Kori gives her groom a knowing smile during their outdoor wedding ceremony at Alpine Falls Ranch in Superior, Montana.

After spending more than a decade enjoying life as a carefree couple, Kori and Jonah knew that they did not have to have a long engagement. Rather than extending the planning process and creating a grand, lavish event, they opted for an all-inclusive experience that felt effortless for both them and their guests. Their dreams came together in a larger-than-life way at the Alpine Falls Ranch in Superior, Montana. The wedding — which was both carefree and intimate — was an experience that they enjoyed in tandem with their guests, and as a result, everyone left feeling as if they were truly part of their union.
