Lander and John

I had so much fun photographing Lander and John's wedding at Chico Hot Springs in Pray, Montana. Lander was an absolutely radiant bride. She was so happy, excited and relaxed the entire day.
Lander and her mom.
The bridesmaids were John's sisters, Crissy and Meghan. Meghan is a very talented wedding and portrait photographer in LA.
Crissy's son, James.
Linda Thompson, a photographer for the Missoulian newspaper, was kind enough to share her awesome talent and help me photograph Lander and John's wedding. The next four images are hers. Thanks, Linda!

Here are John and his dad getting ready.
I love this shot of John and his brother.

John and Lander's bridal party were their siblings. Very cool.






I met Lander and John through Katy and Ian. They are good friends of mine and I photographed their wedding in March 2008.

John's dad played and sang a beautiful song during the ceremony.

Emigrant Peak was the backdrop for the ceremony.


Their mom's, Mary Beth and Patty, walking down the aisle together after the ceremony.

John's brother gave a great toast.

We were able to take a few more portraits during the reception.




First dance.
Everyone had fun dancing!

Jacob

Jacob is Jason's cousin and was visiting from Spokane, WA. He'll be a senior this year and is thinking about going to the University of Montana next fall. He was more reserved in front of the camera than his cousin, but we still had good time and got some fun photos too.
