Celebrating 20 years together is a monumental milestone. Is there a better way to celebrate than on a stormy Montana evening with your horses, kids, dogs, and other animals that you have accumulated through the years watching the promise of a rainbow fill the sky and while reminiscing the past knowing the future will be even better.
Read MoreKara contacted me a few days before her wedding. The photographer she had booked cooked make her flight because of COVID cancellations. When she started telling me about her intimate wedding in Polebridge Montana at SUNRISE, I knew I was going to do anything to clear my schedule and be there! I left my house long before dawn, turned on a good podcast for the partly dirt road travel to this gorgeous meadow nestled beneath jaw-dropping mountains. As I got to know Ken and Kara, I could tell we were going to have a lot of fun exploring. After catching the sun at just the right time for the ceremony, we stuck around for some family photos and amazing pastries from The Northern Lights Saloon You have to check out this bouquet Kara put together herself and this amazing veil and handmade dress!
Read MoreI always encourage people if possible to plan for a sunrise or sunset session. The light is delicious at that time. The summer days in Montana can be long, but if you are up for a late night adventure, I promise Lake Mcdonald in Glacier National Park will not disappoint.
Visiting with Alex and Anna was like a trip down memory lane. I attended the same school and we got to exchange stories which was really neat.
Anna and Alex were up or anything…well, I’m pretty sure Alex might have not been used to the Montana water temperatures, but he was a good sport!
Congratulations you two!
Read MorePutting together this styled shoot I had a vision for a cozy, sweater, mountain, winter elopement style at sunrise. Who else does this at sunrise? If you are interested in getting married at sunrise, hit me up. Huge thanks to Hannah at Columbia Mountain Cabins. She was so helpful and you should check out her venue here if you are eloping or getting married Jacki at J Scott Couture runs a boss bridal shop. You can see more of her gorgeous dresses here Thanks to Poshmark for the sweater. Huge thanks to Conrad Floral for the flowers, Christina over at Soucie and Soucie for the hair and makeup (special thanks for getting up so early to get the work done before sunrise). And finally, my awesome models Jakob and Jessica. You guys were so flexible and fun!
Read MoreThe winters around here can be long. This year in particular we have gotten more snow pack then usual and have had some pretty insane low temperatures. Looking for places to ice-skate is not actually as easy as one might think, but when the snow piles up; a shovel definitely comes in handy. Josef and Laura are such a fun couple, have untouchable fashion, and are bringing back timeless love. And. . . this sunset. Josef was building the fire, when I turned around and could not resist photographing it. I have to tell you, as gorgeous as these sunset photos are, they don’t actually do it justice.

By the way, Holland Lake is one fine lake that is often overlooked. If you do decide to ice-skate on it, watch out for the springs. I don’t want to be responsible for giving people ideas that get them into trouble.

I truly believe it is so important as a couple to adventure together and keep having fun. Do you agree?
