t’s not every day that you get to shoot a wedding for a couple you who love and care for deeply. This day in July was that once-in-a-while occurrence for me. This is Trinidad and Nikol. Trinidad (Trini as I know him) is my best friend’s uncle. I’ve known him since I was basically a child & have been blessed to spend time with him on countless family vacations and holidays. In my early teen years, he met Nikol and we all knew- THIS. WAS. THE. ONE. Fast forward to early 2022, I was asked to shoot their beautiful destination wedding in the stunning Flathead Lake, Montana. In July, it came time for the wedding, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. They tied the knot lakeside in the back of their gorgeous lake house rental, surrounded by their closest friends and family. Nikol rode into the ceremony on a literal boat and if you know her, there wasn’t a more perfect entrance for the icon that she is. After the ceremony, the couple, as well as their bridesmaids and groomsmen, hopped on a boat off into the lake to have a 10-minute champagne celebration moment together. After returning, we all took a SCHOOL BUS to the reception where we danced the night away and enjoy some of the most delicious gourmet donuts Montana has to offer. It was truly a night to remember.
