Of all the magical places to get married, my photographer heart swoons when I book a Flathead Lake Wedding in Montana. There are few places in the world that make me feel as peaceful and connected to nature. When this Arizona based couple contacted me and said they dreamed of photos that exuded joy, celebration, and happiness- I knew they were my people. Their community of friends and family is the most important value in their life. Capturing all the happiness between friend groups, generations of family, and their love as a couple felt like a dream. I love when my values align with my couples’! As someone who spent 5 years living in Missoula, traveling Northwest for their Flathead Lake Wedding in Montana felt like coming home.

Tips for Planning a Destination Wedding in Montana
- Be aware that Montana is a travel destination for travelers worldwide. Holiday weekends will be the most expensive weeks for guests to fly in. Lodging costs also increase during holidays!
- Montana is more rural than most people realize. If guests aren’t used to driving on mountain roads, some lodges and hotels offer shuttle services.
- Think about the season + time of year. The most popular months of the year to get married in Montana is mid June through mid September. Montana experiences four full seasons and they are definitely noticeable!
- If you’re dreaming of a Flathead Lake Wedding in Montana, the closest nearby towns to look for wedding vendors include Missoula, Spokane, Kalispell, and Boise, Idaho.
- Hire a LOCAL Montana wedding planner. There can be many challenges to planning a wedding in a small rural mountain region and local planners have connections & resources others out of town won’t. I love Bash Bozeman, Shannon Rose Events, and Emily Aitken Events.
