Montana Treehouse Elopement w/ Glacier National Park Adventure Session

a treehouse, a freehouse for s + j

Jenny and Sean said a big “no thanks” to plans and timelines for their elopement and it was the best. decision. ever.

We met at Montana Treehouse Retreat for pancakes and coffee before Sean headed out to shoot guns at Northwest Shooter and Jenny got pampered by the amazingggg hair and makeup team, Honey Beauty— I always encourage our couples to think about how they want their days to *feel* and to plan for their experience, not for a cold photo shoot. It always, always, always pays off.

Sean and Jenny had their first look at the base of the treehouse — you freaking guys. You should have seen the look on Sean’s face when Jenny descended the staircase. He said that Jenny is going to end up in every single wedding magazine and Pinterest board and blog and uhmmmm — he’s correct. Ha!!

We got in the car and headed to the park where they laid eyes on Glacier National Park for the first time together. They wanted to save their vows for when it felt right, and so it was a spontaneous, intimate moment complete with rushing water and a bighorn sheep that tried to get in on the action too, the craziest sunset, ~spooky flash photography~ and twilight vibes after dark, and a picnic for two back at the treehouse will have to wait because there was way too much goodness for one blog post. Sean and Jenny wanted a free flowing day that felt like them and I’d say we crushed it.

Here’s to the Kummers!

We rang in the new year with this elopement-style session at Oi! Yoi! in Missoula, Montana and it was the sweetest day with Meghan and Donovan! They both laughed and teared up during their first look, had a blast playing with confetti and disco balls, and cut into a delicious cake from Posy Cake Studio.
