Glacier National Park Elopement | Amanda & Ethan

Photographing Amanda and Ethan’s Glacier National Park elopement was freaking DREAM!!

From the very beginning of our friendship, these two got me out and adventuring everywhere. It all started with their engagement session, when they took me to Tamanawas Falls in Mount Hood National Forest. We hiked for over an hour in the snow, and eventually ended up at the most stunning waterfall deep in the forest. It was actually where Ethan proposed to Amanda in the first place!

They decided that, after their backyard microwedding, they wanted to say their vows in Glacier National Park. They chose this spot because it’s where they took their very first road trip together! So when they asked me to come along with them on this honeymoon trip, I couldn’t say no!

Here’s how Amanda told this story:
“My husband and I fell in love in Glacier National Park during our first trip there. Glacier is absolutely breathtaking, and hiking through it in a wedding dress and boots in the snow was one of the best (and hardest) things I’ve done! Going back to say our vows and taking wedding photos there was a once in a lifetime experience that we’ll never forget!”

My videographer partner, Alesia, and I road tripped up to Montana together. When we got there, it was legit zero degrees outside! During our first day there, we explored and scouted the perfect spots for Amanda & Ethan to read their vows.

When the time came, we met Amanda & Ethan at their condo. They got ready to hike in their wedding clothes, and then we set out toward Avalanche Lake. After an hour-long hike through the forest in the snow, we came out to the most gorgeous frozen lake with NOBODY there.

We set all our bags down and walked to the edge of the freezing lake. Amanda & Ethan pulled out their vow books, and read them to each other in the silence of the massive lake. It was one of the most special things I’ve ever witnessed!

Then, since they only had dinner at their microwedding reception, we had them do their first dance by that lake. It felt like it was just the two of them, suspended in time.

Afterward, Amanda & Ethan popped champagne, danced around the lake, and watched the sun pop out from behind the clouds. We sat down and Ethan pulled out the White Claws and sandwiches that he’d packed with them.! We all sat together and ate lunch before hiking back into the forest.

WHY we're the perfect match

WE ARE SOULMATES

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

"When she says she’ll climb mountains for you, she really means it."

Michelle is one of the most down to earth, genuine, amazing and talented people I’ve met. There is no other photographer I would rather have at my wedding besides Michelle. She captures love at its most beautiful moments and doesn’t leave any details out. Our photos were everything we wanted and more! Thank you Michelle for being THE BEST photographer and friend. We’ll cherish our photos (and you!) forever!
