I had the pleasure of photographing Laura and Melinda’s summertime couple’s session just a few days before their wedding date at Holland Lake Lodge. I was so eager to meet them after having chatted with them back and forth for a while talking about their wedding day plans, and we really couldn’t have been treated to a more gorgeous day for their more causal images prior to their wedding day celebration.

Melinda, especially, was super happy to be back in Montana and creating photos here, since she had spent quite a bit of time in Hamilton when she worked there previously. Montana treated the two of them to the most splendid of summer days – the sun just glowed, it wasn’t too hot or too cold, and Laura and Melinda shared smiles with one another that, I swear, easily rivaled the sun’s brightness.

We had a great time walking, talking and laughing together, and at the end of our session, Laura and Melinda even braved some slippery walks to wade into the river and treat themselves to some water images in that gorgeous evening light, and really rock the end of their session.

Laura and Melinda! Thank you again for such a wonderful session – I love seeing how much you two love one another, and I can’t wait to share more images from your wedding day soon, too! Here’s to you two, your joy, and being so totally fun to work with! Yay!

On the Docket:

Weddings, elopements and portraits! Stay posted!

Cheers,

I was so excited to photograph Jackson and Logan’s engagement pictures in Missoula Montana because I knew we’d have such a great time making images together. I actually initially “virtually met” Jackson through Instagram where we connected via my little bird, Flash, who has a tendency to be featured in some of my posts on the platform. (At one time Jackson had a bird as well.) So when Jackson asked me if I’d be interested in talking more with him and Logan about photographing their wedding, I was so excited to get to meet them in person! (Turns out they’d been guests at Christine and Pete’s wedding that I photographed in 2014.) As I suspected, Jackson and Logan are just so sweet and so in love, and it’s no surprise that it was such a blast to photograph their engagement session. (There was lots and lots of laughter involved!) I also adored that they brought their dog, Dexter, with them to their session, too. (He’s a total sweetheart!)

We had such a nice time wandering through the grassy fields, chatting, and watching Dexter have a blast (and I loved seeing Jackson and Logan crack up at his antics, too).

If this fun session was a precursor to their wedding day (which I’m sure it was), then I am just beyond excited to photograph their nuptials in 2017.

Jackson and Logan! What an awesome session with you two (and Dexter!) – it’s such a treat to see how much you two love one another and I cannot wait for June to roll around! Your wedding day is going to be fantastic and I can’t wait to document such a special day in your lives for you! Here’s to you two!

On the docket: weddings and portraits and even more weddings and portraits galore! Stay tuned!

Cheers,
