Katelynn and Anton | Red Lodge MT Wedding 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.

Rock Creek Resort Red Lodge MT Wedding Photo Couple Embracing at Sunset

Stoked to share Katelynn & Anton’s Rock Creek Resort wedding in Red Lodge MT. This all started by Anton noticing Katelynn sitting on a bench and he sat down and got to know her. And eventually he took her back to that bench to propose to her. And, at their wedding, it only seemed fitting, they had a beautiful bench made for everyone to sign. These two are so cute together. Anton can make Katelynn laugh on a dime. And she looks at him like no one else exists.

The started their day by meeting each other at an overlook in the Beartooth mountains. So beautiful. Then started charging up rock faces, Katelynn didn’t even take of her heels. Proud of you, girl! I loved their bridal party… just their siblings and best friends. The people who will always stand beside them in life. Katelynn even had her brother stand on her side and Anton had his sister standing on his. Just as Katelynn took her dad’s arm to walk down the aisle to Anton the rain starting coming down. And they continued on. Just before their vows the rain turned into a slushy hail and Anton instantly looked at the crowd and said “We’re going in. Everybody go inside.” And on impulse they finished their vows and had their first kiss inside on the dance floor with all of their friends and family standing around them. Something special that I’m sure they’ll laugh about for years.

The clouds loomed around and I looked out thinking we wouldn’t have any sunset but we should probably still take 10 minutes or so for some extra portraits. We walked through tall wet grass making comments about how pretty the sagebrush was on the other side of the fence that said NO TRESPASSING. Katelynn commented they had thought about that last night and going over there. Katelynn and Anton are ultra sweet and generous people. I was kind of thrown off guard. I looked at her and said are you serious? Wanna trespass? YUP! So we made our way through the barb wired fence.

It wasn’t greener on the other side… just a little prettier 😉 And then the sun hit the top of the mountain and lit up the clouded sky. MAGIC!

We returned to a night with an epic dance party that we had to join in on at some point and Katelynn and Anton ended the night running through a tunnel of glow stick and took off to their cabin with a quick look back and a wave bye! Totally perfect!!!

XOXO
