Have you ever wondered what getting married on a boat would look like? How it would make you feel? Or why it would a unique thing to add to your elopement day?

M + A y’all were a blast! A is a fellow photographer in the area and she was more than willing to help me find the best location for their photos.

We embraced the wind, hiked up to the ski lifts and witnessed beautiful views. It truly couldn’t have been more fun! Thank you M + A for being flexible and showing me what Bozeman has to offer. I had a great time exploring and hanging out with y’all!

With couples being forced to do their weddings and honeymoons differently due to COIVD, new ways of celebrating came about. One of my favorites is exactly what J + E did, a one year anniversary session! They shared a corona during their session and it was fitting since it’s their favorite beer and they got married mid pandemic. Popping a bottle of bubbly celebrated their one year of marriage. J + E kept each other laughing the entire time and it was such a sweet evening celebrating their one year!

When I connected with A + K in April of 2020 they were planning for an intimate wedding of about 40 in the Florida Keys. But as the year went on and COIVD continued they decided to shift their plans. A + K’s guest list became that of 6 of their closest friends.

Gone are the days of cookie cutter weddings—we are in a new era where the possibilities for the day of your nuptials are truly endless. Although there are numerous options today, we’ll cover the 4 most popular wedding types in 2022,  their differences, what to consider when planning, and how to choose which one is right for you!

My first trip to Montana was spent with incredible couples, among them were P + L. They live in Bozeman with their young kids. L is also a local photographer and incredibly gracious to introduce me to this beautiful location!

Before I moved down to Destin at the start of 2020, C and I realized we were both moving to the same area via Instagram. We went to the same college, but didn’t know each other during our time at UTK! After moving to the area we became fast friends. She and R started dating not long after. So when R started talking about proposing I knew we needed to come up with the best surprise proposal!

Doing engagement photos with couples prior to wedding/elopement days provides the time for us all to get comfortable with each other and aren’t strangers come their day. We laugh a ton, share our favorite places to eat and travel and I get to find out exactly how they met.

N + A’s engagement photos were exactly that and so much more. They are so obviously each others best friend and can be serious when need be but then are the reason the other belly laughs. N + A met at the gym and their favorite place they have traveled together is Boston!

A Halloween recommitment ceremony and reception like no other!

M + N’s friends and family traveled from all over (as far as Canada) to celebrate with them commemorating their 2 years of marriage. In 2019, M + N eloped in the truest sense of going to the courthouse and getting married. So it was extremely special to finally get to celebrate and share their personal vows with each other.

My very first session of 2022 was with these two on January 3 on the beach.

Let me tell you the Florida panhandle is not as warm as some my think in the early months of the year. It was cold and windy, but these two braved it! B + N met at N’s work a few years back and the rest is history. We bonded over our love of sushi and trying new food. It was such a fun time exploring and hanging out on the beach when no one else was out there!
