If there’s one kind of wedding we just can’t get enough of, its definitely those intimate backyard weddings. Last summer, Montana cuties Abbie and Jebb invited us to share in their deeply emotional, beyond serene, and incredibly joyful day in Santa Fe.
These two angels first met several years while ice skating on New Years Day in Kalispell, Montana. For Jebb and Abbie, it was love at first sight and their love grew over the years. They spent time skiing, hiking, and enjoying all things outdoors together, eventually leading them to fall more in love with each other’s curiosity for the world and zest for adventure. Jebb and Abbie eventually moved to Jebb’s hometown of Santa Fe with their cutie pie dog, Scout, roughly four years ago and are working on building their new home together.
For their wedding day, these two knew that they wanted it to be truly personal so they settled on a tiny wedding with only their closest friends and family present. Jebb and Abbie were also incredibly intentional with their details including a bouquet and cake made by the bride herself (trust us when we say they are STUNNING), accessories made by local artists, and a reception table were all guests were able to sit together. And if those touches weren’t enough, Jebb and Abbie’s ceremony was one that left everyone in tears of pure happiness and love. To top it all off, we loved spending a few quiet moments with these babes among some beautifully lush greenery with the softest golden hour light surrounding them.
Tiny weddings always leave us so speechless and in total awe, we’re forever in love with those days that take out breath away!
