Lush florals, thoughtful details, and a beautiful, tucked-away Whitefish property, created the perfect setting for Isabel and Dmitri's intimate day. Photography by Courtney Folkman Photography.

"Shortly after meeting in 2018, I moved to Nashville to begin working as a nurse while Dmitri was in his second year of medical school in Memphis. We quickly learned that our relationship was special and distance was not an issue. Our relationship grew during these years, and we enjoyed many fun trips and time spent with friends and family in Nashville.

In 2021, Dmitri moved to Little Rock to begin residency, and I started school in Memphis. We settled in our new house in Little Rock and enjoyed exploring our new city. He proposed on an island in San Blas, while sailing in March 2022. We spent the week sailing, and he found a beautiful small island to pop the question!"

Wedding Day

"One of our favorite things to do together is travel and explore new places, and we also love being outdoors and going on adventures. We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our marriage than in a beautiful location like Montana, which allowed us to share an adventure with our closest friends and family. We rented a large property just outside of Whitefish with three cabins and a beautiful meadow with a pond. This is where we had our rehearsal dinner as well as the wedding and reception. Our friends and family were able to stay on the property with us, which was a lot of fun. We enjoyed the day before our wedding in Glacier Park with a private boat tour of Lake McDonald.

On our wedding day, my bridesmaids and I got ready in the main house, while Dmitri and the groomsmen played pool in one of the cabins. Our ceremony was outdoors and the reception was under a tent at the same property. This allowed for a quick transition and a fun night of celebrating! All of our vendors went above and beyond to make our wedding a dream. We are so happy with our decision to have our wedding in Montana!" – Isabel, the bride
