mr. & mrs. Collier

My oh my, where to even begin with this amazing and wonderful couple...

Ariana and I talked quite a few times over phone calls during the planning phase and each and every time we talked I got more and more excited to shoot her wedding. Noah and her are very down to earth people and they made their wedding day so intentional that it made this photographer tear up a few times. Their wedding was a destination wedding, intimate with only their closest family in attendance, and it was centered on being outdoors because that's what was important to their relationship. They were both huge outdoorsy people so they chose to pledge their lives to each other in the beautiful mountains of Bozeman, Montana.

They really had two Airbnbs that they held their wedding at. One was for the girls getting ready and the bride's family. They had a stunning balcony with a view of the mountains. We got such beautiful pictures of the hours leading up to their ceremony.

Their second Airbnb was for the groom's family, guys getting ready space, and the reception. This Airbnb had a stunning little pond in the backyard, a 360 mountain view, and wasn't far from the ceremony location. 

The ceremony was held about 20 minutes away from the second Airbnb. The road leading up to it was a mixture of private land and public land, completed only by the presence of a herd of cows. They had a cross and a rug and one of the groomsmen's guitar. It was such a meaningful ceremony. Afterward, the family headed to the reception while Ariana and Noah hung back to say some private vows to each other (cue the tears). 

Their day was completed with a stunning sunset and a little cake. Truly, the best kind of day, filled with the most perfect details. 

I hope you enjoy a little glimpse into Mr. and Mrs. Collier's wedding day <3
