Brandon & Melissa - Spring Elopement - Glacier National Park

When Brandon and Melissa first reached out to me, they mentioned that they were both from Alabama and coming to Montana to elope and excited to find snow! I assured them, that this would not be too difficult in March in Montana. We hashed out locations and road conditions that time of year, and found this ethereal, frozen wonderland. I had done an ice skating session here before and thought it would make for an amazing spot to promise each other the rest of your life! I will confess the road was a little muddy, but we made it and it was so worth it. Afterward, we wandered into Glacier to explore and had the whole place to ourselves. I loved exchanging stories with Brandon and Melissa throughout the day. I wish you two all of the happiness! Big shout out to Polebridge Mercantile for letting us in for these woodsy photos!

Joe & Aparna - Elopement - Grinnell Glacier, Glacier National Park, MT

When Joe and Aparna started planning for their intimate elopement in Glacier National Park, I knew it was going to be a spectacular moment. We started the day off in East Glacier where Joe and Aparna got ready at a quaint adorable cabin. Stopping by the Many Glacier lodge for a cup of coffee from Montana Coffee traders was a must. We began on the trail as the sun was coming up. This time of year in the park is simply magical and the best part is that it tends to have fewer people that you have to share it with. I loved exchanging adventure stories with Joe and Aparna and learning about their lives. Aparna chose colorful, traditional Indian attire (I loved learning about her culture) that she could hike 11 miles in comfortably. When we got to the Glacier and the incredible color of water flowing out of it, Joe and Aparna exchanged their vows and promised the rest of their lives together. We wandered around the Glacier and the different perspectives depending on where you are standing are astonishing. I am so grateful for this part I got to play in Joe and Aparna’s elopement and wish them many adventures and love together :)
