Some stories feel like they’re meant to be told, and E + A’s love story is one of them. From the moment I captured their surprise proposal to the day they said “I do” at The River Edge Resort, it’s been such a joy to witness and document their journey. Their micro wedding was not just beautiful—it was heartfelt, intimate, and absolutely unforgettable.
A Hidden Gem: The River Edge Resort
Let me tell you about this incredible venue. Nestled just 25 minutes west of Missoula along the Clark Fork River, The River Edge Resort feels like a little slice of paradise. The resort recently added a stunning glass-walled pavilion that’s perched right on the riverbank, and it’s an absolute showstopper. Imagine being surrounded by panoramic views of the river and lush Montana landscapes while still enjoying the comfort of a modern space—it’s the best of both worlds.
E + A’s Love Story
Earlier this summer, I had the opportunity to be a part of one of the most exciting moments of E + A's love story: their surprise proposal. I still get goosebumps thinking about the joy and love that filled the air that day. (If you haven’t already, you can read all about their proposal here.)
Fast forward to their wedding day, and that same love was shining even brighter. It’s one thing to witness a couple’s love, but it’s another to see how deeply their family and friends support and celebrate them. E + A’s micro wedding was filled with so much love, laughter, and happy tears—I felt honored to be there.
Watching them exchange vows in such a breathtaking setting was truly something special.
A Day to Remember
Their wedding was nothing short of magical. From having family officiate the wedding, E + A’s personal touches (having figurines of their beloved dogs on their wedding cake and the carefully chosen decor—made every moment feel uniquely them. The bride looked picture perfect wearing her bridal gown from Lulu's completed with a gorgeous bow that she pulled off flawlessly.
I also want to give a shoutout to the amazing team at The River Edge. They provided an amazing dinner service and Pinterest worthy venue, making sure it was seamless so E + A could relax and soak it all in.
Why I Love Micro Weddings
There’s something so special about micro weddings. They’re intimate, intentional, and full of heart. E + A’s day reminded me why I love what I do: capturing genuine moments that tell a couple’s story. With fewer distractions, micro weddings allow everyone to focus on what really matters—the love between two people and the connections they share with their closest friends and family.
Your Dream Wedding at The River Edge
If you’re dreaming of a wedding surrounded by Montana’s natural beauty with a modern twist, The River Edge Resort is the place to be. Their new glass-walled pavilion is a game-changer, offering an unforgettable setting for your special day.
To E + A: Thank you for letting me be part of your incredible journey. From the surprise proposal to your magical wedding day, it’s been an honor to capture these moments for you. Your love is inspiring, and I’m so grateful to have played a small part in your story.
With Love,
Sierra
