Jess + Jess, Sadie Lake, Montana

Jess and Jess (yes, they're both named Jess!) had the COOLEST Montana wedding this past summer! Goldfinch Events did such an incredible job, like always, at bringing together all of Jess and Jess' fun ideas! We loved the Glacier Park Pendelton stripe touches, and glowing tee-pees! We also made their Super 8 film which Jess (groom) had a soft spot for, and even filmed part of it himself!

Springtime Love | Flathead Lake, Montana

Some shoots will just stay with you for a lifetime, and this was one of them. We photographed this amazing styled shoot on the day my Nana lost a hard battle to cancer, so when I look at these images, I get an over whelming sense of peace and a tinge of pain. Not to be cheesy, but I believe we had the prettiest Spring day you could ask for in Montana; a small miracle. The sun shone bright through the clouds and lit up the Swan range, just as we were hoping for, and we basked in its glory. For a short part of the year there's a sandy beach on Flathead Lake, and like the blooms we used, we took inspiration in their fleeting beauty. 

We're so honored to have this shoot featured in Trendy Bride Magazine!! You can pick up a copy at your local Barnes and Noble, or right here!

Thank you a million times over to our favorite crew!

Mary + Adam | Flathead Valley, Montana

Some weddings remind us of why we do this, and everything that weddings can be, this was one of those days. Mary and Adam invited us to be part of a beautiful day, filled with amazing moments, stories, and so many people whole loved them both. We gathered in a true Montana field under a cloudy blue sky for the ceremony, before heading to a barn to watch one of the summers best sunsets. Adam is a talented photographer himself, and we couldn't resist having them take pictures of each other on his Canon AE-1. They are truly people after our hearts, spending the year before their wedding traveling around the country pulling a turquoise trailer named Lucille, a story you can find in detail here: http://www.lucilleandfound.com
