Dena and Jeremy's Wedding

Dena and Jeremy are so cute! When I met this sweet couple several months ago, I just enjoyed their company so much and knew that their wedding would be special- and it was! Dena held so tightly to Jeremy's hand during the ceremony and he looked so deeply into her eyes that I don't think either of them noticed anyone else in the church!

Their friends and family are equally as sweet. I really enjoyed getting to know some of the bridesmaids and groomsmen and loved how they were up for anything wen we took the group portraits. The guys even agreed to hold hands and spin in a circle! Now those are some good friends!

It was a beautiful fall day here in Bozeman and I think Dena and Jeremy are in for many, many beautiful days to come.

Thanks for having me there to document your wedding day Dena and Jeremy and I hope to see you soon!

Erin and Tyler's Wedding

I left Bozeman for Miles City in the middle of our first snowstorm of the season, but by the time I got to Miles City (a four hour drive that took almost six in the snow!) the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day for a wedding.

I met Erin and her eight (yes, eight!) bridesmaids at a local hair salon which was all decorated for the three bridal parties getting ready there that day. It was all so fun that I was ready to move to Miles City.

The groomsmen in the meantime were gathered around the TV watching the Griz game, which the Griz won at the last minute. They were all such a fun group and were genuinely excited to watch Erin and Tyler tie the knot.

The reception had every one up and dancing- I even got spun around the dance floor a few times! What a great night- I'm so glad I got a chance to be a part of it.

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!

Maura and Brandon's Wedding

Maura and Brandon are so easy to like that after shooting their wedding I feel like I've known them for ever. Their wedding in Big Sky reflected their easy going nature and their connections to their families.

The preist who performed the ceremony actually performed the wedding ceremony for Maura's parents thirty years ago! This was so special that I found myself wiping tears away a few times during the ceremony.

The reception followed at the beautiful 320 Ranch and I was reminded once again that people from Butte (where Maura is from) can party! Everyone was having such a great time (me included!) that the night just flew by.

I hope to see you both again soon- thanks for having me be a part of this fun day!

Rose and Jake's Wedding

Rose and Jake are old friends and so I was honored when they asked me to come back to New England to shoot their wedding. They are both such fun people; in fact, Rose might be one of the funniest people I've ever met. So I knew that their wedding would be a great time- and it truly was.

It was a beautiful August day. They got married under a chupa after signing the traditional Jewish wedding contract. Then their was dancing to the reggae band and lots of fun for everyone.

I had such a good time and I was so happy to get to see other old friends that my husband and I used to work with, that I almost forgot I was working! However, the pictures look beautiful and I think really reflect the spirit and love between this wonderful couple.

Have a great time in Belize on your honeymoon and a love and happy life together!
