Montana is a beautiful wedding destination that attracts
couples from all around the country.
I feel so lucky to live here with my amazing wife and work in a profession that enables us to
explore this beautiful area. All of
these photos are from a recent engagement session adventure to Tofino, British
Columbia. Naturally, my wife and I
took the scenic route, exploring Idaho, Washington, the Palouse, the Olympic
Peninsula, Pacific Rim National Park Canada, Sea to Sky Highway Canada, Banff
National Park Canada, Glacier National Park USA, and we drove up and down
Western Montana on two different routes.
We saw bears, bald and golden eagles, elk, mountain goats, a coyote, a
fox and birds galore. We spent
some time with our awesome clients, Jenny and Daniel, who took us to some
beautiful beaches, canoeing to a tiny lake island, and to two amazing seafood restaurants
(and an equally impressive food truck that serves poutine). I can’t wait for the wedding adventure
we’ll have in Big Sky Montana this summer. We made some beautiful engagement photos right on the
Pacific Ocean. It was a dream week with my wife, who had never been West of Bozeman Montana, had never seen
the Pacific Ocean and had never been to Idaho, Washington, or Canada. I’m so lucky to have a partner like her
to explore with! She’s also the navigator and she watches to make sure bears and mountain lions don’t sneak up
behind me while I’m making photos!
So here’s a few photos I’m grateful to have made with her.
We found these snowy foggy trees and pristine pond in
Kootenay National Park Canada. We
stopped to read a sign about a mother grizzly and two cubs that were in the
area, and that we found soon after.
It was very refreshing to spend some time in the magnificent
Canadian Rockies, but my favorite mountain photo of the trip was this black and
white of the Howe Ridge from Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park Montana.
After being in the mountains for days, it was nice to return
to the prairie of Western Montana and be greeted with a beautiful prairie sunset
near Judith Gap Montana.
