Rachel + Clint | 06/29/2019

A beautiful 73 degree day with a light Montana breeze swept through on Saturday. Rachel and Clint prepared for the day separately; Rachel with her girls giggling with bubbly and a laid back morning and Clint with his best men drinking a few beers and casually strapping on their suspenders in Clint and Rachel’s home. When we arrived the consensus was that everyone was just ready for these two to finally be married! With a quick stop at Club Moderne left all the boys in a good mood ready to marry off their best guy! The girls helped Rachel get dressed and ready to walk down the aisle to her forever.

At the place they both love, the Anaconda Country Club, with a sport they both love – golf as a wedding theme these two tied the knot. As Rachel rode up in the golf cart with her dad you could see Clint physically holding back tears. She was absolutely beautiful! Their ceremony was touching, funny, and there were joyful, thoughtful tears shed by many! Back down the aisle they went as Mrs and Mr Barkell and everyone rejoiced! The rest of the day was exactly how you would have imagined when you think of Rachel and Clint. It was full of love and a lot of laughter! Clint couldn’t stop looking and admiring his new wife and Rachel was beaming ear to ear, I am sure her cheeks were aching by the end of the night!

Some of my favorite moments and pieces of the day were: Rachel with her Grandmother’s garter in the original box, Clint watching a video on how to tie his tie and having everyone try to assist, getting the ring bearer down the aisle by rolling a basketball, a side-kick flower girl with mad polaroid skills, a very epic groomsmen pyramid, a little golf cart incident, the most spectacular sunset, crazy delicious desserts, their amazing niece and nephew dancing a special dance, some good booty shakin’ on the dance floor, and by far the best part was the comments on how everyone had been waiting for this day for a long time and the amount of love and joy you could feel now that the day was here!

Congratulations Rachel and Clint Barkell! May every day from here on out be your best adventure yet!
