Jake and Shantel… what can I say about you two?! Meeting you guys and taking your photos all in one night was surely my pleasure!  We went from location to location and got so much in- started downtown and ended up on the Rims.  We had a perfect evening… great weather, super cute outfits, red wine, a Ford truck, and even a little leap frog. :)   You guys were amazing to work with- I had so much fun.  I can’t wait for the wedding in December!

Brian’s from Texas, Bridget’s from Montana.. and they met in Boise at school, where they currently live.  Bridget’s parents live in Colorado, and Brian’s parents live in Texas, so having the wedding in Billings was sort of a destination wedding for all!  It was a beautiful afternoon wedding- the ceremony was held at the church Bridget grew up in, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, and the reception was out at the Bighorn Resort.  Thank you for having me capture your big day Bridget and Brian- enjoy the handful of images!

Last week I was blessed with an amazing Costa Rica adventure with my husband, Roy! It was a business (Global Travel Alliance) trip for him , so we had a handful of his clients that traveled with us as well. What a fun group!  These images are from the pineapple fields (pineapples that get shipped straight to Costco!) and from a small school we visited/played soccer with- and yes, the Costa Ricans beat us! :)  This is just a small part of our trip, but definitely some of my favorite images came from these two stops.  All images © brooke peterson photography

Introducing….. Katie McKay.  She is so dang cute, isn’t she?!  We had a super fun time this past Monday night going from downtown Missoula, to the Big Sky track and ending our night at a mosquito-infested barn. :)  I loved getting to know you, Katie!

Doug and Amy planned a destination wedding in one of their favorite places, Glacier National Park. They both hail from New York City, and they played up the Montana theme throughout their wedding so guests could get a good taste of this area of the country.  Most have never been to Montana, so it was quite an experience for all!   The ceremony was at the Lake McDonald Lodge and the reception was at the Belton Chalet, both near the West Glacier entrance and both super beautiful venues! Thank you Doug and Amy, this was for sure a highlight to my summer!
