Their little one was a bundle of cuddles, and the three of them fit together so perfectly… like the sand under my feet.

The Vaz Francos are beautiful storytellers through photography and even coordination and design, and it is ALWAYS such an honor and pleasure to photograph other creatives. You can check out their work here.
Portugal has been on my wanderlust list for years. Why is it that some countries feel like they’re better suited for layovers or stops along the way to your real destination? I had originally planned Portugal like this, but I’m so glad I explored this country for nine days. Ha – I just reread that sentence and feel like nine days was just a layover. There is so much to explore, appreciate, and love in Portugal.
My trip started in the south, then on to Lisbon, and finally ended in Porto.

From the moment I met Kori and Drake I sensed such a grounded love between the two of them. I love when I can feel how equally a couple respects each other, and that’s exactly how I felt with Kori and Drake. Their kindness and sensitivity with each other is admirable and a real gift to witness. I cherish these moments with my clients and feel so lucky to experience this pure joy more often than not.

Lucy and Sean road tripped last year to the west and fell in love with Montana – I mean, obviously. Ha! They decided to visit again on their way back home, and set up an appointment to visit Grizzly Creek Ranch for a possible wedding venue. They fell in love, even more, and decided this was where they wanted to make their special promises to each other with their immediate families and very closest friends as witnesses. The group of 17 showed up on a beautiful weekend in August to celebrate, party, hike, and look for grizzlies.

Lucy and Sean decided to do a first look privately while their guests were being seated for the ceremony. A short, yet meaningful moment to feel the anticipation together and walk hand in hand and side by side to share their vows publicly.
“So glad we absorbed your ever honest and true advice, specifically about the first look. It ended up being really important to me! You helped us make it our own.” -Lucy

To honor Sean’s heritage, Lucy and Sean included the Hindu wedding ritual Saptapadi. 7 vows and 7 revolution around the fire. And to honor their own desire to make their wedding day exactly what they wanted it to be, they asked their best friends who are also their brothers to officiate the ceremony.

An emphasis for Lucy and Sean during their wedding planning was keep the wedding weekend focused on the celebration of their commitment. They used this intimate setting, tucked in the Tom Miner Basin, to enjoy each other’s company and relax. Simple decorations and a “come as you are” invitation to their special people let the focus fall on celebration instead of stressful wedding planning. Lucy and Sean are two of the most genuine people I’ve ever met; love and acceptance just oozes from them. I’m so lucky I got to photograph their beautiful wedding and even more grateful for a life long friendship.

That mustard colored dress is perfection. You don’t have to have kids to schedule a lifestyle session. You don’t even have to be married. This sweet duo has been together for years and moved here together for a Montana adventure. Krystal and John are such an endearing couple, and I can’t wait to get them in front of my lens again.
