Jill and Max | Glacier National Park Elopement 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.

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.

Glacier National Park Sunrise Elopement Couple Embracing at Big Bend

From the first time Jill and I emailes it’s like we’ve been long time friends. Just felt like we’d known each other forever. We spent weeks talking about her and Max eloping in Glacier National Park with her 2 girls there. That one of her daughters had this photo of Lake McDonald on her computer and they knew they had to go there one day. So many ideas came up about locations in the park and then Jill threw out this crazy idea of maybe doing it at sunrise and we rolled with it. I’m not much of a morning person so I won’t lie the night before when my night owl self couldn’t go to sleep I began to question our decision of starting at 5am. But it was the right choice!

The lighting was so beautiful. As Jill sat in their small bungalow getting her hair and makeup done Max and the girls stood outside in the dew covered grass watching the fog roll over the fields below the mountains. Just in awe, they’d never seen anything like it.

We went up to Logan’s Pass and they hiked out to Hidden Lake overlook for a small intimate and beautiful ceremony. And then we spent the rest of the morning exploring different areas and downing granola bars. It was so sad to say goodbye. Just didn’t want it to end! But I’m so grateful to have been included and be apart of it.

Congratulations Jill & Max…. And Ava and Lily!
