Amanda and Ryan | Missoula MT Engagement Photographer

I'm Jackie

Traveling wedding photographer + photography/small biz educator.

Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life. 

hey hey

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

Missoula MT Engagement Photo Couple Embracing in Field at Sunset

I photograph my best friend and her man and her twin girls several times a year. Early this summer Amanda & Ryan said I do and Amanda had this vision of beautiful images of the two of them on the tables and around the wedding. But she wanted photos that no one had ever seen of them. So a few weeks before their wedding we ran out one night at sunset and took some photos of them around Missoula MT, at Linda Vista Golf Course and then escaped into a field at Blue Mountain just before the sun set for the night.

We usually don’t take photos for long because these two are so ridiculous and can barely keep it together. Constantly doing weird stuff, making faces, being idiots. And usually shortly after starting someone has either got hurt or we’re laughing so hard that Amanda has messed up her makeup from the laughing cry and it’s over. This time things were the same, full of shenanigans. But at some point we broke through the ridiculousness and pure magic happened with them. We’ve now learned they need a solid warm up period and then they’re the most amazing couple to photograph. But then mix it with the lighting we got that night it was pure simple magic.

She let me share one photo at the time and then they had to be put into the vault til after their wedding. Which the summer was so full with so many couples I’m just now getting back to sharing these! But they’re a treat and so worth the wait!

Happy Friday!!!!!!

Sidenote – if you wanna see the photos from their wedding check out Justine Russo’s blog! I did not take on the duties of photographer and maid of honor. Just made of honor. Sorry Justine left out most of my ridiculous drunk dancing… we’ll keep those in the vault 😉

XOXO
