An intimate fall Belton Stage Park wedding in West Glacier

This Belton Stage Park wedding in West Glacier last fall was so intimate and beautiful and I’m so excited to finally share it! Kari and Jackson reached out to me about capturing some wedding photos during their honeymoon trip to Montana, after their hometown 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 Glacier National Park with stunning mountain views and wide open skies.

The day of their session was a stunning and crisp day in September. Fall is my favorite season in Glacier National Park (check out this stunning Fall engagement in Glacier!), but the weather can often be unpredictable during that time of year! For Kari and Jackson, we really lucked out! We had sunshine and mild temps. Not too hot, not too cold!

 We started at Ryan Beach, a hidden little spot on Lake McDonald. We spent some time along the shoreline, and then made our way into the forest for some photos. I love the trees at this spot…they are so large and epic and give me all the Twilight vibes! After our time at Lake McDonald, we drove over to Belton Stage Park, which just a short 5 minute drive. We adventured around the area, capturing the excitement of their recent elopement! I was absolutely obsessed with Kari’s dress. She added the most stunning cape, that was so fun to photograph! The way the light and wind hit it was *chefs kiss.* 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! I had the best time getting to know these two and capturing this new season of life for them!
