Hidden Gem - Adventure Session - Mike and Nicole

Mike and Nicole chose the amazing Silver Knot to get married at and the day before their wedding, they decided on an adventurous hike in their wedding attire to watch the sun set on their last day before becoming man and wife. Watching the sun kiss the mountains as it slipped away on a perfect summer evening on a night like this - it doesn’t get much better.

Dress: Kenzo by All Who Wander

Ryan & Jessica - Kootenai River Outfitters, Troy Montana

Ryan and Jessica chose a true Montana experience for their intimate wedding. These cabins nestled on the Kootenai River at Montana Fly Fishing Guides were perfect. Ryan and Jessica are such an adventurous couple - they were planning a motorcycle ride for their honeymoon. How fun is that! The day offered some gorgeous cloud covers in the sometimes hot month of June. We may have spent some time fighting off mosquitoes, but I’d say it’s worth it!

Joe & Aparna - Elopement - Grinnell Glacier, Glacier National Park, MT

When Joe and Aparna started planning for their intimate elopement in Glacier National Park, I knew it was going to be a spectacular moment. We started the day off in East Glacier where Joe and Aparna got ready at a quaint adorable cabin. Stopping by the Many Glacier lodge for a cup of coffee from Montana Coffee traders was a must. We began on the trail as the sun was coming up. This time of year in the park is simply magical and the best part is that it tends to have fewer people that you have to share it with. I loved exchanging adventure stories with Joe and Aparna and learning about their lives. Aparna chose colorful, traditional Indian attire (I loved learning about her culture) that she could hike 11 miles in comfortably. When we got to the Glacier and the incredible color of water flowing out of it, Joe and Aparna exchanged their vows and promised the rest of their lives together. We wandered around the Glacier and the different perspectives depending on where you are standing are astonishing. I am so grateful for this part I got to play in Joe and Aparna’s elopement and wish them many adventures and love together :)

Derek & May - Glacier National Park, Montana Elopement

Derek and May met at a friend’s birthday party. They said they didn’t talk to each other much then, but 6 months later they ended up running into each other at the grocery store and then they happened to move into the same apartment complex. Derek asked May out and the rest is history.

I met Derek and May in West Glacier. I definitely was bringing my umbrellas on this trip, but as I tell people about Montana, “If you don’t like the weather wait 15 minutes and it will change.” We ended up with a beautiful dramatic sky for Derek and May’s vow exchange and a great view of the mountains. We ventured down the park exploring the forests and Lake McDonald.

I loved getting to know Derek and May a little more and wish you guys the best times together!

Josef & Laura ~ 5 years married ~ Glacier National Park, MT

When my friend Michelle of MEE Photography reached out to me wanting to partner together for a styled shoot in Glacier National Park, I was totally in. Basically, any excuse to wander up to Glacier, I’m in. Josef and Laura were celebrating 5 years of marriage together and it seemed like the perfect opportunity for an anniversary session. We headed out to the Hidden Lake trail at sunset to capture the sun dropping below the majestic mountains and saw some bighorn sheep that seemed quite ok with people. Laura, Josef, and I have known each other since we were kids ourselves. It has been amazing to watch them grow up and raise a family of their own. Here’s to many more years of happiness. By the way you should check out Laura’s photography work here. Michelle, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed the rest of your exploring this great park!
