S + L got married on the summer solstice at the edge of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. It was a beautiful day with sun and rain, tears and laughter!

We decided to explore the Arkansas Hills in Salida for their engagement session, which provided gorgeous views of town, Mount Ouray, and the Collegiate Peaks.
