I’m going to include the story of Mike’s proposal to Ali to give some insight into who these two are and why their day was so great: “Ali and I bought land and lived in a Tipi while we built our house (no running water or electricity, had to use an outhouse etc). \u00a0The house building process took way longer and was far more challenging due to weather, site\u00a0location,\u00a0and\u00a0typical\u00a0construction\u00a0delays.\u00a0\u00a0When we\u00a0finally\u00a0completed\u00a0the\u00a0stressful\u00a0project\u00a0several\u00a0years\u00a0later, we toasted\u00a0the\u00a0accomplishment\u00a0and\u00a0our relationship on\u00a0our\u00a0first\u00a0night\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0house.\u00a0\u00a0During our\u00a0clinking\u00a0of\u00a0glasses,\u00a0I\u00a0got\u00a0down\u00a0on\u00a0my\u00a0knee\u00a0and popped\u00a0the\u00a0question.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paradise Valley is one of the most beautiful places in Montana, but it’s also known for its wind. While watching the slideshow, pay attention to the billowing dresses and sideways hair to see why it’s important to be good at accepting the weather when getting married here. Aside from living extensively in a tipi in Montana, here’s the other reason I knew we were the right fit: “We’d really like to capture some of the candid moments between us and friends\/family. \u00a0The formal shots are less exciting to us than capturing the little moments throughout the day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
