Summer in Montana is glorious, and paired with a stunning intimate wedding, it’s pure perfection.

Through a personal connection, Victoria and Kevin hosted their wedding at Crazy Mountain Ranch near Big Sky, Montana. The ranch has restored buildings from old Montana towns and turned them into modernized hotel rooms. All their guests had a place to stay, and the renovated saloon hosted their meals. I got to stay in one of the rooms and the experience was top tier!!

The property sits on 18,000 acres and creates authentic experiences for their guests. For example, horseback riding, mountain bike trails, and fly fishing. Victoria and Kevin and their families spent their wedding weekend enjoying all of it!

Victoria told me the day before their wedding that she almost wanted her whole wedding shot on film, which is one of my DREAMS. While I shot mostly digital, I incorporated a ton of film and it was SO FUN! Check out more of my film here!

Enjoy reading about this Montana intimate wedding and let yourself be fully immersed into their story.

The Story

Victoria and Kevin live in New York City, are avid runners and share a love for the outdoors. They have a deep love for each other that exudes to everyone around them. During our first call, they shared that they began planning a big wedding, but it quickly became overwhelming. As a result they thought, “We should just bring our families to Montana and go on a vacation for our wedding.” 

I could not agree more!!!

There were only about 25 people present for the Montana intimate wedding and each person holds a unique and special place in the couple’s lives. From the moment I met V+ K, I could tell they love their families deeply and love like theirs makes for an unforgettable wedding. 

The morning of their wedding was one of the most relaxed weddings I’ve been a part of. Kevin and Victoria both went on separate runs around the property, and they both took their time getting ready! Following a tender first look, we walked all around and took more photos before heading to the top of a mountain for their ceremony.

The ceremony was heartfelt and tear-filled. Kevin’s sister and Victoria’s brother officiated the ceremony and each wrote extremely kind words about their sibling. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room (on the mountain) (including mine!)!

Following the ceremony, Crazy Mountain Ranch set the pair up for a horse drawn carriage ride through their western “main street” while their families cheered them on. Smiles were ALL AROUND! We took a few more sunset photos and they had a special (and DELICIOUS) steak dinner.

At the very end of the evening, Kevin’s sister, an extremely talented musician, serenaded the couple with a rendition of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and the whole room was in tears.
