to help them celebrate (yeah, from all over the world! Korea took the cake [ah ha, no pun intended] for the farthest traveled, but there was a strong Germany contingency there as well). And let me tell you, these people sure knew how to have a good time! With the band The Mighty Flick playing one 80’s song after another the dance floor was never empty.

As I mentioned, the one tiny wrinkle in the day was the weather – after enjoying soooo much sunshine and super warm weather over the past couple of weeks the forty degree temps and rain seemed especially unfair…. But these two just rolled with it. If I hadn’t already thought that Kevin & Kirstin were awesome & totally grounded, their focus on the truly important aspects of their day [instead of the crummy weather] would have sealed the deal. {PLUS – we were able to do an incredible Rock the Dress session yesterday – and I can’t WAIT to share those images with you guys, eeekkk! – the weather was absolutely dreamy and the pictures are stu.u.ning. Stay tuned next week for that Sneak Peek!}

All in all it was an incredibly beautiful day for a truly awesome couple. Kevin & Kirstin – thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding!
