Nestled in the heart of the Lamar Valley, Michelle and Robert hold hands during their outdoor wedding ceremony in Yellowstone National Park.

In the midst of their cross-country move from the East Coast to the West Coast, Michelle and Robert decided to elope in the wilds of Yellowstone National Park. The vast, natural setting was the perfect complement to their adventurous style, and it symbolized their future together — one that is filled with endless possibilities.
