Montana Winter Elopement: Michaela + Abraham
Elopements don’t have to mean a grungy chapel in Las Vegas or a quick trip to the Courthouse. They can mean gassing up the snowmobile, wearing a dress under your snowsuit, grabbing the dog (and a few beers), bringing a handful of friends of family, and heading into the woods. Sometimes paring down a wedding experience to only the necessary things adds a beauty all its own to the moment. That’s exactly what we did with Michaela and Abraham’s winter elopement in Marysville, MT.

Being avid snowmobilers, these two spent several days searching for the perfect spot behind Great Divide Ski Hill to bind their lives together. They succeeded with the spot we ventured to, where the snow was deep, making each step a guessing game as to whether you would be 6’2” or 4’8” afterward.
One of the things that I love most about weddings or elopements is being able to see their unique story. They have made many decisions about how to bring their day together, and most things involved in the day hold significance to the them.
And, when that involves just a handful of things, like snowmobiles, dogs, beer and friends, it is fun to be immersed in that story for a moment.
