When Tabby, our fab Hive photographer, rolls up to Firelight Farm in Bozeman for Tara and Chris’ winter wedding, it’s pure December magic. Think light snow-dusted vibes, cozy western chic, and ALL the love. She kicks things off with those dreamy detail shots—rings nestled in greenery like chef’s kiss. Then, it’s off to the bridal suite, where Tara is getting ready in the coolest boots blue cowgirl boots that scream, “I’m a badass bride, thank you very much.”

Tara and Chris lean into the western aesthetic, and let me just say, they nail it. These two have been rocking the vibe since their engagement photos with horses earlier this year. And their wedding day? A total yeehaw masterpiece.

Here’s what makes it extra cool: Chloe, their adorable pup, struts (read, RAN) her stuff as the star guest. The ceremony is winter perfection—intimate, warm, and glowing inside. Afterward, they take the party to Ponderosa Social, this rad bowling bar in Bozeman. Picture just married sunglasses, a champagne tower that made us all feel fancy, and laughs that can melt any Montana frost. Truly, this wedding is one for the books!
