As a wedding photojournalist, it's my job to capture not just the events of the day, but also the emotions and personalities of my clients and their families. Kids are so honest and upfront with their emotions, they let it all show when in front of the camera and that makes it easy to capture beautiful, candid photos that reflect who they are, and I believe that's why it is also so much fun! 

Their spontaneity often leads to some great candid moments adding layers of emotional depth to your gallery.

The lighting conditions during the winter can be challenging with the shorter days, but it also presents an opportunity to produce beautiful, moody, and dreamy images. When you encounter photographers who are accustomed to photographing in environments that are gusty, cloudy, snowy and change rapidly, you can rest assured that they know how to take that weather and actually use it to enhance the images. Emotions are harder to show in photos that suddenly spring out, not in spite of the weather, but because of it.

There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing where to get married in Montana. Today I am arguing for a totally underrated, overlooked, and sometimes ridiculed part of Montana that is completely unjustified.

Planning a wedding is a HUGE and complicated endeavor. You have to conceptualize what you want this day to be like ahead of time and then make a thousand decisions that bring you closer or farther from that original concept. Also, your family and friends probably have plenty of ideas of how your day should go and have been eager to give those ideas to you.

So how do you decide what to do and how to do it so that your day is as amazing as the vision in your head?
