Layne and Mike | Montana Lake

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.

Last summer I cruised up to Eureka to Layne’s family cabin on the lake to photograph her and Mike for their engagements exactly one year before their wedding and holy crap the year went by so fast. The whole way up for the wedding I tried to explain to Amanda the lake house and the property and how they were going to do all of it on the lawn (that was beautifully maintained as mentioned in this resource from Drake’s 7 Dees) but even I wasn’t sure exactly how it’d work really and I was blown away. It was perfect ! You can also contact experts from pest control nashua nh to avail pest control services in your lawn.

Ever since Layne was little she dreamed of getting married at the lake. That was going to be the place and man it was amazing. A small village brought it all together, everyone cooking, neighbors cleaning up and moving their boats around, getting married in everyone’s house, etc. So awesome.

Mike waited on the dock for their first look as Layne walked down the lawn with her parents. It was so sweet that they walked her down and sent her off to see her man. There were soooo many tears during this wedding. So much love and joy all their bodies literally couldn’t contain it. All day. First look, ceremony, speeches, so much joy. So beautiful.

They shared personal vows about turkey meatballs and the promises to forever under the trees at the beach edge with all of their friends and family. Ended their ceremony with a celebratory toast with everyone. Escaped on the boat with just their bridal party to pause for a moment and soak it all in before starting the night. They danced under the trees with lights strung from them. Drank wine right from the boxes hung on all the trees. And embraced during the last light out on the boat as the mountains lit up by the sun that was hidden in clouds all day.

Magic.

XOXO,  J.
