Copper Rose Ranch
Nicole and Joey’s wedding at Copper Rose Ranch was one of those days that reminds me why I love being a Paradise Valley wedding photographer. Set against the breathtaking mountains near Pray, Montana and Emigrant, Montana, just outside Livingston, this celebration was filled with raw emotion, stunning views, and pure Montana magic.
Morning Of
From the moment we started the day at their private cabin on the ranch, the beauty of Copper Rose Ranch was undeniable. We hung Nicole’s dress and captured beautiful getting-ready moments that highlighted the rustic elegance of the venue. Then came the first look with Joey — full of tears, laughs, and that undeniable connection they share.
Before the Ceremony
The bridal party looked incredible, and we took full advantage of the sweeping Paradise Valley mountain views for portraits. Pray Montana weddings always deliver the most incredible backdrops, and this day was no exception.
The Ceremony
As the ceremony began, a light rain started to fall — but instead of dampening the mood, it made everything even more romantic. Nicole and Joey exchanged vows in their cowboy hats with the mountains behind them. It was intimate, heartfelt, and perfectly them.
Reception
After the ceremony, we moved into the stunning dining barn at Copper Rose Ranch. The space was filled with wildflowers and warm lighting that created the coziest atmosphere. The couple spent the evening fully present with their guests, sharing hugs, laughs, and some of the most touching speeches I’ve heard. The barn at Copper Rose never disappoints.
Run away to the Mountains with Me
As the sun began to set, we snuck away for golden hour portraits. Nicole and Joey ran through the fields in their cowboy hats with the Paradise Valley mountains glowing behind them — pure magic. We even caught them dancing under the moonlight before they headed back to party the night away with their favorite people.
