How I approach my Work
With my whole heart…EVERY…SINGLE…TIME! I believe your wedding should be as unique as your love which means it will be like no other no matter what. I love what I do and I adore my wedding couples so very completely. I am so honored to share in such a special day in your lives and want nothing more that to give you my all in it.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE COVERED WITH EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY.
Leading up to your day we will visit a few times to make sure I have a perfect mental picture of what you want out of your day. Following that we go to work making those dreams come true for you.

FAQ
Do We have to hike to get all these amazing pictures?
Absolutely not…but we sure can if you’d like!! Most of our elopement locations are chosen with you being fully dressed up in mind. Minimal hiking is required to reach these amazing locations and it’s all in how they are photographed as to how remote it looks. We are also happy to hike to some amazing back country locations with you, take a float plane into somewhere remote, whitewater raft into amazing places, or helicopter to the highest peaks if that what makes you feel most alive on your wedding day.
How long will it take to get all of my photos back?
Within just a few days of your wedding expect to see a few of our favorite sneak peeks that you can share with your friends and shout from the rooftops that you are now married! For your full gallery we know from experience that beautiful edits can’t be rushed and we carefully edit each individual image making sure it is just right. You can expect your full wedding gallery to be ready within 6-8 weeks. If you are planning a reception or party back home we are always happy to edit a handful of images to be shared on your slideshow or printed to display…please just let us know on your wedding day.
What time should we plan our Glacier park ceremony for?
I’m so glad you asked and we would LOVE to help you with that. Glacier Park ceremony permits are only allowed in the very early morning or evening for the most popular and scenic locations. With our experience we know which locations are least busy and photograph the best at certain times of the day. We hope you will trust us to help you choose the time that will give you the very best experience and show off the most in your images.
How Far in advance should we book with you?
My Saturday weddings book 12-18 months out and my Elopements on Sundays-Fridays book 6-18 months out. July and August book up first here in Montana for both.
How would you describe your style?
My shooting style is very relaxed and comfortable. It’s a very good mix of fun, cozy, laughter, and intimate moments. I have spent 13 years defining how I work with my couples to ensure that you are extremely comfortable and never feel forced into any poses that just aren’t you. This includes a lot of just getting to know each other throughout the shoot and the two of you sharing the unique kind of love you have for one another in a very relaxed way. My couples typically describe me as very relaxed, easy going, and comfortable to be around. For my editing style I believe that editing styles come and go about every 2-3 years (I have consistently witnessed this in the past 13 years) so staying true to real color and tones is very important in your finished images. I know that getting married in Montana is in part for our amazing scenery here that includes very blue/green waters, vibrant mountains, red rocks, and moody forests. My goal is that when you share your images they are a direct reflection of the vibrant beauty and colors we have here. I do mix in some trendy edits in my favorites gallery for fun but you have those same images in my clean and timeless edits as well.
