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. 

hey hey

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.

I’m not sure how every wedding can feel like a dream especially with as much as I’ve been shooting, but my gosh every wedding is a D.R.E.A.M. Leslie and Tim came from Louisiana without ever have visiting Glacier park, or even Montana for that matter! They just love the outdoors and wanted to experience somewhere new and get married there. They picked this beautiful little spot off the trail near Swiftcurrent Lake in Many Glacier. They picked evening for their ceremony time which just had me swooning knowing we were going to get some beautiful light. And we sooooo did!

We hiked through the woods and climbed up hills over the lake and ventured back to cliffs, just laughing and goofing off the whole time.  And as the sun started to set we went in so many directions at the base of the mountain and I joked that I created them a sunset 3 times during this shoot HAHA! But it really does look like it!

They looked amazing and they hiked a few miles like this! And willing to try anything I asked with enthusiasm even though Tim tried to tell me he lacks in the enthusiasm department. Or that he can’t dance. Are you kidding me?!?!?! I now have proof!

I really can’t rave enough about how much I love elopements. Their so personal and intimate and carefree. Hyperfocused on just them and their love and promises to each other. And we can do whatever we want, whenever we want. They’re free from timelines and expectations. And every time the images that come from them are just so beautiful I can’t even handle it. I love when couples come and do it in a cool new place too! A new set to the next chapter of their love story. I’m still asking every day how did I get to be the lucky one to preserve these memories for lifetimes?! Feeling so grateful but oh my gosh enough cause the images are to die for!!!!!!!!! Check ‘em out!

XOXO, J.
