There's something special about a summer wedding in Glacier National Park. The mountains, the turquoise water, and the opportunity to slow down and celebrate with the people you love most. Carter and Tiffany's wedding was filled with all of those things and so much more!
On July 20, 2026, Carter and Tiffany celebrated their wedding surrounded by their closest family and friends along the shores of Lake McDonald. From emotional family moments to exploring some of Glacier National Park's most iconic locations, their day was one we won't soon forget.
Getting Ready at Stay Treetops in Coram, Montana
Their day began at Stay Treetops, a beautiful property tucked away in Coram, Montana, just outside Glacier National Park.
We love when couples choose a getting-ready location where everyone can be together before the ceremony. It gives us the opportunity to capture all those little moments that make a wedding day so personal. The anticipation, the laughter, and the excitement of knowing you're about to marry your favorite person.
One of our absolute favorite moments from Carter and Tiffany's wedding was Tiffany's first look with her dad. We've filmed a lot of first looks over the years, but this one was truly something special. It's moments like these that remind us why wedding videography matters so much. Being able to look back and not only see those reactions but experience the emotion all over again is something we never take for granted.
A Lakeside Wedding at Lake McDonald Lodge Beach
After getting ready, we headed into Glacier National Park for their ceremony at Lake McDonald Lodge Beach.
If you've ever visited Lake McDonald, you know just how breathtaking this location is. The colorful rocks beneath the clear water, the surrounding mountains, and the incredible views make it one of our favorite places for an intimate wedding in Glacier National Park.
With around 15-20 of their closest family members and friends gathered along the shoreline, Carter and Tiffany exchanged vows surrounded by some of Montana's most beautiful scenery.
What made their ceremony even more meaningful was that Tiffany's sister, Briana, officiated their wedding. Having someone who knows you personally lead such an important moment adds something incredibly special to the day.
For couples planning a Glacier National Park wedding with family and friends, Lake McDonald Lodge Beach is definitely a location worth exploring. It's beautiful, relatively accessible, and offers those iconic mountain and lake views that so many couples travel to Montana to experience. Just be sure to check the park's current wedding permit requirements and location restrictions.
Exploring Glacier National Park: 7 Mile Pullout
After their ceremony, we headed along Going-to-the-Sun Road to capture more of their wedding film.
One of our stops was 7 Mile Pullout, sometimes referred to as Sandy Beach. This is such a beautiful location for wedding portraits because you get a completely different perspective of Lake McDonald.
The open shoreline, colorful rocks, and mountains in the distance create an incredible backdrop for photos and video.
One thing we love about filming weddings in Glacier National Park is how much variety you can capture without having to travel too far. You can go from a peaceful lakeside ceremony to beautiful beach portraits and then find yourself surrounded by towering mountains.
And that's exactly what makes these wedding days so memorable!
Wedding Portraits at Big Bend on Going-to-the-Sun Road
Our next stop was Big Bend, one of the most breathtaking locations along Going-to-the-Sun Road.
If you're planning a Glacier National Park elopement or intimate wedding, this is one location we always love incorporating when the schedule and park conditions allow.
The sweeping mountain views, dramatic peaks, and incredible scenery make it feel like something straight out of a movie.
It's also one of those places where you can really appreciate just how incredible Glacier National Park is. No matter how many weddings we film here, those mountain views never get old!
We love giving our couples time to explore, enjoy the scenery, and simply be together while we capture those natural, in-between moments.
Celebrating at Stay Treetops
After exploring Glacier National Park, Carter and Tiffany headed back to Stay Treetops for their reception.
One thing we love about this type of wedding day is that couples get to experience the best of both worlds. They can exchange vows surrounded by Glacier's incredible scenery and then return to a more private setting to celebrate with their favorite people.
For destination couples, finding a property near Glacier National Park that can accommodate getting ready and a reception can make the wedding day feel so much more relaxed.
A Wedding Film Full of Memories
Every wedding we film reminds us that it's not just about capturing beautiful scenery or creating cinematic shots.
It's about the people.
It's about the first look with your dad, hearing your vows again years down the road, and remembering what it felt like to be surrounded by the people who love you most.
Carter and Tiffany's wedding was such a beautiful reminder of that.
We are so thankful they trusted us to capture their day and preserve these memories for years to come.
Congratulations, Carter + Tiffany!
With love,
Ben + Megan
