When we say Maggie and Arlyn’s wedding at Feathered Pipe Ranch was not a traditional wedding, we mean it. As one of the sweetest Montana destination weddings we’ve seen, we would relive this day over and over again! Maggie is one of a kind. Our friendship dates back to when we were ten years old, racing in the pool and freezing our tiny buns off!

It has been such a joy to follow all of life’s and ups and downs and what led her to Arlyn – her best friend! Maggie lights UP like a fricken firework around Arlyn. A type A queen, Maggie gets her shit handled and Arlyn completely balances her out and provides that safe feeling of home and that freedom for her to give up the reigns.

Flash back to our styled shoot in Moab where Maggie and Arlyn tore it up on the looks and then broke down in laughter. They are always joking, smiling, and serving the best vibes.

On to their Montana destination wedding. It POURED rain their entire ceremony creating a really beautiful, intimate, magical moment. I mean, would The Notebook scene be as epic had it not been for the rain?? THE PASSION! Maggie is just all smiles.

Next to Maggie are her entourage of gal pals. Their dresses – gorg. Their long-styled cardigans, I’m LIVING for it.  For her own ensemble, Maggie rocked a shawl with flowers on it that her friend MADE! Talk about making your day extra special. Maggie also had on a pair of rad boots that she made sure we got some feature photos of.

Shoutout to this Montana destination wedding at Feathered Pipe Ranch for having a SWING on the property. Both a great time and great for photos. The whole venue is such a gem. They focus on yoga retreats, and you bet we scoped out the yoga huts in the back of the Pines. Helena has been the capital of Montana since 1902 and it’s awesome to see all the retreats and venues that have popped up around it. Even in the capital it’s easy to see why it’s called Big Sky!

    DYING, KELSEY!!
    Oh my god you absolutely killed it. It captures literally everything I wanted in our day. I’m laughing, I’m crying, I’m all the emotions looking at these. Thank you for doing what you do and encompassing the whole mood, the whole scene. I’m going to go ahead and just wallpaper our house in these now.
