Adventure Portraits at Logan Pass & Sunset at Lake McDonald

R & S initially reached out to me (Hannah) after their traditional Indian wedding asking for an epic location to take some portraits! They weren’t in love with the individual portraits from their wedding, and they wanted to put back on a couple of their wedding costumes to get some incredible photos with huge mountains instead. So, we chatted about weather and a few locations in both Washington and Montana. Originally, they wanted to take the photos immediately after their wedding, but it was still really early in the year, and the mountains were all covered in snow and not very accessible. We landed on Glacier National Park in early July right after the Going-to-the-Sun Road opened!

Logan Pass Couples Portraits

We started up at Logan Pass in the early evening! You wouldn’t believe it based on these photos (thanks Photoshop!), but this trail was completely packed with other visitors. All of us knew that it was going to be busy, but R & S really wanted sunset, so we made it work! This is one of those spots, though, that we only recommend for sunrise due to crowds, and especially for elopements and intimate weddings.

Not only did we get to explore such a gorgeous part of Glacier, but the sun came out for us, too! This location and their first costume worked perfectly together ❤️ AND we stayed on trail the entire time!!

Big Bend Portraits in Traditional Indian Wedding Attire

After exploring part of Logan Pass, we drove down to Big Bend to capture these two with the most iconic view in all of Glacier! The three of us trekked over snow, climbed on rocks, saw some wildlife (hint: Big Bend is a great place to see deer), and laughed together. July is a great time for lush greenery in the valley and on the mountainside!

Sunset Wedding Photos at Lake McDonald

To finish off their adventure portraits in Glacier, we boogied down to West Glacier for the last bit of sunset! We caught one of the most incredible sunsets with all the beautiful reds and pinks, which perfectly matched S’s traditional bridal lehenga. The three of us danced around until after dark on the shore, avoiding the mosquitoes and marveling at Lake McDonald.
