  Montana does this thing where it gets really cold. And snowy. It gets really cold and snowy and lasts for MONTHS. I’m talking 8 or 9 months. That’s the amount of time it takes to make a human! Last year in March, I’m pretty sure a lot of us still had snow on the […]

  Planning… Having a first look is something that I didn’t even know about when Denton and I were planning our wedding over a decade ago. I don’t even know if there were first looks then! When Leo and Zulema were planning their day, a first look wasn’t in the plans. It was going to […]
