Romantic + Whimsical | Missoula Montana Wedding

We traveled to Missoula Montana the weekend of October 28 to celebrate this romantic & whimsical Montana wedding that just so happened to fall on my birthday!

When we arrived in the getting ready suite to meet Toni & her girl squad, there was so much energy and excitement. Everyone was genuinely thrilled for her and there was so much laughter filling the room. Jared and his boys were equally in jovial spirits, and came up with some fantastic ideas for their groomsmen portraits.

Toni & Jared chose to not do a first look, so once the ceremony was over, we dashed outside to the beautiful park and were met with the absolute perfect light. Toni had a few specific shot requests in mind – including actual shots, where she drank her groomsmen under the table.

Our favorite part of this wedding was their fun reception game of Musical Chairs Scavenger Hunt. We posted a video of it below, and we think you’ll love it just as much as we did! There wasn’t a dry eye from all the laughter. It truly was a fantastic infusion of their personality and relationship – and we hope it’s a trend we see more of in the coming year. Ok, ok, I know we all want to know some of the details, right? I’ll have Toni tell them, and then don’t forget to leave this awesome couple some comment love below.

Jared totally played off my love for Christmas but knew I hated cliché proposals (on Christmas day, new years, valentines day, birthdays ect )

So he took me and our son to the North Pole in Couer D’Alene, ID. A Ferry Boat takes you across the lake to see santa at the north pole. There are tons of Lights and moving features to see and when you get to the workshop they fire up the sleigh and santa reads off the good list of boys and girls. Payson name was even on there 😉  We were freezing cold and read to go below deck when Jared got down on one knee to present the ring! I said yes obviously, and with frozen noses and lips we kissed! We headed below deck for some cocoa and admiring of my sparkly ring. when we got back to hotel he had our son Payson present me with my birthday gift (3 days early)…. A Steelers jersey with my future last name on the back! It was absolutely perfect and magical!

Through Mutual friends… his best friend and my best friend actually. and we were the best man and maid of honor in their wedding.

Close to our family and downtown Missoula. And its beautiful.

Griz football but we didn’t want a completely Griz wedding so we took their main color maroon/burgundy and paired it with gold instead of silver.

  • You may have noticed something new around here.  As we align our brands - @gsquaredwedding and @gsquaredsessions we felt that this best match for who we are as people.  The mountain is one we see daily out our front windows - Mt Pilchuck.  And the star - we both love stargazing and find a special magic in the stars (and the moon!).  We are so excited to be rolling out the new GSquared just in time for @mysnohomishwedding  Tour on May 31.
