I was so looking forward to documenting Sammy and James's Missoula Montana Line Ranch wedding since we had had such a fantastic time during their engagement session - and their wedding was everything I expected it would be and more! The joy and fun that permeated their day was simply intoxicating in the best way possible. We started out their day by making images of Sammy getting ready at her parents' house. Once ready to go, Sammy and James had a private first look, and then it was time to start making portraits! We all jumped aboard the bus and made our way downtown to some of Sammy's favorite spots from her time growing up in ...
Kelly + Dustin :: East Glacier Elopement in Glacier National Park
Fittingly, as I write this post, it's pouring rain and storming in Missoula. Montana has had a very wet summer, which Kelly, Dustin and I also experienced firsthand during their East Glacier elopement at Lake Josephine. (Though I can't say I'm complaining - this means we've also had little-to-no wildfires and their subsequent smoke to deal with, so I'm all for some soggy weather that's devoid of lightning strikes.) As soon as we met up at the trailhead the rain began, but they weren't going to let a few (or many) raindrops deter them. So we started out on our hike armed with rain jackets, umbrellas, bear spray and lots of smiles. Soon ...
Melisa + Zack :: Dutton Montana Farm Rock the Dress Portraits
It's no secret that I seriously have a soft spot in my heart for rock the dress sessions because these sessions tend to allow us to get a little more creative with what we can do outside of the wedding day. And when rock the dress sessions include horses, chickens, and dogs (not to mention an awesome bride and groom), then, oh yes, sign me up for the fun! Melisa and Zack's Dutton Montana farm rock the dress portraits were the absolute epitome of aforementioned fun, and I'm pretty certain I did not stop smiling for one second of our time as we made these images together. We met up again on their farm the day after their wedding, and just ...
Melisa + Zack :: Dutton Montana Farm Wedding
I was so excited to see Melisa and Zack again for their Dutton Montana farm wedding since we'd had such a great time making their engagement photos there just about a year prior. Melisa was beaming as she got ready for the day, and Zack was eager to see his bride for their first look. As they both caught a glimpse of each other for the first time, their happiness and grins were so sweet to witness. Not to be outdone, Gyspy (one of their dogs) decided to join in on the fun, too! It wasn't long before it was time for the ceremony to start. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, puffy clouds breaking up the uninterrupted blue, birds flitted ...
Carrie + Dugan :: Fort Missoula Vow Celebration
Carrie and Dugan got married on a whim about two years ago at the courthouse, but they have always wanted to celebrate their vows and marriage with their closest friends and family, so their Fort Missoula vow celebration was a perfect way to bring everyone together to share in the joy and happiness of their marriage, and exchange their vows in front of their loved ones in a meaningful way. And their day couldn't have been more beautiful or more perfectly them! It was warm and sunny and everyone got to enjoy the surrounding mountains as a backdrop to Carrie and Dugan's vows. Before they exchanged their rings, the rings were passed around to ...
Joanna + Taylor :: Winter Wedding at the Jack Saloon in Lolo Montana
I wasn't quite sure we were going to get much snow this winter since things felt a little dry at the end of January. But then February rolled around and we were finally treated to a downright winter wonderland. Even better was that just days before Joanna and Taylor's winter wedding at the Jack Saloon in Lolo Montana we had some storms pass through and leave us with even more snow and loads of natural, beautiful backdrops for Joanna and Taylor's special day. Energy and excitement permeated the air as Joanna and Taylor and their family and friends got ready at the Lolo Hot Springs Lodge. Right before seeing Taylor for the first time during ...
Anna + Jeff :: Missoula Florence Hotel Winter Wedding
Winter weddings definitely make my heart skip a beat. They're just filled with romance, beauty, the twinkling lights and glamor of the season, as well as its warmth, coziness and overall joy. And Anna and Jeff's Missoula Florence Hotel winter wedding certainly embodied all of these things and then some! Their day started out with Anna finalizing her finishing touches in the Wilma condo she had rented. Her mother helped lace her into her beautiful tea-length dress as her family watched with anticipation. Soon it was time to walk over to the Florence Hotel where their ceremony space awaited them, adorned with greenery, white roses, and ...
Breanna + Branden :: Corvallis Montana Bitterroot Barn Wedding
I've been SO excited to photograph Breanna and Branden's Corvallis Montana Bitterroot Barn wedding ever since we first started talking about their wedding day. Especially so, after having the pleasure of capturing their engagement photos for them. Breanna and Branden are the sweetest people, so I knew their wedding would be filled with joy, love and laughter, and lots of personal touches - and oh, was it ever! It was a damp, October day, the trees had just begun to turn golden, and the deep blue backdrop of the Bitterroots contrasted perfectly with the brilliant yellows and oranges in the valley, all wrapped in low-hanging, misty clouds. ...
Courtney + Daniel :: Autumn Triple Creek Ranch Wedding in Darby Montana
Getting to meet Courtney and Daniel for their autumn Triple Creek Ranch wedding in Darby Montana was such a treat, and despite it being a fairly rainy day, these two didn't let it faze them one bit. They just smiled and laughed and said it added to the charm of their day, and I couldn't agree more! Because it was raining, they chose to get married on a balcony overlooking the valley - and it was such a perfect ceremony. Courtney and Daniel had so much love in their eyes for one another, and were happier than happy after they got to seal it all with a kiss. Courtney and Daniel both grew up on opposite coasts, but met online about four ...
Kirk + Erinne :: Trask River Wedding in Tillamook Oregon
Things I learned at my brother's wedding: 1) It's incredibly difficult to photograph when you have tears streaming down your face and you cannot see through your viewfinder. 2) It's incredibly difficult to edit said photos when you have tears streaming down your face and you cannot see your computer screen. And 3) It is incredibly difficult to write a blog post about said wedding when you have tears streaming down your face as you are attempting to type coherent sentences. Suffice it to say, the emotions were REAL and raw and beautiful at Kirk and Erinne's Trask River wedding in Tillamook Oregon. And it was an awesome weekend for the two of ...
