Glacier National Park is a magnificent place to be wed! That's why Elaine and Mark chose it, and also because they love outdoor adventure and travel. The natural beauty of the place was the source of inspiration, and the couple decided not to worry about adding details beyond that, and to rely on the general spectacle of being there all together.
