Ella and Russell’s winter wedding at The Lodge at Whitefish Lake was one of those days that just had everything — fresh snow, mountain views, and a celebration that felt completely true to them.

They started with a snowy ceremony at The Lodge at Whitefish Lake in Whitefish, Montana, surrounded by the lake and mountains, and then took the day to another level by heading up to Whitefish Mountain Resort to ski in their wedding attire. It was such a fun and unique way to celebrate, and exactly what makes a Whitefish winter wedding so memorable.

As a Whitefish and Glacier National Park wedding photographer, these are the kinds of days I love — a mix of beautiful scenery, real moments, and couples who want to do something a little different.
