Nashan Photographers associate Chieko shot Katie and Ryan's engagement portraits northeast of Livingston a few weeks ago. Ryan owns a fly fishing shop, and he and Katie spend a lot of time outdoors with their two Spaniels -- so they all headed to a local fishing access along the Yellowstone River for the session.

The couple was quick to comment on how nice it will be to have some pictures of the two of them that are not in a boat on the river with a fish!

Ryan was feeling a little under the weather that day, but the whole session still turned out fantastic!

It was unusually warm and sunny for the beginning of November, but the Livingston wind was still blowing like crazy, as you can see from Katie's hair!

We're really looking forward to Katie and Ryan's February wedding at the Gallatin Gateway Inn in Bozeman -- it's such a beautiful location! And since Montana is such a popular destination in the summertime for outdoor ceremonies, we don't get a chance to shoot many mid-winter weddings! Katie has a very classy and simple celebration planned, so be sure to check back for those shots in a couple of months!

Here is a sneak peak at some of Bärbel's (from Nashan Photographers) beautiful photos from Chris and Monique's July 4th wedding. The couple chose Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana as the location for their destination wedding, traveling from California for their special day. The day brought rain, sleet and thunder showers early on but turned into a lovely day in time for the ceremony, allowing for the couple to exchange vows outside with gorgeous views of the mountains. The wedding was coordinated by Leslie Lukas who also did the beautiful floral arrangements. Cakes from Cabin Ridge created the amazing tree inspired cake. Bärbel had a wonderful time photographing the couple who were so gentle and tender with each other.
