Paradise Valley spring engagement

Spring weather has been trying to overcome the grip of Montana’s long winter. Some evening are in the 30’s and days have varied from 52 to 85 degrees F. On this day the temps were very comfortable and the breezes ruled every moment of this engagement shoot with this handsome couple. I’ve been working with Mike and Anna to find a good mutual time that worked for us and … the weather. We started talking about a year ago and finally the timing was right for this photo shoot. It wasn’t just ‘right’ it was ‘perfect’ and the photos tell the story of a relationship that has been abiding and growing for 12 years. NOW… the wedding is in the works!!!

Congratulations to Mike and Anna. Enjoy the view of the amazing Paradise Valley on this gorgeous breezy spring day in June.

Oh, and the day would not have been complete without the presence of their wonderful canine companion BO! My new doggie buddy. What a ham!

the big spin

I had some fun with my Go Pro at a dress shoot I did for After 5 and Weddings. I was plopping my little camera around the room and grabbing candid video clips while I was shooting some wedding dress fashion. This was one of my favorites. We were getting all set up for the stills of this beautiful gown modeled by the lovely Sarah Bates.

Yellowstone National Park Wedding

There is nothing like photographing a Yellowstone National Park Wedding during the celebration of the National Park Service Centennial! The traffic was wild! The sky was painted with plumes of smoke from a few nearby fires and Emily, Sean, their immediate family and a few close friends were wonderful!

We drove around for a few hours making images in just a few of the scenic wonders of Yellowstone National Park. Everywhere we went hundreds of people form all over the world were stopping to take a picture of the couple and conveying their congratulations and well wishes. It was very cool!

The Ceremony took place at one of the colorful pools for an intimate and moving ceremony officiated by the brides father. And then after Old Faithful performed on time, Emily and Sean slipped into their sleek Tesla Model S for some photos!
Enjoy the view!

Hershman-Bozeman wedding

My next Montana Wedding album, just off my desktop is from the Montana Woodlands and the wedding of Sierra and Tyler. Luscious flowers from my friend Julio at The Flower Hat and dinner by Chef Liz of Just a Taste.

As much as I love the change of seasons and LOVE what amazing times our mountain environment brings to us during all the sunny summer Montana Weddings… I am looking forward to my next wedding with a couple from Scotland, just a week from tomorrow! Welcoming them to Montana very soon!!!!

Thanks to my most talented daughter Jennie Lynn for shooting with me on this wedding. She is my finest second shooter and ‘she kills it!”

Enjoy this beautiful July Montana Wedding!

Big day in Paradise Valley

It was a Big day in Paradise Valley, when Megan and John merged their lives and their families. Lot’s of joy and lot’s of emotion in these loving and authentic souls. Thanks to Becca Boylan for shooting with me on this wedding. She brought her love of people and her uncanny ability to find the magical moments both serious and hilarious, of adults and children alike. I will let the images tell the story. In a word “SWEET”

And in the end I joined my young friends in celebrating this most wonderful marriage. Cheers to Megan and John, Cash and Cruz!

I was parched.

I asked for water.

They gave me beer… and it was really really good!

And NOW… one of the funniest moments of the day caught by the sharp eye and quick reactions of my second shooter Becca Boylan, “The Champagne Toast” . You’ve got to see this video of the images!
