C and B’s adventure elopement at Glacier National Park was truly a magical experience! Traveling all the way from Tampa, Florida, they chose the stunning backdrop of Lake McDonald for their sunrise ceremony. The day began bright and early, with B’s hair and makeup starting at 3 AM. As dawn approached, we all gathered on the rocky beach of Lake McDonald, surrounded by the serene beauty of the park.

M + A y’all were a blast! A is a fellow photographer in the area and she was more than willing to help me find the best location for their photos.

We embraced the wind, hiked up to the ski lifts and witnessed beautiful views. It truly couldn’t have been more fun! Thank you M + A for being flexible and showing me what Bozeman has to offer. I had a great time exploring and hanging out with y’all!
