Ranch Weddings

Nora & Alex

The Kleffner venue outside of Helena, Montana has a beautiful historical barn that was built in the late 1800's and is lovingly cared for.  Weddings and reception can be in the barn itself, or on the grounds.  The huge cottonwood trees offer wonderful shade, and a creekside ceremony.

Grace & Rudy

Dillon, Montana's mountains and meadows with horse drawn wagons bringing the guests to the ceremony made a beautiful backdrop for the wedding.  The bride rode her palomino horse to the ceremony under the Big Sky.  Sidesaddle bride, ranchlife, with cowboys and cowgirls.

Set in Sidney, Montana this ranch wedding was rich in community and love.  The barn offered shelter from the wind, and the bride and groom warmed up with a Pendleton blanket. The Yellowstone river was nearby, and a spot people hunt agates, and fish. Love their horses and dogs. Cowgirl, cowboys.

Ranch Weddings in your own meadow, or at an exclusive ranch venue such as Rock Creek, Big Sky, Rainbow Ranch, or Yellowstone Valley Lodge are a favorite of mine as I love the Montana landscapes, ranch life, and the beautiful images of the day!  Getting married in a barn?
