Bozeman Engagement Photography – Sammi & Jeremy Engaged!

My best friend is engaged!  Sammi got engaged to a man who simply adores her.  How could he not? She is adorable!  These two drove over from Missoula, Montana for their Bozeman engagement photography shoot this month.  Sammi’s dream was to ice skate during her shoot- so we made that happen, along with strolling around downtown.

I won’t be photographing their wedding day (I’m a bridesmaid!), so it was an honor to be asked to shoot their engagement session in Bozeman for them.  I met my dearest Sammi back in Oregon at our freshman year in college.  In fact, we met the very first day of school because she lived right across the hall from me! About three quarters into our freshman year, I decided I was going to transfer to the University of Montana and yep, convinced Sammi to do the same.  Skip forward several years and now she is marrying a Montana boy.  I am one happy friend!

Sammi is a gem and so is Jeremy.  And together, they sparkle! Don’t you think? :)

Top Montana Wedding Photographers 2015 Year in Review

We are just about to ring in 2016 (wiggity whaaaaat?!), so let’s take a look back at a handful of our 2015 weddings.  Without a doubt, our hearts are full to the very brim (maybe even spilling over a little bit) with all the memories we have with couples and families who welcomed us so warmly on wedding days.  All the people we get to meet and stories we get to share is why we love what we do.  We consider it a great honor and cherish our memories with you all!

It’s been one year since we’ve settled in Bozeman, Montana and we are confident saying that we are here to stay- and geez, that feels good!  Although we are grateful for living in 5 places in 6 years (yikes!) and for all of our memories in those cities, it feels pretty awesome to call this place home.  As Montana wedding photographers, we ended up in several Montana towns- Bigfork, Billings, Whitefish, Livingston, and Big Sky, amongst others. Good thing we live in such a beautiful state!  It’s not too bad to zig-zag across it during wedding season. :)

We have a great lineup of weddings in 2016 already!  We do still have a few dates available, so be sure to get in contact with us if you are getting married in 2016 and want us to be your Montana wedding photographers! Enjoy this look back at some of our top wedding picks and we will see you in the new year.

Bozeman Family Photographer – The Scott’s

Wouldn’t everyone agree that fall in Bozeman, Montana was absolutely gorgeous this year?!  We got the perfect balance of cold days and warm days.  When it was brisk out we would cozy up with some hot soup and get excited about skiing and on warm days we would pretend it was still summer with flip flops and bike rides. Cheers to fall in Montana (with your choice of a pumpkin spice latte, red wine, black coffee or a mug of chili)!

Julie and Jon had just celebrated their one year wedding anniversary and they asked me to capture some photos of them during this season of their life.  It was so fun getting to know these two and being their local Bozeman family photographer.  This time of year is so much fun for us, as we transition out of weddings and into portrait sessions to make some keepsake family photos for Christmas cards!  I will be sharing some more sessions soon. Enjoy Julie and Jon’s family portrait session in Bozeman!

Bigfork Montana Wedding Photographers – Jack & Erin 9.5.15

This wedding is one of the most memorable weddings we have ever photographed!  Why was it so memorable, you ask?  It’s a combination of two reasons. Reason #1-  It poured rain the ENTIRE day.  It felt like we traded the beautiful fall Montana weather for a coastal tropical storm. Reason #2- I didn’t hear the bride say a peep about the weather.  She didn’t complain once and had the most graceful and thankful attitude.  As far as photos go, sometimes rain can be a huge obstacle.  It was; however, Jack and Erin’s positive, up-for-anything attitude was super helpful for us to create beautiful imagery despite the weather! They were just happy to be in each other’s arms, giving God the glory all the way through.

The ceremony and reception were inside at the gorgeous Kootenai Lodge on the north end of Swan Lake in Bigfork, Montana.  It was a perfect venue for a rainy wedding day- a cozy Montana lodge.  You can bet the fire was ablaze all day long!  It was a black tie affair and Erin & Jack’s wedding guests were definitely dressed to the nines.  It’s not often that us Montanan’s get so dressed up, but Erin & Jack’s guests proved that we know how to. :)

Thank you to Courtney of 114-West who was tremendous in helping us and everyone the entire day.  Our hearts will be forever thankful to Erin and Jack’s family and friends who gave us such a warm welcome from the moment we arrived.  Congratulations you two- enjoy your wedding photos!

Bozeman Engagement Photographers – Rachel & Zach Engaged!

This family is the cutest!  Rachel and Zach are getting married next summer and we couldn’t be more excited to play a role in their big day!  They are getting married at one of the prettiest hidden lakes in Montana, but we are going to keep it a secret for now. ;)  For their engagement session we headed to Bridger Bowl Ski Area and enjoyed hiking around the ski runs in the fall season.  We can’t wait to hit the slopes at Bridger Bowl with these three this winter and swing by Burger Bob’s for a greasy cheeseburger after!

Isn’t this fall season just the best? Lattes, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, crunchy leaves- we just love being Bozeman Engagement Photographers!
