Beartooth Highway engagement photos? Yes, please!

Kaitlynn + Jack came home to Montana from Alabama for their engagement session, and what better place to celebrate than the Beartooth Highway?

The weather didn’t exactly cooperate with the golden sunset we were hoping for, but these two were absolute champs, braving the wind, rain, and even a little thunder for some amazing photos. The views were incredible, and we had a great time carpooling together over this iconic highway.

These high school sweethearts will be getting married in Red Lodge next spring, and after spending the evening with them, I know it’s going to be an incredibly special day. I can’t wait! 💜

Bryce + Cassie came all the way from Wisconsin for their Montana honeymoon, and while they were here, we explored Glacier National Park for a couples session in their wedding attire. 💜

We made our way to some of the park’s most iconic spots, spotted plenty of wildlife, and even had a mountain goat decide to join in on the fun with a photobomb. I’d call that a successful Glacier adventure!

Congratulations again, you two. Thanks for trusting me to help capture this special part of your honeymoon.

One of my favorite parts of a wedding day? The dance floor. 💃🕺

Lili + Tristan’s family and friends absolutely brought the energy, and it was so much fun getting to capture all the laughs, dance moves, and unforgettable moments. These are the kinds of memories that make a wedding gallery feel complete and that I absolutely live to capture!

Congratulations again, you two! Thank you for letting me be part of such an incredible celebration.

Last night I had the pleasure of photographing Sarah + Adam’s engagement session at Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge.

Sarah and Adam are both researchers at Rocky Mountain Laboratories. Sarah studies Ebola, and Adam studies influenza and innate immunity. To say they’re smarty pants would be an understatement.

Fortunately, no Ebola was contracted during the photo session... though I did spend some quality time editing out mosquitoes afterward and walked away with at least 15 bites myself (and counting)! 😅

I am very much looking forward to getting to know these two better over the coming year and celebrating with them again on their wedding day next June. 💜

Some wedding days stay with you long after they’re over, and this was one of them.

Korbey + Jace were married at River Edge Resort in Alberton, MT. Not only was it a gorgeous backdrop for their wedding, along the Clark Fork River... but together, they have five incredible kids, and watching this family celebrate becoming one after the ceremony was a moment I will not soon forget.

It was such an honor to document every hug, every smile, and every joyful moment. Congratulations to this beautiful blended family. I couldn’t be happier for all of you. 💜

Michael’s best man, Ryan, is a pilot. The guests had no idea what was coming until they heard it overhead.

The helicopter circled the ceremony site, landed, and Michael walked out with his groomsmen. The most epic ceremony entrance I’ve ever photographed . 🚁

Married at The Barn on Pine Hollow in Stevensville.

Angie & Nathan are both flight paramedics and my new bffs!! They brought their whole crew out to Montana for the real Montana wedding experience... and Cattle Springs in Arlee, MT did not disappoint!

Cattle Springs is a real working ranch and was the perfect backdrop for their big sky wedding with their dearest friends and family.

Special thanks to DJ Shane for the awesome drone footage!
