The Ceremony

The ceremony was outdoors and it was a wet one!  Aaron and Amber's golden retrievers were the ring bearer and flower girl and they were not allowed inside.  The bride was determined to have them there rain or shine this wedding would be outside.  We got wet and it was a bit chilly, but it was perfect...meant to be. The beautiful bride walked down the aisle with her Mom. The exchange of rings; they wrote their own vows and made everyone cry...there wasn't a dry eye in the place! Congratulations!
































Pre-Wedding

This is the living room area of the apartment we got to have in the huge old house.  We were up in the attic.  Marc stayed with the kids...Jaxon and Aiyla got to hang out with the cousins. The bride took the bridesmaids to lunch. We arrived at the local ski lodge which was also the wedding venue. Sabrina painted the signs. Aaron and Amber's love story was displayed on a little table. They wrote it while in Thailand. Mom did the whole wedding...it was beautiful as always. Dad was the officiant.  I caught him practicing the ceremony. We had some mimosas while getting ready. I caught a few sneak pictures while the couple went off with the photographer. Then we took a bunch of family photos...so beautiful! Aiyla was filling out a wooden heart which goes in a glass frame for the bride and groom. There were so many areas that told the story of Aaron and Amber and made for fun photo backdrops. The last few pictures of Emma and Marc were found later on my camara...cute father/daughter selfies.





































































































Aaron & Amber Rehearsal Dinner

We traveled to Bozeman this weekend for Aaron and Amber's wedding.  The rehearsal dinner was held at the house we stayed in.  It was a beautiful old brick house with plenty of room for all of us.  We started off the evening with a family photo. They had a pinata for the kids...so fun! Aaron sandblasted water bottles for all the groomsman...so cool! We took lots of family photos. Jared was not able to join, he was back in England. We tried for a family photo but Aiyla had her own plan...can you see her escaping back there? We took a sibling photo and the bride with her bridesmaids...Congratulations Amber!
