Merging histories, cultures, and their love story, Leah and K brought their friends and family from across the US and the world to their their Billings Historic Depot wedding in Billings, Montana. It was a beautiful October day (and unexpectedly warm for October, too!). The trees outside the depot were just starting to sport the changing colors of the season, and it truly couldn't have been a more perfect day for Leah and K to vow their love to one another. Their journey began in college at Yale, where they shared an internship at the Yale Art Gallery. Fast forward a few years to their wedding, and they had the most amazing blend of ...
Matthew + Andrew :: Woodson Ranch Wedding in Sheridan Montana
After a couple years of planning and several delays (you know, because pandemic times), I was beyond delighted to document Matthew and Andrew's Woodson Ranch Wedding in Sheridan Montana. Not only is the ranch absolutely gorgeous, it's also incredibly special to Matthew and his family. His grandfather purchased the ranch when he was born and his family has been running it ever since as part of the Ruby Habitat Foundation (which is super cool — check it out!). Matthew spent three summers working on the ranch, as well as many summers visiting it. After having met Andrew, they would visit the ranch often. And, in fact, they even got engaged ...
Laura + Melinda :: Holland Lake Lodge Wedding
As seems to be the theme of this year in Montana, it was a little bit of a rainy day for Laura and Melinda's Holland Lake Lodge wedding. However, Mother Nature played nicely with us and decided to treat us to some sun just as the ceremony was about to start, much to everyone's excitement! Despite a few rain showers here and there, it really couldn't have been a more gorgeous day for Laura and Melinda to celebrate their love for one another. Everyone in attendance sported giant smiles (and a few tears, too) as Laura and Melinda shared their vows, promises, laughter and love with one another, cloud-encircled mountains in the ...
Jackson + Logan :: Kimberley Alpine Resort Wedding in British Columbia Canada
If I had to use only one word to describe Jackson and Logan's Kimberley Alpine Resort Wedding in British Columbia Canada, I'd be hard-pressed to find the best superlative. Why? Because their wedding day was worthy of every superlative out there. Seriously. I'm a pretty darn happy person in general, but man - my cheeks were literally sore from smiling so much. (A friend of theirs pointed this out to me too!) The day started out with Jackson and Logan's friends and family heading up Northstar Mountain via chairlift (a seriously stylish way to travel, I tell you; and I was gripping my cameras as tightly as I possibly could!). The day before ...
Jackson + Logan :: Engagement Pictures in Missoula Montana
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 ...
Hannah + Laura :: Missoula Montana Ranch Club Wedding
Autumn weddings are my absolute favorite, and Hannah and Laura's Missoula Montana Ranch Club Wedding was no exception to this. The sun was shining, the blue sky was filled with beautiful, textural clouds, and these ladies were bursting with happiness and beyond excited to get married (their megawatt smiles *might* have given them away a little). That's pure perfection in my book. Before their ceremony they had a super sweet first look - (see above comment about megawatt smiles). We had a great time making some portraits, and then it was time to hide them both away for their big reveal. Family and friends smiled and teared up as Hannah ...
