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!

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!

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!

Sit back, relax, and enjoy scrolling through this small town Montana wedding.  Our hearts were so warm after leaving this celebration!  I’m sorry, but you just can’t beat the feeling of a wedding when the whole town is in attendance.  We weren’t quite sure what to expect, but now we certainly have a special place in our hearts for Lewistown, Montana.  Sonya and Evan spent most of their childhoods in Lewistown, so it was only appropriate to return for their big day.  Family and friends showered (literally- thanks to the rain!) them with so much love and excitement.

We met Sonya and Evan at a wedding (Cammie & Braden’s) that we photographed last year.  We have an endless amount of thanks for these couples. Enjoy your images Sonya and Evan!  Although we are Bozeman Wedding Photographers, we would jump on the next opportunity to return to Lewistown. :)

Rachel and Tyler were married in paradise! It’s called Paradise Valley for a reason, that’s for sure.  It was a lovely day under the big sky at Deep Creek Range outside of Livingston, Montana.  The weather was very eventful- it started with a lot of sun and wind and then right before Rachel walked down the aisle, it started to POUR.  It continued for about 15 minutes and all their guests stuck it out with so much love and support. These two and their family and friends boogied and kicked up their heels all evening long.  We had so much fun capturing it all!

A big congratulations to Rachel & Tyler!  It was an honor for us to be there.  We were so thrilled to be your Livingston Wedding Photographers.
