We planned a day after photo session for Will and Kate a couple days after their wedding so they could spend some time with all of their friends and family before they headed home. Will looked at me and said straight up he needed a boat photo. Just them in a boat and mountains. That’s what he wanted. So I pulled a few images and just asked ok these mountains and these mountains? And location was decided…. Many Glacier. Many Glacier is part of Glacier National Park but it’s a bit disconnected from everything, way up there almost to Canada. 5 hours each way from my house and 2.5 from where Kate and Will were staying. People said we were crazy to drive that far just for a photo shoot but that place is crazy beautiful. Neither of them had been so I was so excited to show it to them.
We showed up and the lighting was awesome, a few clouds, and some sun. I thought I had planned it right to grab a boat as they didn’t close for an hour but turns out the last hour you can’t take them out but I swooned the guy working the latest to let us take one out. Really how could you say no with a bride and groom standing there. And away we went!
As the night went on a storm started to roll in making crazy skies, then we had a bear scare and then the storm started to settle in but I wasn’t finished I was just trying to figure out what to do to keep the landscape amazing, avoid the bear, and deal with how dark it was getting and when I looked over there was Kate standing there with the sunset stormy sky behind her just playing with her dress and that was it. I pretty much died after that.
I’m loving these images as it isn’t normal to get so many different looks and lighting. We got lucky. And just as we called it quits the rain started to fall and we ran in to get some dinner and it poured, lightning striking everywhere, so much wind. It was insane to sit and watch.
These are some of my all-time fave photos so enjoy!!!
XOXO
