Hot on the heels of their amazing welcome party on Lake McDonald, Maria, Michael, and their family and friends convened in Rexford Montana for the big wedding day. With the backdrop of Lake Koocanusa and the surrounding mountains, and after some emotional first looks—Maria with her dad, then with Michael—they shared some private vows before the main ceremony.

To complement one of the subtle themes of pollinators—butterflies, bees, etc.—the wedding was full of colorful florals in a wide variety of pastels. From the ceremony site to the dinner and dessert table, we were surrounded by color in every direction.

The night came to a close with some impromptu fly fishing and copious amounts of Abba from the DJ.
