::Featured in Instyle Weddings::

Ok, so this feature is not as huge and glorious as my Bride and Bloom Magazine feature but I thought it would be fun to tell you about it. They picked some of my detail shots from Natalie and John Zagaria's wedding for their "destination details" planning page. Look below. My photos are the wedding sign and moose cookie cutter in the upper right hand cover (#4 & #5)

Magazine says this about the photos:

4. The Location
Nestled in a lush green field, a handwritten sign looks as natural as a fence post and points guest in the right direction
5. The Favor
At this McAllister, Montana wedding, a moose-shaped cookie cutter makes a unique favor.

Featured in The Bride and Bloom Magazine!

I am so excited to tell you that I have been nationally published in the bride & bloom magazine. It is a beautifully put together magazine that features weddings with extra attention to details and flowers. The wedding featured is Natalie Toppel and John Zagaria's from July 1, 2007.

Katalin Green was the wedding coordinator and Avant Floral did the flowers.

Ok... this is my favorite part! Natalie is asked "what is your advice to other brides?" and she says, " make sure you have a good photographer because when it is all over, all you have are the memories and the pictures and you want to have the right things taken."

Missoula Montana Wedding

I was hired by Melissa and Steve to photograph their wedding weekend in Missoula, Montana, May 2nd and 3rd. Melissa grew up in Missoula where her family still resides and Steve has family on the East coast. Friends and family from around the country flew into Missoula to celebrate. They held their rehearsal dinner at the ball park in Missoula, were married at a local church and held their reception at the Holiday Inn right on the river in downtown Missoula. The weekend was beautiful and sunny. Melissa and Steve were so much fun to work with! As you will see from the photos, they were carefree and up for anything.

Their album turned out beautiful! Click HERE to view Melissa and Steve's album. Enjoy.

Paradise Valley, a montana wedding story

I met Ruth and Robert in a coffee shop in Livingston, Montana for our first meeting. They had been sitting on a bench sipping wine in the early afternoon, possibly deciding on wine to be served at their wedding. I immediately fell in love with these two! They are so passionate about life! We share a common love for great food and great wine.

Their wedding at Robert's family home in the Paradise Valley was simple yet spectacular, small and intimate, full of amazing wine and food. Private Chef, Ryan Lafoley came to the house to cater the event and the fabulous, Leslie Lukas did all of the flowers. You'll see from the photos, it was a gorgeous day, rare to Montana Aprils.

Their album turned out beautiful! Check it out!! Click Here to view their album.
