Seattle Senior
Despite what you may have been told I don’t only shoot weddings. Seattle has long been on my list of places to check out. I even looked for photo schools in the area & so much of my favorite music from high school is from there. Speaking of high school, Abigail will be graduating soon. Check out some photos from our senior session!
BILLINGS MONTANA PHOTO BOOTH RENTAL!
Billings Montana Engagement Session, Zimmerman park
I love pulling out real moments and connections between the people I’m photographing. If you’re in love all you need to look great in your photos is to be interacting and your photos will come out just as sweet, loving, or goofy as the two of you are together. If your planning a wedding you will need some photos to show how you feel. Wedding and engagement photos that show the real you looking relaxed and happy is the goal for any photography session.
2018-09-22 Sierra & Erik’s Swift River Ranch Wedding, Billings, MT
Sierra & Erik got married on the last day that looked and felt like summer in 2018. Down by the mighty Yellowstone just outside of Billings at a little venue called Swift River Ranch. This was a wonderful Montana wedding!
I hope you enjoy this collection of wedding images, I think they turned out awesome!

Kassi & Kiley's Bridger Canyon Rd Wedding, Bozeman, MT
This was a fun one! What a wonderful group of people who got together for the marriage of Kassi & Kiley! Friday night we gathered at their home between Bozeman and Bridger Bowl for some food, drink, campfires and camping. What a Montana way to start out the weekend! Saturday morning it was show time. The galls got ready at Revive Salon in Gallatin Gateway and the guys took care of some last minute details down at the venue. (The venue was a BEAUTIFUL private property just down the road from their house.) We used the beautiful Bridger mountains for the backdrop for formals and wedding ceremony. After the knot was tied, we had some tasty food, listened to speeches and got down to some live music that didn't stop until well after the sun went down!

Kelly & Sam's Camelot Ranch Wedding, Billings, Mt
Kelly's family has a wedding tradition that I think is absolutely fantastic. All her aunts (like 10 of them) get together and help out when any of the cousins get married. I first saw them roll in during hair and makeup at Ulta Salon. The aunts brought in mimosas, a must for any wedding morning, & breakfast. They also helped the flowers and some of the decorations at Camelot Ranch.
