Introducing the new Mr. and Mrs. Fauver! Rachel and Carl had a Montana wedding celebration to remember, and we are honored to have captured all of the sweetest memories and beautifully planned details! Their wedding took place at Moonlight Basin, a Big Sky venue with scenic mountain views in every direction. Rachel and Carl’s wedding day was filled with special moments, such as Rachel’s First Look with her dad and brother and a sweet letter exchange between the bride and groom before the ceremony.

It was a beautiful day for an outdoor ceremony focused on faith and family. Rachel and Carl said “I do” under a gorgeous flower arch with the mountains in the distance. The ceremony was made even more meaningful by special traditions including the Scottish Quaich and Breaking of the Glass. Everyone shouted “Mazel Tov” to celebrate the newlyweds as they joyfully made their way back down the aisle as husband and wife!

After the ceremony, guests were greeted with custom cocktails and an assortment of appetizers underneath the outdoor tent. Rachel and Carl shared their First Dance and cut their cake while surrounded by all of their friends and family. Carl even opened a bottle of champagne with a saber before guests headed inside for dinner! As the sun began to set, guests enjoyed a flavor of Montana with a delicious menu including bison filet mignon.

Later in the evening, we had the opportunity to take golden hour bride and groom portraits with the mountains in the background, and it was truly the most breathtaking backdrop! Rachel and Carl bring out each other’s biggest smiles, and it was a joy capturing their first moments as husband and wife! As the evening continued, guests enjoyed a lively outdoor dance floor and specialty dessert table. To end the perfect night, Mr. and Mrs. Fauver ran through a sea of rose petals tossed by their guests.

Congratulations, Rachel and Carl! Just like your custom ring box says, the adventure is just beginning! Wishing you all of the love, happiness, and adventure in the world as you continue your journey together as husband and wife!
