The beauty of my job is that I really get to know my couples and their story- what makes them laugh, what they like to do together, how they fell in love, details of the proposal, etc.  Every couple of ours is SO different and I love that! We get to know so many different people during such a fun part of their lives. The relationship starts with the first call or email and lasts (at least) until our final package is delivered. Sometimes that can be a 12-18 month period! Engagement sessions can be so important because we get to know what a couple is like in front of the camera and they get to know what we are like behind the camera! It’s a really good ice breaker prior to the high emotion wedding days.

I love these two! Right away Rachel knew for sure they wanted to do their shoot on the banks of a river. Jordan loves to fish, and maybe doesn’t like taking pictures all that much (I don’t blame him!). Rachel knew he’d be game for a fly-fishing session so we went to the Yellowstone River in Paradise Valley, put on some highly stylish (ahem, Rachel!) waders and went for it. Although there weren’t any trouts on the line at the end of the evening, Jordan knew he caught the most beautiful one he could ever imagine. ;) Then we found a glorious lookout onto the valley for sunset.  Rachel and Jordan’s Livingston engagement session could not have been better! I can’t wait for your wedding in Red Lodge next June. Thanks you two, enjoy your images!

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.

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.
