“Olivia and Jeffery are high school sweethearts who met through mutual friends. They chatted for weeks over text before they finally met in person at a bonfire at a campground in Columbia Falls. The connection they felt online was even stronger in person, and they spent the whole night, dusk till dawn, cuddled in a hammock talking about everything that came to mind. After their all-nighter, they knew they were something that was going to last forever. Olivia said she’s basically been begging him to propose ever since then. Last summer Jeffery went to a vintage jewelry store and picked out the whimsical ring he’d been promising her. They hiked up to a popular peak in Flathead Valley, and Olivia said she knew what was going down because Jeffery was practically attached at the hip. But when they got to the top, dozens and dozens of people were there. Jeffery knew Olivia didn’t want a public proposal, so they found a private little spot and got through the ‘awkward formality’ of the proposal. As such a chill and down-to-earth couple, Jeffery is a home care assistant, and Olivia is a Montessori preschool teacher; they celebrated their proposal in a way more fitting for them the next day by thrifting and getting sushi. Later, we returned to where they met to take their engagement photos, and they showed me the spot where they fell in love. Now this summer they are getting married on Jeffery’s parents’ ranch where Olivia will arrive in a horse and carriage. Olivia and I are childhood best friends. We used to spend hours at our hidden fort dreaming up what our husbands would be like, and Jeffery is exactly what Olivia wished for! The first pictures I ever took were of her, and it’s been a privilege to photograph these big moments in her life.”
