Summertime weddings in Paradise Valley are almost always spectacular! The wedding of Kristen and Patrick was true to form and most stunning! The day was warm, the light was delicious and seemed to embrace every moment, changing with the mood with a sense of artistry.
See for yourself!
Summer time is just around the corner and LMR is a spectacular place for a wedding of any size! And the view is breathtaking.
Check out this quintessential intimate Montana wedding!
Nicole and Joe married at the Lone Mountain Ranch in Big Sky, Montana. High on the hill above the ranch with spectacular views of Lone Peak, the groom rode in on a horse and the bride on a massive horse drawn wagon. The couple, the pastor (the inimitable Rev. Bradford Lartigue), and the smiling ranch hands… under a blue sky full of mountain tops! Wow! Enjoy the view.
A splendid summer wedding day in Paradise
Allyson wore her Grandmother’s wedding dress for the first look, in her honor. Then she surprised her husband (to be) with her own wedding dress when she came down the isle. Awesome!
At the end of the day the grandeur of Paradise Valley shown it’s amazing light and beauty upon this wonderful couple. Cheers to Allyson and Drew!
Ryan contacted me in the early months of this year with his plan to make the long trip to Yellowstone National Park and propose marriage to Payton, the love of his life. When planning a day in Yellowstone in the first week of October, you never know what sort of weather you may get. At about 8000 feet above sea level, you may have 65 and sunny or, 15 degrees and snow. It’s a roll of the dice. As this date was coming up on the calendar I watched as the temperatures were dropping and precipitation was on it’s way sooner rather than later. Fortunately, the weather held!
I headed out before sunrise to get to our meeting place that looks directly into the face of Yellowstone falls. Everything went like clock work, the surprise was a great success and then we took a drive to several other of my favorite locations for photos.
Congratulation to this wonderful couple!
Enjoy the view!
Happy, happy, happy!
It is always special when long time family friends ask me to capture their wedding day images. We go way back!!! Summer evenings were a time for grass court volleyball in the park. At that time Jordan was just a little one who slept and played on a blanket, while the adults played on into summer evenings.
A few weeks ago this wonderful young woman married the love of her life. Congratulations to Jordan and Jacob! Such a meaningful time. I felt honored to capture their wedding day!
Joy, Joy, Joy!
This intimate family wedding took place beside the rushing of a local creek in the foothills of the Paradise Valley on a historic family property. When I drove down the steep driveway it opened to reveal four family cabins. It was magic! You could feel and see the family history in this place. I felt honored to have been hired to photograph in this very special place for this fine young couple.
Thanks to Amber and Jeremiah for choosing me to capture this beautiful family event. And… thanks to my amazing second shooter Rachel Mascari for her meaningful contribution of artistic, sensitive imagery.
