Don’t be fooled by these elegant pics courtesy of Simply Sarah Photography; while we may have a classic wedding before us – we’re talking lace and pearls – look a little closer and what do we see? Bridesmaids with cowboy boots peeking out from under those pretty dresses of theirs! The perfect combination of rustic meets elegance, this celebration planned by Habitat Events melds both styles seamlessly for our eager eyes. See every detail and every moment in our Vault right this way!
From Simply Sarah Photography… When Lauren and Andrew first got engaged, choosing their wedding venue was an easy choice! They chose the bride’s family’s private ranch in Red Lodge, Montana as a picturesque destination to bring their family and friends from all over the U. S. to celebrate their fun filled wedding weekend!
From the Bride… Andrew and I had met in passing several times, through introductions from a number of mutual friends, before he asked me out about a year later. We’ve both considered ourselves to be a couple immediately following that first date, a cozy dinner at Aqua Al 2 in DC, where I (admittedly) talked his ear off and he (admittedly) dominated the decorating of “our” very own plate for the restaurant walls. It is hard to put a finger on when or how we fell in love because it was effortless and nearly immediate once we had entered each other’s lives. He would say that it was his dashing good looks and two championship rings that sealed the deal, but in truth, seeing the way he is with our friends and family, it was easy to take the measure of this open, loyal and outgoing person and know that this would be the one for me. Luckily for us, the feeling was mutual!
Our favorite part of our wedding weekend was getting to share the moment, and the time surrounding it in a space that is special to us both, with so many of our friends and family. We are lucky to have found each other and are blessed with the love of and support of so many wonderful people. We dearly missed those that couldn’t be there and appreciated everyone who could make the long trek to experience it with us.
