Melissa & Zach | Montana Washington Wedding Photographer

Melissa and Zach are two incredibly beautiful people who had an fantastically fabulous July wedding at their family's property North of Spokane, Washington.  It literally took a village to put this day together.  From hand-sewn silverware holders for 500+ guests to grandma's wedding button sewn on to Melissa's wedding gown just moments before the ceremony began, from pouring cement in the dirt floor barn to matching mother-daughter bracelets, the love that their friends and family put into every detail on this very special day for the bride and groom showed everywhere you looked.

Enjoy perusing the images from the day.  I can't help but scroll through with a big smile on my face as I think back to the perfect blue sky and all the details that made it so incredible.  

Take some time to check out their wedding gallery over on my website to see more details from their wedding day.

Villalva Family | Helena, Montana Family Photography

Usually while planning for a photo session, I have a certain idea in mind of what it's going to look like before I even get there.  This session was no different - in the days leading up, I had in mind a beautiful sunset, frolicking in beautiful warm sunshine... Well, in case you haven't noticed, the weather in Montana doesn't seem to give a darn what we want...

Lucky for us, the dramatic skies and threat of bad weather added to the depth and moodiness of this recent family session.  We met at their home, played with their horses and had a wonderful time together on a stormy Montana afternoon.

Looking forward to showing the rest of these soon!!

Enjoy this little sneak peek in the meantime. And thank you again for the opportunity -- it was great to get to know you all and share in the love.

These are some of my favorite black and white shots in quite some time - I just can't get enough of the closeness and the love between the beautiful girls and their adoring parents.  

Someone was very curious what was happening in his pasture.
