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.

I have a love affair with what we in the industry call intimate weddings. These small celebrations of the couple and their love. Just them and their family or really close friends. There’s just an energy about them. Sometimes they’re just as simple as gathering together in a location for a ceremony and then maybe […]

These babes have a deep love for the mountains and wildlife so without question once they were engaged and planning a wedding it’d be in Montana. The day before their wedding Brittany text me that she was officially standing in the spot they were going to have their ceremony on the edge of Lake McDonald […]

One of the greatest things happened this year when I decided to expand my team. It can be lonely working alone but I also saw some demands + needs within my business. One thing that really got to me was how many weddings I can’t photograph each year just simply because I’m already booked. It […]

Meeting couples for the first time on their wedding day in Glacier is a funny thing at times. There are areas in the park that we can meet up, no problem. But Many Glacier is a special place in itself. Whether couples have been there, or found it and chose it, or they talked to […]

These babes roadtripped from Arkansas to Montana to elope in the mountains. They bought a truck camper a few months before to revamp and camp their way through their honeymoon and they lovingly named it Tramper. HAHA. They rolled in and I met Brandie in the camper to lace her into her dress and meet […]

My first Many Glacier elopement of the season and ohmygosh it was a complete dream. Ashley and TJ escaped here to take in the mountain air, a full moon, and say I do. I loved that even though they were eloping just the two of them they opted to not see each other getting ready. […]

These two do life completely on their own terms. Whatever it is that they want and makes them happy, they just go after that. They both knew they wanted to elope one day. A big wedding wasn’t for them. They didn’t have this big engagement event. They didn’t even have a ring! Geoff simply just […]

Sasha and Josh had originally planned this trip to Maui as a birthday trip for Josh since he just had his birthday. And then they found out they were expecting a baby! Even more to celebrate so it kind of turned into a babymoon. In the end they decided why not elope in Maui and […]

I instantly fell in love with Allison. As soon as she emailed I said a little prayer that I’d get to photograph her intimate wedding. She had the most beautiful idea for an elopement with 10 family members at this small little church in the middle of nowhere. She wasn’t doing a white dress, something […]

It all started when they met on a mission trip to the Philippines 7 years ago and this weekend they stood on a frozen Lake Louise with their family and brothers standing around them witnessing they’re beautiful vows to love each other forever. Miranda was always drawn to the idea of eloping somewhere away from […]
