Eloping on top of a mountain in Whitefish, Montana takes a special kind of couple and by special I mean tough as nails!
My couples may look warm in the photos, but don't kid yourself, it is cold! It is all worth it getting to say "I DO" on top of the world surrounded by all of the beauty Montana has to offer.
The day began with a cold ride up chair one to the summit of Whitefish Mountain Resort. When eloping at the Summit of any mountain, especially one known for some pretty intense weather, you must be flexible. I had back up plans to my back up plans depending on what the weather would bring.
This particular February 27 , Mother Nature treated us to cold, snow, fog, wind and finally a beautiful ray of sunshine!
Baily and Jordan just rolled with the punches. They are seriously the most chill, fun, relaxed and loving couple. Nothing seems to phase them, they simply go with the flow. This is a true sentiment to how they live life daily and how I believe they will continue to live life together.
The summit was a bit foggy and windy, so we went with plan b. We took a short walk to a spot nestled between the snow ghosts that had a peak a boo view of the mountains that surround. The trees blocked the gusty wind and the ceremony began.
Sarah Harding gave a beautiful ceremony filled with love, laughter and of course 'I do's'
The Couple
After the ceremony we headed into the summit house for a quick warm up and the signing of the marriage license. We then headed back outside where we were greeted by the sun! We hopped onto our skis and snowboards and headed to a different location on the mountain to capture some epic photos.
We decided to stop half way down the run Inspiration- the name says it all! We had views for miles and the iconic Great Northern Mountain stood snowcapped in the background. We unstrapped our skis and boards and had a magical photo session on the side of the ski run!
The mountain was not busy at all this cool February day. We felt like we had the entire mountain to ourselves. They danced across the snow together with all of the beauty this unforgettable day provided.
We ended the day with an amazing shred down the mountain to the Base Lodge. Everything about this day was perfection. I truly love being a part of all of my couples' special days. Knowing I am creating and capturing memories that they will pass down from generation to generation is something that I take very seriously, but have a blast doing it!
As I have said many many times before....a couple that shreds together stays together!
Love my job.....love my couples!
