Situated in the stunning landscape of Montana, Glacier National Park is an ideal location for couples looking for an intimate and unforgettable elopement experience. The park’s towering peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and exquisite waterfalls offer a picturesque backdrop for exchanging vows. We explored two of Glacier National Park’s enchanting locations, Pray Lake and Running Eagle Falls, for Shantel and Gerard’s wedding, which ws perfect for their elopement. Everything about the day complemented these two and their story. They wanted a gorgeous setting for their wedding while surrounded by their people, and that’s what we gave them!

A Love Story Amidst the Wilderness

Shantel and Gerard’s journey is a testament to the healing power of nature and the bonds forged through shared experiences. They met while working together at a free-standing ER. And, found solace in each other’s company during challenging times. As they navigated the complexities of their separate relationships ending, their friendship blossomed more profoundly. Nearly four years later, they stood together as they exchanged vows at Glacier National Park.

Choosing the Perfect Location at Glacier National Park

For couples like Shantel and Gerard, Glacier National Park offered an array of stunning locations for portraits and a ceremony. Pray Lake, with tranquil waters and panoramic mountain views, provided a serene and secluded setting for an intimate elopement. Surrounded by towering forests and rugged peaks, Running Eagles Falls was the ideal location for a first look followed by portrait session. And we even returned at the end of the day to show off the beautiful location to their wedding gues
