From Pandemic Vows to Epic Celebration: Tiffany & Andy's Love Story at RiverHouse BBQ

Many couples had to postpone their dream weddings during the pandemic, leaving them with memories of smaller, more subdued celebrations.

Revisiting those memories can sometimes feel bittersweet without a chance to relive the joy and excitement they truly deserve.

Tiffany and Andy turned their postponed celebration into an unforgettable event, proving that love stories can grow even more beautiful over time. Three years after their pandemic wedding, they gathered friends and family for an epic party at RiverHouse BBQ in Big Sky—and we were there to capture every incredible moment.

Their Love Story

Tiffany and Andy’s journey is one of resilience and joy. Married during a time of uncertainty, they held onto their dreams and celebrated their union in a way that felt uniquely them. Fast forward three years, their celebration at RiverHouse BBQ was filled with laughter, stunning mountain views, and moments that brought everyone together.

From heartfelt toasts to lively dance floors, this was more than a party—it was a testament to their enduring love. Capturing their celebration was an honor and a reminder of why we do what we do: preserving life’s most meaningful moments.
