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 ...
Abby + Austin :: McDonald Lake Elopement in St Ignatius Montana
I'm a total believer in serendipity. And the fact that I got to work with Abby and Austin at their McDonald Lake Elopement in St Ignatius Montana is a testament to the fact that serendipity is a real, true, AWESOME thing! When Abby first contacted me about being their photographer, her message to me was amazing, full of warmth and excitement, and had the greatest story to tell me. When she and Austin were visiting their friend Tyler in Missoula in the fall of 2016, on their very last day, they zipped up to Glacier. As they were making their way through the park, they saw a couple who had just gotten married, and leaned out their car window ...
Ashley + Wayne :: Elopement in Glacier National Park
I'm pretty sure I've got the best job in the world. When Ashley contacted me way back when about photographing her and Wayne's elopement in Glacier National Park, I swear, we were just giddy and happy and giggling on the phone to one another the entire call. So I knew we'd have such a wonderful time making images together on their wedding day. She and Wayne, their dog, Noose, and her sister and her sister's husband all made the trek out to Montana together to check out Glacier for the first time, and to get hitched while they were out here. Not only did they get to say their "I Do's" in Montana, they also got to celebrate Ashley's ...
Susan + Randy :: Intimate Triple Creek Ranch Wedding in Darby Montana
Susan was so much fun to talk to over the phone when she contacted me about photographing her intimate Triple Creek Ranch Wedding in Darby Montana to her fiancé, Randy. She was bubbly, excited, and eager to get married in Montana! (She and Randy are from Tennessee and live at the base of the Smoky Mountains there.) So it didn't surprise me one bit when, upon meeting the two of them, we hit it off immediately and had such a great time photographing their nuptials. Prior to their ceremony I photographed both Susan and Randy separately around the ranch to take in the vistas, the gorgeous forested areas around the property, and of course, the ...
Leah + Rob :: Elopement in Glacier National Park
I have a soft spot in my heart for intimate weddings and elopements, and Leah and Rob's elopement in Glacier National Park was no exception. Rob has been visiting Montana for years, but last year he took Leah out to Glacier for the first time (they live in Massachusetts), and she absolutely fell in love with it - hence their (excellent) decision to get married in Montana! We were treated to a spectacular, sunny day in the park, which was particularly nice for Leah. When she had originally visited Glacier it was pretty socked in with cloud cover and mist, so Leah was literally seeing a lot of the park again for the first time! The two held ...
Katherine Ann + David :: Elopement at Triple Creek Ranch in Darby Montana
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I ADORE. AdoreAdoreAdore elopements. And I absolutely loved everything about Katherine Ann and David's elopement at Triple Creek Ranch in Darby Montana. They came to the ranch by way of Colorado, and were treated to some of Montana's finest fall colors for their special day. We started out the day by photographing Katherine Ann as she was getting ready, and once all the buttons were buttoned and the shoes were fastened, we headed down the road to surprise David, who was ever-so-patiently waiting to see his beautiful bride for the first time. There was laughter, there were tears, there were hugs. ...
Dora + Elliot :: Elopement in Montana at Glacier National Park
Ahhh, Glacier. I simply adore how this magical place holds such meaning for so many people, two of those people being Dora and Elliot who had their elopement in Montana at Glacier National Park. They held their short and wonderfully sweet ceremony on the shores of Lake McDonald, beamed at one another as they spoke their vows, exchanged rings and sealed it all with a kiss as gentle waves delicately lapped at the shoreline. To celebrate their newly-married status, we had a great time touring a section of the park, all the while making photos in some of the jaw-dropping locations that make Glacier an absolute sight to behold. Even more ...
Kristina + Ben :: Darby Montana Elopement at the Triple Creek Ranch
Upon first chatting with Kristina and Ben about their upcoming Darby Montana elopement at the Triple Creek Ranch, I knew that we'd have such a fabulous time making images for the two of them. They love the outdoors, are beyond sweet, and were really excited about visiting Montana for the first time. It also didn't hurt that Kristina's a fellow redhead, and we even share the same initials! I tell you, Meant. To. Be! (And as Kristina would say, "Kismet!") The day of their elopement arrived, and I think we were all a little nervous about how the weather would behave (or misbehave). It had been raining for days and days (which, in Montana, you ...
