Winter Big Sky Montana Wedding | Montana Wedding Photographers

After a year and a half of postponements, pivoting and guidelines this Skamania Lodge wedding was our first wedding that felt relatively “normal” again. Due to being completely outside, we got to see lots of smiling faces again!

Although we’ll be honest, remove the pandemic part and we loved all the smaller wedding days we got to be a part of in 2020 and the first half of 2021. Getting to be a part of witnessing – and photographing – a life event with only a few of a couple’s closest family and friends is really an honor.

However, I’d also be lying if I didn’t admit that I got choked up during the first song the DJ played at this wedding with everyone on the dance floor. As self-proclaimed introverts this was not the part of the day I was expecting to welcome back with overwhelming emotions. But after all we’ve been through the past few years, seeing the joy and excitement set to music was an experience. And it might have resulted in some of our favorite dance floor shots.

It was a surreal experience to be around a big wedding party and lots of guests but it was the absolute best group to work with! I know we say it all the time, but you could feel the love family and friends have for this couple. It was worth the wait, and a venue change to make it happen!
