Our Engagement on Film by Chris Rebo Photography

Seems like just the other day I was driving through beautiful fall colors to visit Rachel from my home in Bozeman. What a difference a year can make... One of the best parts of being a wedding photographer is seeing a new story every week. Almost every weekend this summer I captured images as stories played out in front of my camera, each one closer to the day I would get to tell my own. One of the main reasons I became a photographer was preservation. The idea of forgotten memories scares me, I want everything to be remembered, savored, and basked in. So much of what we do is fleeting, over before its even a whisper. I think thats why we search so hard for that other half, that best friend to share the journey, because when the day is done it only matters if you had a witness, a person to remember the story with.

Below are images of Rachel and I captured by my good friend Chris Rebo, also a amazing photographer. He is being awesome and letting me share a few here:)

Engagement Party on film

In the midst of edit, edit, edit, shoot, edit, drive, edit, edit, Rachel and I took time to cake taste yesterday. It was by far one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. Another one of my favorite parts was our engagement party a few weeks ago. We had a few friends over, and my best friend Jon and his wife Jenni were able to come up from Bozeman. We ate smores, drank, and sat around the bonfire. All these images were taken on Ilford delta 3200 film, and HP5, on my Yashica 124g, and Mamiya 645af.

Amy and Corry

It's been a long time coming. A new blog post!! We've been working harder than ever and are so excited to share this wonderful couple's wedding! We first met Amy and Corry in Sacramento, when they had just moved there from LA and we jut happen to be there visiting and shooting a wedding. The engagement session was a blast and I knew 100% that their wedding was going to be amazing. Well, it was. Nothing beats a wedding on Flathead Lake. Especially the Bigfork side since the sunset faces the party and fills the air with magic. It was seriously a blast being with these two love birds, getting to know their family, and ending the night with a surprise fireworks show on the lake. At one point Amy told me she wasn't good at this whole being a bride thing. I'd have to disagree. I was OBSESSED with her dress, her flowers, Corry's suit, the whole thing. LOVE.

Their First Look was priceless and well worth it. Nerves were running high and the second Amy and Corry saw each other all was good again. I think I teared up, but that seriously wouldn't be any surprise, haha!
