Intimate Glacier Montana Elopement | Claire + Mitch

April 2, 2020

Claire & Mitch came to Montana to Glacier National Park for their intimate elopement. From Chattanooga, Tennessee, neither of them had ever visited the park before. But their wedding venue had them in awe of all of Montana’s natural beauty. With just the two of them, the officiant, and some help from Field Wedding Studio in Missoula, this elopement was beyond beautiful. It displayed everything an intimate Glacier Elopement should be. They chose to get married in Ryan Meadow on the shore of Lake McDonald in Apgar village. From there, we traveled throughout the park, stopping and enjoying some of the trails and beaches along Lake McDonald, including the stunning Lake McDonald Lodge. This intimate Glacier Montana elopement ended in Whitefish, Montana at a modern A-Frame cabin a few miles outside of town along Whitefish Lake. With a dinner set by Field Wedding Studio, the couple enjoyed an intimate evening capped off by some sweet treats by Posh Chocolate in Missoula. They spent a few additional days exploring the park before heading back home to Chattanooga where they get to begin their newly married life together. Congratulations Claire & Mitch!

Katie + Tom | Minnesota North Shore Wedding Photographer

March 30, 2020

This elopement was one of my favorites to date. Katie & Tom came from beautiful Bozeman, Montana to the Minnesota North Shore for their wedding. As an Iowa & Montana Wedding Photographer, I’d never been to the Minnesota North Shore before. I was astounded by the beauty!

Their elopement day plans changed because of the pouring rain, but these two handled it incredibly. The ceremony moved from the shore to the beautiful lake house they had rented. When it came time for their portraits, they wanted to brave the weather…and it made for some incredible images!

Katie & Tom expressed their love for black & white photography to me and asked that I photograph their wedding almost exclusively that way. Black & white photography is a passion of mine. Getting to see the day in this way made for wedding photography that feels immediately timeless.

Hilary + Anthony | Nashville Wedding Photographers

November 20, 2019

As Des Moines & Nashville Wedding Photographers, it is always an honor to get to capture weddings for other creatives. Hilary is an amazing photographer (check her work here!), so when she and Anthony asked me to photograph their wedding at groom’s childhood home in Lebanon, Tennessee, I was honored! With only 30 guests, the day was intimate and beautiful. The details were thought out and meaningful and the fall weather was ideal. And these two could not have been more in love. Surrounded by their families and an amazing group of friends, this intimate wedding was perfect in every respect. It was my final wedding of 2019, and one of my favorites as a Nashville Wedding Photographer.

Iowa City Photographers Cluney Photo recently traveled to Montana to photograph this Montana Destination Wedding.  Kate & Mark got married at a family property in Helena, Montana.  Their beautiful day reflected them completely. Even when a torrential downpour flooded their reception tent immediately following the ceremony, they took every moment in stride.  At the end of the day, they were repaid with a double rainbow.  This wedding deserved it!  The day was a beautiful reflection of these two from getting ready to the party at the end of the evening. Congratulations to the wonderful Montana couple!

Midwest Destination Wedding Photographer Cluney Photo traveled to Weatherwood Homestead in Montana for this beautiful Montana Destination Wedding.  Featured on Carats & Cake, Katie and Koben’s day was a beautiful mix of rustic elements and class, bringing their New York style to the mountains of Glacier National Park.  Having grown up in Montana near Glacier Park, the groom’s love for Montana was evident in their venue selection.

Weatherwood Homestead is nestled right into the mountains on the edge of one of the most beautiful national parks in our country. The beauty of the day didn’t stop with the scenery though, as the incredible details from some of Montana’s best vendors accentuated the natural beauty of Montana.

One of the favorites of 2019 as a Midwest Destination Wedding Photographer, these two and the friends and family that surrounded this intimate wedding created a beautiful atmosphere for the wedding day.
