Combine friends and family from Canada and Australia, add in a gorgeous Montana day on the lake, and you've got yourself a recipe for one beautiful, fun wedding. As the ceremony started, guests eagerly looked on as Jen and Chris gazed into one another's eyes and said their "I do's," so sweet and sincere and full of love. They kissed for the first time as newlyweds and walked down the lavender-strewn aisle, bubbles greeting them as they smiled at their loved ones. Jen and Chris wanted to make the most of being on Flathead Lake, so we all hopped into their limo and took it for a spin to some beautifully scenic spots to make some photos of ...
Bare Feet and Sunset Kisses :: {Sarah and Jordan’s Flying Horse Ranch Wedding}
Happy couples are my favorite, and Jordan and Sarah were no exception. It was a perfectly beautiful day for their wedding and part of what made it so beautiful was their visible happiness and easygoing nature throughout their wedding day. And even though there were tears too, they were happy tears. Tears of a father proud of and happy for his daughter. Tears of a bride moved by her husband's vows to her and her vows to him. Tears while listening to the most moving of toasts from siblings and friends. And, of course, lots and lots of laughter to accompany the events of the day as well. As their wedding day progressed, the brilliant blue ...
Love and Laughter :: {Abby and Jeff’s Missoula, Montana Wedding}
When you get to work with a couple whose engagement request includes being photographed with mini donkeys...you just KNOW their wedding day is going to be equally as awesome. And it totally was. Abby and Jeff had such a gorgeous wedding. The day couldn't have been more perfect - blue skies, fluffy clouds, sweet light, and heckuva lot of smiles, laughter and love. These two had some of the most hilarious and sweet wedding vows I've heard, which had everyone in stitches. And that was the theme of the day - pure happiness and joy, surrounded by friends and family (many of whom traveled all the way from Chile to join the festivities!) We ...
Stunning in Sequins :: {Lynnae’s Missoula Portrait Session}
My brain is always on overdrive, thinking of new things I'd like to try in my photography, so it was such a treat to meet Lynnae, who answered my model call to help me out with said new idea. (And if you'd like to hear when I have these model calls, hop on over to my Facebook page and become a liker to stay in the know. You don't even have to be a model, per se - I prefer to work with people without modeling experience, and we have a grand ol' time!) It was a ridiculously hot evening, but she definitely kept her cool and we had a blast as she had fun in front of the camera and indulged my whims. The light was seriously scrumptious and ...
Raindrops and Sunsets :: {Ashley and Adam’s Sky Ridge Ranch Wedding}
It may have been a bit of a rainy day for Ashley and Adam's wedding, but I think it only added to the natural beauty of the setting and of their truly heartfelt ceremony. I'm pretty sure everybody felt more in touch with all that makes Montana wonderful as the mountains peeked out amidst the clouds, as the raindrops fell on our shoulders and as we all soaked in and appreciated the notion of place and the people with whom we share it. Adam stood before friends and family and watched as his daughter, Iris, in a sweet, layered dress, made her grand entrance in a little red wagon, and not long after, her mother, Ashley, followed walking ...
Married amongst the Mission Mountains :: {Mariah and Erryn’s Sky Ridge Ranch Montana Wedding}
When you plan your wedding in Montana, there's always a risk that mountain views might be obscured by wildfire smoke. Unbelievably, this year, we really haven't had to deal with smoke all that much from our own fires...but smoke doesn't obey state lines, and it drifted over from Canada, Washington and Oregon and planted itself right in front of the beautiful Mission Mountains - and on Mariah and Erryn's wedding day. It's a part of life here, so everyone took it in stride, but we all were secretly wishing and hoping it would dissipate, especially since Erryn's family came all the way from Chicago, and we all wanted them to see just how amazing ...
Laughter and Milkshakes :: {Jessica, Robert and Rae’s Missoula Portraits}
When Jessica called me up to talk about setting up a time to make some images with her grandmother, Rae, while she and her boyfriend (now fiancé! congrats!!!), Robert, were in town I was pretty excited. Jessica has good memories of visiting Missoula and her grandmother, so this kind of session was just perfect. We wandered around downtown as Rae shared the history of some of the buildings with us, and we stopped off for a milkshake and italian cream soda and had the absolute pleasure of listening to some of Rae's amazing and hilarious stories. (She's got 92 years worth of stories to tell!) She had us all in stitches, and I swear, I ...
Converse Kicks and Prom Dress Prettiness :: Miranda’s Missoula Senior Portraits
When Miranda and I met up for her senior photos and she showed me her pair of zebra-striped converse sneakers, I was beyond excited. We'd already gotten together before this, and she had told me she loves playing with color and being creative, and, not only that, she also digs photography and plans to attend RMSP after graduation from Big Sky High School. So...kindred spirits we definitely are, and our session only became more awesome after her sweet shoe-reveal. What all did our session entail? These are just a few things... Color? Heck yes. Sweet light? You better believe it. Twirly prom dresses? Oh yeah. Bare feet? Sure thing! Jean ...
Running through the Woods :: {Kristeen and Colt’s Rock the Dress Session}
Oh, how I adore rock the dress sessions! They are just so much fun - relaxed, beautiful, playful, creative, and most importantly they take place outside of the wedding day timeline to allow more flexibility with image-making. Don't get me wrong, I love making photos during wedding days too, and Kristeen and Colt's day was certainly no exception, but there's something just so special about doing these types of portraits without time constraints, and simply allowing yourself to go with the flow of the day and just follow the light and let it do its thing. So that's what we did. It happened to be a very smoky day since wildfires in Canada, ...
A Montana Kind of Love :: {Kristeen and Colt’s Sky Ridge Ranch Wedding}
I'm always a little blown away by how quickly time flies when I'm having fun - one day I'm photographing Kristeen and Colt's engagement session in February at Sky Ridge Ranch and we've got snow up to our knees, and the next, I'm marveling at the gorgeous summer vistas the ranch provided Kristeen and Colt on their wedding day. It truly was an absolutely beautiful day for these two to be married. The skies were blue, the lemonade was refreshing, and the love was tangible. As Kristeen walked down the aisle with her father, Colt visibly became choked up as he saw his radiant bride smiling at him. There was so much emotion in their sweet ...
