bo and kelsey
july 19th, 2014

they don’t get much sweeter and more in love than bo and kelsey. i met these two a couple years ago when i photographed bo’s sister’s wedding. since then i have grown to love them…and their beautiful little girl, rylee. their wedding day was simply beautiful. although the smoke (forest fires) was bad and we got sprinkled on a bit….the day was perfect.

bo and kelsey, we wish the 3 of you a lifetime of love, happiness, laughter, health and friendship. thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your day. i love you guys!!!!!! xo

love this. as kelsey was walking to see bo for the first time, her girls were watching and her mom was peeking through the window

that little one on the right…..that’s rylee. bo and kelsey’s adorable daughter.

we were lucky enough to have this sweet little girl (bo and kelsey’s niece) be the flower girl 2 weddings in a row. love her.

thumbs up back atcha, mike

you can really see the smoke here, but oh so beautiful!

HIIIIII rylee!!! you’re cute!!!

trey and brittany
july 12, 2014

i have known these two love birds for a while now and it was a day we were all looking forward to for a long time. i just adore these two so much. they are amazingly kind, wonderful, giving, sincere (i could go on and on…) people. they know how to love with their whole hearts and that is just exactly what they do.

brittany and trey, thank you for letting jeremie and myself be a part of your amazing day!! you guys are what love and marriage are all about. we wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, friendship, health, laughter and lots of babiesxoxo

brittany and trey decided to have a first meeting instead of first look. they wanted to talk to each other, but trey wasn’t allowed to see brittany just yet

this group was SO much fun!!!

such a great group of guys…..and so handsome to boot!

HELLO ladies and your fabulous legs!!

LOVE this!!!

brittany and trey….seriously. look how gorgeous you two are!!

oh how brittany loves her dad. one of the sweetest moments of the day was the father/daughter dance.

brittany and trey surprised brittany’s parents by playing their wedding song for them to dance to. their 35th wedding anniversary is just around the corner. WooHoo!!

this last photo makes my heart smile. these girls are my past (plus one current and one future) brides that were at brittany’s wedding.
i love them all so much and it was so great to see them all!! (and baby bumps make my heart smile too!!)
kelsey’s (top right) wedding is this weekend. can’t wait!

we love you brittany and trey!!!! xoxo

cody and morgan | kalispell montana photographer

cody and morgan

i have photographed these two from their engagement and wedding…and every year since. i look forward to their sessions so much!! morgan and cody are two of my favorites. i love them dearly and so honored that i can call them friends. they are ALWAYS up for anything and even cody, who may not always like or agree with my ideas ;), is always 100% in.
(thank you cody for being such a good sport!). Morgan is my go-to hair girl. she keeps me looking as normal as she canand she’s the hair genius behind all of my fun/crazy shoots.

they are a dream to photograph (HELLO GORGEOUSNESS), but they are just a dream to be around.
they don’t get any sweeter or more kind than these two.

love you guys!!! xoxo

chris and kristina | montana wedding photographers

after days of solid rain, we were all wondering if it would ever end….but just in time for the first day of summer,
it was a gorgeous, sunny and wonderful day!!

chris and kristina had a very small and intimate ceremony on the beach of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park.
The backdrop was just the perfect way to say i do.
after the ceremony we took a little stroll and got some pictures of the new beautiful bride and her handsome groom.
it was a beautiful day!

loved this popcorn bar for the guest to eat while they were waiting

congratulations chris and kristina!! we wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, laughter and friendship! xo

Jennifer H iggins

I love the pictures. Every one of them capture the emotion and beauty. Just a note that the cake knife is the bride’s maternal grandmother and grandfather’s knife used at their wedding in 1956. Her mom and and used the same cake knife and three months later her aunt and uncle used the cake knife – all in 1985. Her cousin, Erin used the cake knife three month’s ago and three month’s later Kristina and Chris used it.
Dani

Wow! These are absolutely stunning pictures of a beautiful wedding and a sweet couple. So much fantastic color!
Jennifer Higgins

The pearls she wore were her maternal grandmother, Shirley Quick’s pearls, a wedding present from her maternal grandfather, Burt Quick. They were also worn the her mother, Jennifer Higgins, her aunts, Kelly Lamar and Michele Miller and now Kristina.
Jennifer

Kristina wad always the sweetest when I worked with her at Applebee’s and you deserve every moment of the happiness you experiencing and you were a beautiful bride.
