Barbara and David

June 27 Big Sky wedding

Hey there. I've got more photos to share. We've been waiting for the nice weather to return and here it is, just in time for Barbera and David's engagement shoot. The folks at the Baxter Hotel were kind enough to let us onto this wedding venue "to be". Thanks to Debra and Shawna. This is a wonderful property with mountain views, a scenic hillside to climb, complete with a winding rushing stream and a great Big blue Sky!

I met Barbara last fall when she was shopping for a photographer for her wedding. There was something about her face that stirred an old remembrance. During the interview, I was trying to answer her questions while going back in my visual memory to see what was so familiar about her face... and then there it was. The face of my grandmother... But for heaven sakes, why??? So I just out with, "are you Cherokee?" I thought for sure she would think that I was crazy and would never hire me for her wedding. Here eyes widened, she looked at me with disbelief and said, "why yes, how did you ever guess?" Well, my Great Grandmother was full blood Cherokee and I could see the similarities. I will never forget her, she was a very spiritual woman and had a huge impact on my younger years. Unfortunately, after three generations of the genetic melting pot, I have little color to show for it.

I am so pleased to be shooting for Barbara "Tigerlily" and David in the end of June.

Enjoy the photos!























I love this image.


By the way, this venue is available now in it's natural state. Next year, I'm told it will be groomed and prepared for summertime weddings. Just drop me a note and I'll get you in touch with the event coordinator.
