Wendy and Ken - July 12, 08

Big Sky Wedding - Manhattan Ranch style

I had the greatest treat a few weeks ago. Jennie Lynn and I attended and photographed the wedding of Wendy and Ken. California girl meets Montana boy... and the land was graced by the union of these two souls. Meeting (not by chance) on eHarmony and finding kindred companionship, these two came together and soon wedding bells were ringing in Montana.
The wedding was scheduled for the beautiful Rainbow Ranch, but as fate would have it, the Rainbow Ranch Lodge had a devastating fire which forced the couple to choose a new venue. They married at Soldiers Chapel in Big Sky and then proceeded to Ken's family property in Manhattan. It was a celebration that remembered to honor fathers and mothers, friends young and old, present and departed. It was a ranch style gathering with a roasted pig, lots of great food, cake, beer and well... it was the most comfortable and natural wedding reception I've been to in awhile.

The good news is that the wedding was a beautiful time on earth. The Rainbow Ranch will be restored to it's original beauty and available for weddings in 2009.













Many beautiful Montana weddings are on my desktop. We shot two weddings last weekend and tomorrow and Saturday we are at it again. Here in Montana, the sun shines on us and the rain cools us off as people enjoy our pristine mountain environs. It's heaven on earth!
