Lauren of Lauren Caselli Events describes Boss Lady Bash as “A community located in the Mountain West for creative female entrepreneurs looking to make solid business friendships, create a community of collaboration, and build a business that takes less time and makes more money.”  I was an attendee at the first Boss Lady Bash event held last Spring in Bozeman, Montana and I loved every second of it! This time around Lauren asked if I would photograph the evening at the awe-inspiring Bash Bozeman.  With sweet treats from Whipped and satisfying snacks from Sadie’s Catering, us ladies mingled, networked and shared the ups and downs of running a small business.

Lauren Caselli Events holds events every few months all over Montana and the Mountain West.  If you are a small business owner who gets tired once in awhile (isn’t that all of us?!), trust me, you want to get involved! Not only is this chicka inspiring, but all the other boss ladies you will meet are too!  Read more about the Boss Lady Bash events here.

We felt honored to be Red Lodge Montana wedding photographers for Cammie and Braden this summer at Wildflower Weddings.  These two are the best.  You could see it in their eyes as we photographed through the rain and the shine.  Braden truly adores Cammie and Cammie loves her Braden sooooo much!

Braden and Cammie chose to do a first look.  Right before Cammie came out to find her groom the weather became overcast and rainy!  Cammie was 100% up for it anyway and used our trusty clear umbrella for her walk to Braden.  They turned out to be some of our favorite pictures of the season.  Seeing them snuggled together under the umbrella was warming to our hearts and our chilled feet!  We also had a chance to snap a couple shots under the beverage bar building through the rain.  As wedding photographers, we love when weather changes from rain, to shine, to snow (sometimes). :) Well it is Montana and it is so much fun to photograph the constant changes!

Thanks Cammie and Braden for welcoming us with the warmest hearts to your wedding and letting us document your story.  Enjoy!

We had the best time being Montana wedding photographers in Coeur d’Alene, ID for Courtney and David’s beautiful mountain wedding. It was such an honor when Courtney approached us last year about photographing her destination wedding in Idaho.  We were anticipating this one for a long time… to see Courtney as a bride was going to be breathtaking!  And it was. :) Courtney is not the typical bride- she is the girl other brides go to for all their wedding day help and ideas. It made us all so excited to see what she would come up with for her own wedding!  She runs an amazing style blog, manages a beautiful Montana bridal boutique, coaches high school volleyball, and is constantly dreaming up fun events and get-togethers for everyone to enjoy. As you look through the wedding day pictures below you will see her talents conveyed through all the images!

Photographing Courtney and David’s engagement session in Glacier National Park last winter made us really excited for their wedding day in Coeur d’Alene.  Courtney and David’s faith-based ceremony was absolutely beautiful- it started with her dad praying over them and ended with every guest getting the chance to partake in communion.  What powerful moments and testimonies of their faith as a couple!

We love traveling for destination weddings. Whether we are photographing weddings in Montana or at a destination wedding in Coeur d’Alene we always feel privileged to tell the story of each bride and groom’s wedding day through our lens.  Thanks Courtney and David and the entire Baker-Ferda gang for hosting us and letting us be a part of such a special day!  We hope you enjoy these beautiful outdoor wedding pictures as much as we do.

We had so much fun photographing a special celebration with the Steinberg family in Whitefish, MT.  Carrie decided to have her birthday bash with her three kids in the beautiful Flathead Valley near Whitefish, MT. This family comes from all over the US –  New Hampshire, California, and Washington.  They needed to choose the perfect rendezvous location.  They chose to celebrate under the Big Sky of Montana.  We think they did pick the best spot to have their family reunited!

The weather was a little unpredictable as it can be in June in Montana,  but in the end we had the perfect night with the perfect light!  We even had time to feed the neighborhood horses.  We love being Whitefish Montana family photographers!

Thanks Carrie and the rest of the Steinberg family.  We hope you love your family photos and had a wonderful weekend in Whitefish, MT!  Come back soon :)

The First Annual Evergreen Winter Festival took place at the Evergreen Lake House in Evergreen, Colorado on February 4th and was sponsored by many great businesses.  Everyone knew this event was going to be spectacular when we received thirty-some inches of snow the night before.  The event consisted of multiple activities, including an ice bike race (with the opportunity for participants to take a shortcut by drinking a shot of vodka and eating a piece of bacon), and a rail jam, sponsored by Echo Mountain.   Red Bull bumped some tunes, athletes jibbed some rails,  families skated the lake, and a great tradition was created in Evergreen.

I loved covering this event, thanks for having me- Particulars Planning and Evergreen Parks and Rec!
