Rehearsal Dinners can be almost as large, important, unique and beautifully decorated as weddings can be. A handful of times a year, I am asked to photograph this important gathering as well as the wedding day. It is so much fun to meet and get to know the important people at the wedding before the actual wedding day. The photos have such a different feeling than wedding day photos, so much more relaxed and candid. It is a time of introductions, reunions, joy and much anticipation! Yep, I've decided the pre-celebration is as important as the post. :)

This is Cat and Matt. I had the honor to photograph their rehearsal dinner and wedding day in September in Big Sky. Their rehearsal dinner was held high in the mountains in above the Gallatin River at Cache Creek. The venue, food and location was provided by Charlie Immenschuh, owner of Cache Creek Outfitters. Although the summer temperatures were gone, everyone bundled up and had a blast at the gathering. Katalin Green coordinated and designed the event and flowers. What a beautiful evening!
