Behind the Lens

Hey there, beautiful! I’m so glad you’re here. This blog is where I spill all the behind-the-scenes magic—beautiful love stories, favorite moments, dreamy locations, and maybe a few too many happy tears. Whether you’re planning your own big day or just love a good photo-filled love story, grab a coffee (or champagne!) and get cozy. Let’s dive into the day we captured something unforgettable.

It’s not just pretty pictures around here! Some posts are packed with helpful tips and local know-how. As a Montana local who’s photographed in just about every hidden gem from Kalispell to Glacier Park, I’ve learned a thing or two—like the best lighting spots, quiet ceremony corners, and timing tricks that can make your session feel effortless. I love sharing this insider info to help you plan a beautiful, stress-free experience you’ll never forget.

So go ahead—explore, dream, plan, and fall in love with the stories, tips, and inspiration inside. I hope you enjoy every post, and maybe even find a little spark for your own session along the way.
