When Brooke contacted me to do her senior photos, I was so stoked!  I know her from when she was an 8th grader and she went on a trip to Washington, D.C. with my dad’s company Global Travel Alliance.  Roy and I were both on that trip doing some guiding and photography and we got to know Brooke a little bit! Time really flies, because now she is about to conquer high school!  We did her pictures right near summer solstice, so we had do get up super early (like 5am!) to get the good light.  Thanks Brooke for being up for anything.  It was a blast hitting the hills of Bozeman with you and fancying up a little bit downtown. Enjoy your photos!

We began our busy wedding season with Kassie and Ty and it couldn’t have started on a better note! These two were married last month at Chancey’s in Huntley, Montana.  We met Kassie and her wonderful mom at the Yellowstone Art Museum Bridal Fair two years ago and we hit it off with them right away. Kassie and Ty were married on a very special date, May 24th, 2015, their 8 year anniversary!   We had a little rain to deal with, but it was cooperative enough to have the ceremony outside as well as most of the photos. In fact, the sun started shining right before Kassie walked down the aisle.  So many friends and family were there to support them.  Most of them have been there throughout their entire relationship, which I thought was pretty special!

These two are heading out to St. Louis next month so Ty can attend chiropractic school.  I think it’s so neat when couples start off marriage with a big adventure!  Ty and Kassie, you two are going to do so well out there!  Thank you so much for being so welcoming to Roy and I. We are so grateful you picked us to be your Billings Montana Wedding Photographers.  We can’t wait to see you back in Montana sometime! :)

We photographed this wedding last month in Whitefish, Montana and it was absolutely beautiful!  It was one of those weddings where anyone involved is thinking to themselves, “Is this even real?!”  That is because the wedding ceremony took place on a frozen lake!  The couple is from the San Francisco area, but they have a deep passion for the Montana winters and snowboarding. The groom (Alex) had visited Whitefish a few times prior and knew that he wanted to get married there someday.  He didn’t have to convince his bride, she was on board right away!  They were married on Whitefish Lake with Whitefish Mountain Resort as the backdrop.  They lived up the winter theme to the max!  The guests were greeted with blankets and warm cocktails as they arrived to the ceremony location.  It was the perfect afternoon, a balmy 35 degrees.  I don’t think the bride could have asked for more.

When Jaime and Alex contacted me, told me more about their wedding day, and asked me to be their Montana destination wedding photographer, I was especially excited!  Winter weddings are always up there among my favorites.  Come on Montana brides, get married in the winter time!  Maybe this wedding will help convince you. ;)

A special thanks to Tanya from Tanya Gersh Events and to Kim and Rae from Twig & Gather.  It was an honor to photograph your creations and work alongside top tier professionals like you.

Don’t these photos just make you want to go find a little cozy cabin like this one and live in it forever?!  If it wouldn’t have been so cold outside, I think we definitely would have hung out on the front porch of this cabin all evening long at least!

This set of images is part two of the styled shoot we did in Whitefish, Montana. You can see part one here. The gown in these photos is from the designer Claire La Faye and I think it was strikingly beautiful in this rustic winter setting!  The details of the dress blew me away. And what about that antler headpiece with the matching boutonniere?!  It was so much fun to have creative and unique pieces to work with.  Mum’s Flowers is just so so good!

I am so thankful for this wonderful team of vendors we got to work with!

This shoot felt like a dream!  When we were asked to be the Montana Wedding Photographers for this winter shoot, we knew we were in for a very pretty afternoon!  It was 100% Montana.  We wanted to show off our home state in the way we knew best- in the mountains by a cozy cabin!  We did a couple different looks for this shoot and I will be sharing part 2 with you next week!

I love the color palette Mum’s Flowers and Goldfinch Events chose when putting together all the elements of this shoot.  You don’t often see bold colors and patterns like these anymore, but I think the blues, greens and reds worked out amazing for the setting we were in!  The poofy Tara Keely gown seals the deal with the flannel worn over the top of the dress.  It’s a little more casual and fun, but still super girly!

Thank you to a talented team of vendors who made this possible!
