Engagement photos - Travis & Lindsey - Montana Wedding in April at the Grouse Mountain Lodge in Whitefish

2009-03-09T12:38:00.000-07:00

What a wonderful and very fun couple! Thank you Travis and Lindsey for making this engagement shoot so full of adventure. I shot this couple up in Glacier National Park on one of the few sunny days we have had. It was perfect, they were full of energy and up for anything from snowball fights, railroad tracks, to snowshoeing. As you can see the love between these two shines through in every image. I am very anxious to photograph the wedding which will take place this April at the Grouse Mountain Lodge in Whitefish, Montana. Weddings of all seasons can still happen in Montana!

Lodge at Whitefish Lake Wedding - Whitefish MT

2009-03-02T18:01:00.000-08:00

Cameron & Stacia Fisher of Seattle WA, married February 28 , 2009 at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake http://www.lodgeatwhitefish.com/ . Hum - seems to be a trend here. If you have read any of this blog you already know what I think of the Lodge - we shoot there often & once again the host did not disappoint. The Fishers had a fantastic group from all over the world, here for the whole week & Whitefish - Flathead Valley did not disappoint. New Zealand - Australia - Luxembourg and Whitefish of course, were some of the areas represented at this grand event. It was an amazing blue bird day here in the valley and it came right at the perfect time. Stacia's beautiful gown and accessories were selected from http://www.belltownbride.com/ . http://www.birdcageveils.com/ And what party would be complete without a little help from our good friends at http://www.northwestpartyrentals.com/ . I must say that this celebration was not about the food or the cake or even the location. It was all about this new family that had been created on a global scale & how appreciative and blessed they all felt, but not only did they feel this - they showed it to one another. The pints were a flowing - everyone had their dancing shoes on and Mobil Beat kept them all on the floor.

Good job Mates!!
