Ashley and Chris just got married on Saturday the 29th, but I was downloading their images onto the computer tonight and I couldn’t wait to post just a couple…  The ceremony and reception were both at the ballroom of the Civic Center – which they had decorated very nicely!  We also went over to the Carroll College campus to take some of the pictures.  We managed to dodge the wind and the rain for some great pictures.

There will be more to come soon, but for now, just a couple to whet your appetite! 

Let us know what you think in the comments box, if you like…

I’ve been waiting to post this FOREVER!  For various reasons, I couldn’t until now.  What happens when you combine gorgeous Melissa Sweet gowns with a talented model, a great style/makeup/hair team, and a couple photographers?  Well, besides a lot of fun, you get some killer images – which is exactly what we got!

We had the day all setup – locations picked, sets planned, the works.  Then what happens?  It rains.  And the wind blows almost 50 mph.  Seriously.  Not so great, especially since it meant it was under 40 degrees with the wind chill.  So, we went to plan B, and made a few phone calls.  Thanks to some very generous people, we had a couple different indoor locations offered to us within just a little while…  After scouting the locations, we decided on a very cool four story brick building that is in the process of being renovated – the historic Montana Distillery building – and we had the whole thing to ourselves!  (Thanks Blair!)

We set up camp on the top floor and got to work.  Several hours – and one patient model – later, we had some great images…  Which are coming, I promise.  We set out to shoot this as more of a fashion shoot – to showcase some gowns and location ideas that you might not get to see in an everyday wedding (at least not here in MT).  I think we accomplished what we wanted, and we had a ton of fun doing it!  Thanks to the whole team for being so flexible and being willing to make it up as we go – it turned out great!

And last, but certainly not least, I want to give credit where credit is due – then on to the images!

Just returned from a fun week away – we spent some time over in Seattle visiting some relatives and just relaxing.  Well, relaxing as much as is possible with 3 children 4 and under along for the ride. 

We did all kinds of fun things with the kids… Went to the beach, went to the zoo, took them to the flight museum…  And, of course, being the good photographer dad, I was trying to document all of this along the way.  FAIL.

Ok, so not a complete failure.  I did get some fun and/or cute pictures of the kids.  But, what I did learn is that is quite difficult to participate in and document the same event.  Or at very least, it isn’t a lot of fun!  Maybe it is the wedding photographer in me, but when I am trying to take pictures of an event, it seems that is what takes over.  So, towards the end of vacation I opted more times than not to simply leave the camera for a while, and just have fun.  And I did.

Hey there!  Are you a June bride, or know someone who is a June bride?  Well, we have some information for you…!

We have a couple openings in June still, so we thought we’d give you last minute brides a little something special.  We are going to have a a few options: free upgrades to larger/bigger albums, free framed canvas print, or up to 20% off on a package deal.

So, please pass along the info if you know someone who might be interested.  Again, you have to be getting married in June of this year, so you better hurry, as the remaining dates won’t last long!
