Julie and Derek's Wedding


Golden Aspen trees, blue skies, BIG families and a lot of laughter- that's how I will remember Derek and Julie's beautiful mountain wedding in Vail Colorado. The bride was even more beautiful than the setting and watching the groom smile at her it was obvious he felt the same way.
Julie, the bride, is one of four girls and their father is the only son in a family of eight children, so there was a lot of gentle teasing for the father of the bride who has always been surrounded by so many wild women!

The party went well into the night and everyone was sad to see the night come to an end- so was I! Julie and Derek thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of this special event!

Bridget and Pat's Wedding

When Bridget called me about shooting her and Pat's wedding at the 320 Ranch in Big Sky she asked specifically about my experience working with horses. She and Pat live on a ranch in eastern Montana and love horses and they wanted to be sure to have nice images of the traditional horse drawn carriage that would be transporting them to and from the ceremony.

I assured her that I would get many photos of the horses and carriage and that I did have experience with horses. I actually spent one summer during college driving horse-drawn carriages in Charleston, South Carolina!







The wedding day couldn't have been more beautiful with fluffly white clouds in a bright blue sky. Bridget and Pat exchanged their vows alongside the Gallatin River and then the horse-drawn carriage to them the the guests back to the lodge for the celebration feast!


I enjoyed every minute of this intimate and well planned wedding, thank you!
