Stephanie and Riley

Most client's choose their photographer, but I like to think that I chose Stephanie and Riley. I met them at the Bravo show and just knew I should photograph their wedding, so I told them so (several times). Luckily, they didn't find me too creepy, and here we are! Their bridal veil lakes wedding was so amazing. Three sets of musicians, a unique ceremony performed by a friend, a lake-side cocktail hour with cold Corona's, a fabulous meal of northwest cuisine, a bit of rain for good luck, tables labled by Portland neighborhoods and blessed with bouqets by the talented Francoise, a gelato bar, and one the best dance parties to date. I was also lucky enough to have my dear friend and super talented photographer Kate come along as my second shooter. Thanks so much Stephanie and Riley for letting me choose you!

Zane, class of '09

My nephew Zane is a senior at Sentinel High here in Missoula! I love photographing high school seniors, they are at such a great stage in their lives with so much excitement ahead. I remember getting my senior portraits taken, and wanting something really unique. Now I try to provide each senior with a great variety of unique portraits. I love the 'photo booth' series (photographed at dusk against a white delivery truck!). Thanks Zane, I can't believe you're a senior!

Jason and Jackie

This upcoming wedding is a very special one--my baby brother is getting married! I did a quick save the date session with Jason and Jackie in the spring, and then finally got a chance to do an engagement session outside Bozeman recently. These two have such amazing chemistry, I love to be around them and it was a joy to photograph them. And let's not forget their awesome dog Peter, he is quite the model himself! Jason and Jackie, I love you guys and can't wait for Oct. 11th!

Wendy and Byron

had a wonderful wedding day at Timberline lodge. A few highlights--being on Mount Hood (of course!), lots of tears and laughter, Byron's Mom sang a beautiful Italian song for the ceremony, Wendy is a designer and the details were fabulous!, flowers by the always impressive Geranium Lake Flowers, working with Ali from An Affair to Remember in Bend, and of course photographing such a sweet and loving couple. Thanks so much guys!
