{Real Wedding} Missoula Indie & DIY Affair, Part II

This is just one of those weddings that can't be edited down into just 10-15 images. It has so many details, that I couldn't bear keeping y'all from its complete DIY awesomeness.

If you missed Part I yesterday, this wedding by Jacilyn M Photography took place in Missoula for a $6000 budget. (And if you missed Part I, you really should go check it out.)

From the bride:
We had been admiring "1000 paper cranes" weddings and thought that folding the cranes would be a good challenge. If we couldn't fold 1000, we probably shouldn't be committing to a lifetime. So for 10 months, we folded 100 paper cranes [each month] until we had 1000. We used old magazines so each crane was very unique.






From the bride:
Patrick is a graphic designer, so he designed our announcements, invitations, programs, and other graphics we used. It was a great way for him to contribute to our wedding in a way that didn't seem to bore him too much!



From the bride:
Pat and I paid for our wedding by each contributing $250 each month to a joint savings account ($500 total per month) for 12 months. It was very rewarding! We also had support from friends and family.
