From historic downtown Helena to the mountains that surround it, I photograph weddings with an approach that is both relaxed and intentional. By combining gentle guidance with a documentary eye, I create images that feel genuine, effortless, and unmistakably you.
Every couple experiences their wedding day differently, and I believe your photographs should reflect that. As a Helena wedding photographer, I focus on capturing the moments that matter most to you while creating an experience that feels relaxed, enjoyable, and stress-free.
Rather than constantly pulling you away from your guests, I balance gentle guidance with a documentary approach. This allows you to stay present throughout the day while still receiving beautifully crafted portraits and authentic candid moments. From the anticipation before the ceremony to the celebration that follows, every part of your story deserves to be documented with care.
Long after the wedding is over, my hope is that your photographs do more than show you what happened. They help you remember exactly how it felt to be there.
The flowers fade, the cake gets eaten, but your photographs last forever—so it’s worth trusting more than just your cousin with a camera.

The best wedding photographs don't just show what happened. They bring you back to how it felt. As a Helena wedding photographer, I focus on preserving the genuine emotions, meaningful details, and unforgettable moments that make your wedding day one of a kind.
From the anticipation leading up to the proposal to the excitement that follows, every second matters. Whether you're proposing in Helena or somewhere special in Montana, I'll help preserve the moment naturally and discreetly so you can focus entirely on each other while I document the story unfolding.
There is something incredibly meaningful about choosing a wedding day that reflects who you are as a couple. Whether you're eloping in the mountains surrounding Helena or sharing a quiet ceremony with your closest loved ones, I'll create photographs that feel authentic, timeless, and deeply personal.
Every wedding collection includes a handcrafted fine art album designed to bring your Helena wedding story to life. More than a keepsake, it's a piece of your family's history that allows you to relive your favorite moments long after the celebration has ended.

Because I don't believe in making you buy the photos after you've already paid for me to photograph your wedding day, I send you every good photo I take to your email in a free online gallery.
That's completely up to you!
My collections start at 6 hours.
As far as you want me to! And all wedding collections include complimentary travel within the state of Montana.
I do! My husband Dario is my second shooter and I trust him as much as I trust myself.
Yes I do!
Your wedding day is of the highest importance to me, so I make sure to pack an extra camera just in case my initial one faces problems.
I am a natural light photographer, so as long as we can see the sun, we're good! Usually wide open spaces are best so there's nothing overhead blocking the sun from giving us that gorgeous, dreamy light.
I do when lighting situations call for it, such as a dark reception or ceremony area.
Any sort of dress or skirt.
It adds a beautiful element to the photos that I love and I'm sure you will too!
With mountain views, historic charm, and beautiful outdoor spaces, Helena offers a variety of stunning engagement session locations. Whether you envision a quiet forest setting, sweeping vistas, or a location that holds personal meaning, I'll help you find the perfect backdrop for your session. (Historic downtown is personally my favorite!)
