Lights....Camera....Action!

Without the Lights.....no camera....no action.  Lighting can play a critical role in achieving the perfect wedding day look.  From nuanced lighting at a table-top level to dramatic room-enhancing mood lighting and effects, the use of lighting as a focal point can take your wedding to the next level.  Whether you looking to achieve a rustic dancehall effect in a rustic barn or create an extravagant ballroom feel, there are a variety of lighting options available to shine a a perfect light on your wedding day.  There are way to many interesting lighting options to fit all types of budgets to just settle on dimming the house lights.  Whether you choose special lighting that offers an interesting small focal point on each table, or decide to bath your guests in lighting effects that create a winter forest feel....its a little something extra sure to wow your friends and family and create the perfect feel for your wedding day.

I've seen rain and I've seen fire.....

Let me start this post by saying we are revisiting some of our past weddings.  We should have the pictures from this past season's events very soon and cannot wait to share them with you!

The last blog was about an unexpected snowstorm, so we are going to swing in the opposite direction and feature this one since it was smack dab in the middle of a major fire season.  The couple are very dear friends from NY, and we wanted this wedding to be something special for them and their guests.  So we decided to embrace the fire theme!  The bride loves pinks and reds and oranges so it was perfect.  We featured custom orange linens, brilliant flame inspired centerpieces, and "Marshmellow on a stick" place-cards.  The only thing we did not have was real fire or any sort.  Since it was so dry, we used led "flame" cubes instead of candles and created a realistic glowing-ember fire in the firepit using the same cubes.  It was great wedding and we were honored to be a part of it.  The thing to take away from these last two posts is Montana is a beautiful and wild place and conditions can change.  The key is to have a plan in place and to embrace the day you get and make it the day you've always wanted.

When Life Hands You Lemons ....or in this case Snow!

It's late October, so this post seems very appropriate.  This Big Sky wedding was originally set to be an outdoor ceremony followed by a spectacular indoor reception.  Well Mother Nature had a different agenda!  The snow started that morning and pretty much just never stopped.  We have done enough weddings in MT to know a 'cover plan' is essential anytime of the year, especially late fall in the high country.  As much as the bride had hoped for an outdoor wedding ceremony, being a Montana native, and former competitive downhill skier, she is no stranger to snow and took the weather in stride.  Instead of letting the change set the tone for the day, the couple along with photographer, Cindy Cieluch, took full advantage of the snow and captured these incredible and memorable images what was a wonderful and beautiful day.   Though we had to make some changes, looking back on these pictures and the memories, maybe the snow was really a good thing!

Why We Love Winter Weddings

We love Montana Winter Weddings!  Though they present a unique set of challenges, the rewards and beauty are well worth the effort.  Horse drawn sleighs, elegant winter themes, ice sculptures, roaring fires and hot toddys are just a few of the elements that make a Montana Winter Wedding magical!
