There’s something truly special about weddings that feel less like an event and more like a homecoming — a gathering of people, stories, and traditions that just feel right. That was exactly the energy at the Van Orden’s wedding, a day that overflowed with love, laughter, and the spirit of Montana woven through every moment. Their wedding day in the Gallatin Valley wasn’t just a celebration—it was a testament. A testament to deep connection, steady love, and the kind of presence that keeps chaos at bay. While many weddings swirl with last-minute nerves and fast-moving logistics, this one felt calm, grounded, and genuine.
From the beginning, it was clear this wasn’t going to be your average wedding. It was theirs — intentional, grounded, and full of personal touches that honored who they are and where they’re from in the most intimate way.
Set against the backdrop of wide-open Montana skies, cotton wood snowing in the background, their venue perfectly reflected their roots. Horses roamed nearby and guests were welcomed like family.
And speaking of guests... their crew showed up. The energy was high, the dancing never stopped, and the laughter echoed. It was a celebration of deep connection, not just between Cass and Cody, but among everyone who showed up to love them.
Some of my favorite details? Their custom merch (seriously, so fun), the way they honored family throughout the day, and the subtle nods to Montana life that kept the entire experience feeling honest, grounded, and completely authentic. This wasn’t just a wedding — it was a true reflection of two people who care deeply about their story and the people in it.
Getting to document it all was such an honor. From the quiet moments between the couple to the wild ones on the dance floor, this wedding reminded me why I do what I do — to capture moments that mean something, and to preserve the spirit of a day that will be remembered forever.
Xx, Heather
