Ali is one of my dear friends, and we've known each other since we were 6 and 7 respectively. It's become a bit of a tradition for me to make photos of her (she was a muse of mine back when I was in college shooting film and developing images in the darkroom - she and I attended different colleges across a river from one another!). And, I think, for going on 10 or 11 years now, she's made a trek out to visit me in Montana every summer. This summer she got married in the midwest, but I wasn't able to go to her wedding since I was already slated to shoot one here in Missoula. BUT...ButButBut...I told her to bring her dress out here during her ...
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 ...
Amber + Woody :: Ronan Montana Wedding at the Silver Knot
I swear, it feels like just yesterday that I was hanging out with Amber and Woody and making their engagement photos. And then bam! before you know it, July's here and these two are looking super spiffy and having their Ronan Montana wedding at the Silver Knot! It's sometimes difficult to believe just how quickly time flies, but that's no surprise with these two as time truly does fly when you're having fun. And we sure did have fun during their wedding day! It all started out with documenting the ladies and gents getting ready. Amber held her vows close by, and Woody and the guys shared some good laughs as they pondered the intricacies of ...
Brandon + Natalie :: Ronan Montana Sky Ridge Ranch Wedding
Brandon and Natalie had one heckuva happy wedding day for their Ronan Montana Sky Ridge Ranch wedding. Even though it was nearing (if not actually) 100 degrees, these two just went with it and had an absolute blast during their wedding day. The afternoon started out with prepping for the big walk down the aisle. The girls got ready at a VRBO in St. Ignatius, and there were all sorts of laughs, hugs and a few tears as Natalie got ready to head to the ranch. Brandon and the guys prepped themselves for the day at the ranch, laughing and joking as they pinned boutonnieres on one another in between shots of Fireball enthusiastically passed ...
Tim, Courtney, Teddy, Violet, Bill and Lorie :: Flathead Lake Family Portraits in Polson Montana
I'm just going to come right out with it - I absolutely, unequivocally adored Tim, Courtney, Teddy, Violet, Bill and Lorie's Flathead Lake family portraits in Polson Montana. Not only are they such a sweet family, but they were willing to just have fun, play with their kiddos and let their kids be kids with them. That to me is the definition of a perfect family session. No rigid line-ups in front of the camera. No constant adjustments of clothing. No commands to force smiles. Instead we goofed around on their slide, we picked cherries (and three-almost-four-year-old Teddy insisted I have one too and was kind enough to remind me to "spit ...
Camryn :: Senior Pictures in Missoula MT
We had ourselves one heckuva hot day for Camryn's senior pictures in Missoula MT the other day (she's a class of 2018 senior at Hellgate High School), but you would have never known it from Camryn's happy, bubbly attitude during our session. We joked that it wouldn't be a senior session without some kind of weather drama (since a couple years earlier I had done Camryn's older sister Emilee's photos and we'd been surprised by a rainstorm during her session!). So 90-something weather was just par for the course for us. :) We had such a blast poking around some cool areas at the University of Montana campus (where Camryn is planning on ...
Ethan + Emily :: Flying Horse Ranch Wedding in Corvallis Montana
Last year Ethan and Emily, both from Iowa, decided to take a vacation with Yellowstone being one of their stops. They loved their time in Montana so much that, fast forward to their wedding day, lo and behold they decided to have their Flying Horse Ranch wedding in Corvallis, Montana. And I'm so glad they did because what a wonderful day it was. Their day started off with a super sweet first look between the two. Ethan was so excited to see Emily and the look on his face as he first turned around to behold his beautiful bride was so special. We continued having fun making photos of just the two of them before moving on to more of the ...
Rachel + Mark :: Daly Mansion Wedding in Hamilton Montana
I swear it feels like just yesterday that I was photographing Rachel and Mark's sweet engagement session at the end of August...but time certainly flies when you're having fun! Fast forward a few months to the end of June of this year and Rachel and Mark were ready to say their "I do's" at their Daly Mansion Wedding in Hamilton Montana. The day started off with the guys and gals getting ready in a beautiful rental house in Hamilton before everyone reconvened at the mansion to begin the ceremony. Rachel and Mark chose to say their vows at the base of the grand staircase on the west lawn of the mansion, and Rachel got to make her grand ...
Brandon + Natalie :: St Ignatius Montana Engagement Photos
I had the pleasure of meeting up with Brandon and Natalie the other evening for their St Ignatius Montana engagement photos. They had just gotten in to Montana the day before (they live in Florida), and I was so eager to meet them in person as we'd only spoken by phone prior to our session and while discussing their wedding plans. As I knew we would, we all had a blast making images for them that evening. Brandon and Natalie are truly, madly in love, and it was so sweet to watch them together, full of deep affection and smiles and gentle touches and plenty of laughter too. We wandered amongst the trees, finding perfect pockets of evening ...
Jessica + Ryan :: Alta Ranch Wedding in Darby Montana
Springtime weddings in Montana mean you never know what you're going to get weather-wise. You might find yourself experiencing rain, snow, sleet, hail, chilly temperatures, or warm sunlight. And wouldn't you know it, Jessica and Ryan's Alta Ranch wedding in Darby Montana gave us a little bit of all of those things! As both Jessica and Ryan got ready for their ceremony, folks kept checking the sky to see what it was up to. Sun gave way to clouds, but despite that, we hoped that the rain would hold off. Soon ceremony time was just around the corner, and everyone began to make their way down the hill and towards the creek - all with umbrellas ...
