I think Hannah and Mason’s might be the happiest wedding that I have ever photographed. I was with the bridesmaids for many hours as they got ready and as I looked back through the photos, everybody had an ear-to-ear smile during almost that entire time. Their mouths must have been sore the next morning. All weddings are happy affairs, but this one just took it to another level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was my first wedding at the aptly named Big Yellow Barn near Bozeman. It is all original, save 3-4 pieces of wood, and it’s just huge and beautiful. The Barn is surrounded by almost nothing but agriculture and, just a little to the east, the Bridger Mountains. It’s a perfectly serene location for a Montana wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the questions I ask couples prior to their wedding is “why are you choosing to get married in Montana?” I felt that Hannah and Mason’s answer was just right for this question (and is pretty similar to many of my couples who are having destination weddings here!): “Mason grew up Montana, and it is an important part of Mason’s past. Hannah had never been until she met Mason. We feel it\u2019s not a place people travel unless they have a reason to, and we wanted to give that reason to our friends and family to show them the beauty Montana has to offer.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
