Laid Back Bozeman Montana Wedding for Matt & Youra’s

Welcome to the new happy couple ( Matt and Youra Thompson)! So happy for both of them and can’t hold them for the future.

Congratulations to newlyweds Matt & Youra Thompson! Last month I had the pleasure of being a part of the Thompson's special day. The atmosphere was full of love, situated at their family's home in Bozeman, with friends, family, and beautiful surroundings.

This wedding was very enjoyable. I had so much fun chatting with everyone, enjoying their yummy food, and capturing photos. We were all fortunate that the weather held off for the ceremony as you never know what the weather may do this time of year.

After the beautiful ceremony we gathered to take family and bridal party photos. It was heartwarming, during the dinner reception, listening to many of the family's closest friends and family speak about how amazing and sweet the two newlyweds are.

I adore them both and am so excited for what the future holds. Congratulations and best wishes to the happy couple, Mr & Mrs Thompson!
