I met this sweet couple over a year ago. Renee reached out thanks to a recommendation from an old bestie and we clicked right away! She is one of the sweetest and most genuine people I have ever met. I got to meet Josh and Kai at the engagement session. I think Kai was nervous to have his photos taken but by the time the wedding came around, he was a total pro! I went out to beautiful place and snapped some pretty woodsy photos before taking some glowy photos at Swan Lake. I gushed over her plans and couldn’t wait for their big day. The summer flew by and before I knew it, it was wedding time! They got ready at the Great Northern Resort. This was my first time visiting this quaint little spot just outside of West Glacier and it was definitely one that I will not only remember, but also recommend!
The ceremony was located just a few minutes down the road at Glacier View Weddings but before we made our way to the official “i do’s” we snuck some time in at Apgar and did some photos at Lake McDonald. It was a bright and beautiful fall day and the joy surrounding these two was as radiant as the sun itself. They had such a supportive wedding party and I had a blast with them the entire day!
The ceremony was full of sentimental touches and beautifully written vows. It was an amazing glimpse into who these two are with Kai and their family dynamic. I feel like I know my couples prior to their day, but I learn SO much more about them the day of. Seeing this family become “official” was an amazing thing to witness.
Renee started the reception off with a hilarious tribute to all of HER hard work. (you will have to catch Mackenzie’s awesome video for that one) The whole room erupted in cheer because she really did such an amazing job putting together this perfect day. The House of S&M served up an incredible taco bar while the guests enjoyed their signature cocktails and snoop dog champagne. Heartfelt speeches were what followed and I have to say, I cried the day of and I cry every time I look at those photos! It was such a special moment when Kai took the mic.
They danced and they mingled and they loved the whole night through. I left early on in the evening but I am sure I missed a great party!
You guys are such a great couple and I am so lucky to have met you and to have captured such an important day for you! Enjoy your sneak peek and the rest of your dreamy images are on the way!
