Carrie and Bobby’s intimate Montana elopement was the perfect reminder that choosing your forever partner is what we’re celebrating on a wedding day. Sometimes weddings become more about putting on a show or having the perfect this or that, and while those things are fun, I loved how Carrie and Bobby simply focused on each other. Definitely the smallest wedding I’ve ever photographed (I was even one of the witnesses!), just Carrie and Bobby, their two neighbors and Bobby’s son showed up on a Thursday morning in June to celebrate commitment, love, and new beginnings.

The cutest moment (besides every moment with the adorable Bo) was when Carrie rang a bell, letting Bobby know she was on her way to become his wife. A small lunch and cake cutting followed the ceremony along with some family pictures just up the road at the beautiful and one-of-a-kind Feather Pipe Ranch in Colorado Gulch.
