Rain, Shine, and DIY

I’m pretty sure there is no better honor as a photographer than when a wedding coordinator or photographer asks you to capture their wedding day. This year I’ll do both! And the best thing about shooting a coordinators wedding is they KNOW how to host a great party and they know how to hold what is important above all else.

Emily and Chaseton’s love story played out perfectly at the Y Knot Barn in Pony. Their day, as a wedding coordinators would be, was perfectly curated with details special to them. First of all, they grew their own flowers! Why have I never thought of this!? Their bridal bouquets were so wild and gorgeous, everyone loved them. Emily’s bouquet even included raspberries to represent the ring of berry vines that Chaseton made and proposed with. How sweet, right? Even so, you need to check out her Montana Sapphire ring they created together. I am such a fan of it! Plus, you’ll see the “rock” Emily kept telling me she was going to bring. … That’s …a crystal. I’m pretty sure. And it’s Super Cool! It was so fun for me to get to work with all these unique details! Including Emily’s Grandma’s lucky six pence that she wore in her shoe. And not to mention, the Art on Canvas guest book that they created!

It was beautiful and hot day in Pony with clouds building mercifully throughout the afternoon. Once the ceremony started the skies began to look more and more threatening. As Emily and her dad walked down the isle tiny drops started to occasionally dust the guests and cool them off. It was breezy and beautiful for their “I dos” and just as they shared their first kiss the skies opened up and it began to rain. Everyone laughed as the wind came up and they made their walk back down the isle to ever increasing rain and then full on Montana storm/sideways rain! The bridal party scrapped the rest of the recessional and every guest made a run for the barn! It was the perfect ending to the ceremony and start to their married life!

Emily and Chaseton, may you weather all life’s storms together hand in hand like you did this one. Cheers Delzeits!
