This West Glacier wedding at Belton Stage Park last fall was so intimate and beautiful and I’m so excited to finally share it! Deon and Sage reached out to me about capturing some wedding photos the day before their courthouse elopement, and I was instantly excited! They were looking for a location that felt private, easy to get to, and not too far of a drive. I immediately thought of Belton Stage Park. It’s such a hidden gem—tucked just outside of West Glacier with stunning mountain views and wide open skies.
Deon’s mom flew in from Atlanta to be there for their special day, which was so special and sweet for them. I actually grew up in Atlanta too, so it was such a fun surprise to connect with her and share that little piece of home!
It was a crisp fall day in late September. Fall is my favorite season in Glacier (check out this stunning Fall engagement in Glacier!), but the weather can often be unpredictable during that time of year. For Sage and Deon’s session, it was a bit chilly and the wind definitely kept us on our toes! Luckily, Deon and Sage were totally so laid back and weren’t bothered. They embraced the elements with such a great attitude and we still had a blast. The wind added gorgeous movement to Sage’s dress and hair, giving the photos such a romantic feel, which I loved!
We adventured around the area, capturing the excitement of their upcoming wedding! Just as we were wrapping up, the sun dipped below the clouds and gave us the most dreamy golden hour light. It was the perfect ending to their session!
