Sneak Peek: Joanna & Kevin (Mountain Meadow Inn, Helena Montana) | Helena Montana Wedding Photographer

Classy, stylish, relaxed, intimate and full of love. Those are the words that first come to mind when I think about yesterday's gorgeous wedding at Mountain Meadow Inn here in Helena, Montana. Joanna and Kevin traveled from their current home in Austin Texas to his hometown of Helena to say their vows in the presence of their closest friends and family.  It was an honor to be a part of their special day - and I'm looking forward to digging into the rest of their images from the day.

Huge thanks to Lisa of Lisa Kunkel Photography for being with me throughout the day and having my back at all times!

Wishing you all the best as you start the newest chapter of your lives together, Joanna and Kevin!

Joanna and her sisters put an incredible amount of effort into the flowers.  They were everywhere, and they were stunning!

At the moment, no one wants their picture taken when emotions are on the brink... but looking back, it's those moments that make the day and bring the memories back to be lived again. 

The day was typical Montana wind and that incredible Big Sky!

Magic happens during that hour before sunset, doesn't it?!

Brett + Matt: Engaged | Butte, Montana Wedding and Engagement Photographer

Brett and Matt will be getting married this spring in Butte, America - one of my favorite places in the world. I met them at their ranch recently for their engagement photos and despite single digit temperatures, got a great feeling for the warmth and love between them. To photograph their upcoming wedding will be a pleasure. Their smiles and laughter are contagious -- take a look at what I mean:

Allison & Zach: Married | Seeley Lake Montana Wedding Photographer

You know how every now and then throughout life, you come across people who make you happy to be alive?  Zach and Allison were two of those people in my life.  We met last fall for their engagement session, prior to which I may or may not have been stalking them to get the inside scoop on their personalities... Well, this is the first thing I came across:  a blog entitled "squirrel thoughts."  You should really go read it.  After you peruse through their wedding images here, of course.

After laughing (out loud) my way through Allison's entry about a bus ride gone wrong between Butte and Great Falls, I knew we were a good match, and that we were all in for a stinking good time at their wedding.

They didn't disappoint.  Their wedding day at the Double Arrow Resort in Seeley Lake was the perfect backdrop for their day filled with wit, love, a little rain, and a lot of smiles.  

Congratulations doesn't seem like a big enough word.  I wish these two the very best that everything in life has to offer as they begin their journey of husband and wife together.  I hope to get to know them better as time goes on, and cannot wait to see what trouble they get in together over the years (you will hire me for your 50th anniversary photos, right??)
