Tara and Ryan were married in Missoula in September. We posted about their beautiful and simple invitations (see below) a few months back, and wanted to finally share the wedding with you, too!


Downtown Missoula offered a laid-back urban backdrop for the wedding party portraits.

A gorgeous ring shot.

Such an intimate ceremony!

This is one of my favorite couple portraits. Thanks for sharing this cute and simple wedding with us!

I've been filtering through engagement sessions over the past year, and realized I never posted this fun session with Cassie and Chris at Roy's Barn in Bozeman, Montana.

Cassie had a very clear idea of the sort of engagement portraits she wanted, and she incorporated bright colors and fun props to communicate a playful mood.

Everything went so well together! I especially adore her shoes.

Ice cream cones and balloons always help to create a relaxed and candid atmosphere. Montana is a fantastic backdrop for portraits -- whether it's a barn, the side of a red building in a quaint downtown, or simply the big blue sky, there's always a great photo opportunity.

Cassie and Chris have an elaborate, carnival-themed wedding planned for next August, and we can't wait to share it!

Danielle and Casey were wed on November 7th at Chico Hot Springs. Although a cold front came through Paradise Valley that day, the sun was shining and the wind had ceased, allowing Chieko of Nashan Photographers to get some great shots of the couple outside of their honeymoon cabin overlooking the valley and resort.



Danielle and Casey were great sports about standing outside in the cold in order to take their portraits. The entire wedding party was a fun crew!





The berry accents are a great way to capture the Autumn season in the flower arrangements!

Thanks to Danielle and Casey for sharing your wedding day with us!

This spring has been crazy here in Montana. Having a Spring wedding in Montana is a risky proposition at best, Keegan, my 15 year old daughter had the privilege of being Laci and Ryan's wedding photographer. Laci & Ryan were so fortunate to have a nice day for their wedding. They chose to get married at the Woodlands in Bozeman, and Leslie from Montana Wedding Florist did the bouquets.

Laci and Ryan personalized their wedding in so many unique ways that were really meaningful to them. From the sign in 'tree' to the bird cage for gifts in envelopes the theme was clear. They love family, nature and wildlife and incorporated it into so many different aspects of their wedding. Personalizing a Montana Wedding offers so many options but the one theme that is very popular is the love of nature. Lacie and Ryan chose to have the ring bearer carry their rings in a bird's nest and had feathers on the center pieces, her hair piece and broach etc. Lacy's broach and matching hair piece that her mother made set off her wedding dress just perfectly.

This was the first wedding at The Woodlands that was held in the trees and it was a perfect location for their wedding. It set the perfect backdrop of the sand ceremony that included sand from Kiawia and from Oregon, two coastlines that are very meaningful for the two of them.

They frames and labeled portraits of their various family members at their weddings. They were a diverse set of photos but the one cohesive factor was that their family members stayed married for a LONG time.

And don't forget a funky pair of shoes. I loved the fact that Laci's accent color was black. It shows a confidence and sense of style that is so funky and fun!

When you are planning a wedding in Montana think of what makes it interesting to you. What were the meaningful places that effected you and how can you share those with your family and friends.
