Amy and Colin


Last weekend I headed back to The Resort at Paws Up to photograph Amy and Colin's beautiful March wedding. The weather was gorgeous! Maybe a little cold for the group from L.A. but a nice Montana spring day... all things considered.



We were able to spend a little time together on Friday afternoon before the rehearsal for a little fun in the snow...





Then onto the big day. The staff at Paws Up did not disappoint. They provided their usual amazing service, thank you, thank you! The afternoon started with a little primping and pampering, a little bubbly and lots of fun. The ceremony was held in "Trough" and was offficiated by the couple's friend/brother-in-law Jon. He did such a great job making the ceremony very personal for Amy and Colin.


After a champagne toast we ran outside for a few quick (cold) shots in front of the mountains. Thanks for braving the cold Amy and Colin, I know it's not balmy CA!
Next, everyone headed in for cocktails and a scrumptious dinner, followed by dancing and fun. The great band the Tom Cats from Missoula really tore it up.


Congratulations Amy and Colin and thanks so much for choosing me to capture your wedding day!

Spring

So... here's a bit of real life for you...

We are into calving season on the ranch which means that these wonderful, new black velvety calves are coming into the world on a very regular basis. It's a very busy time of year for us but also one of my favorite seasons. I brought my camera along yesterday afternoon and took a few shots to share. Sometimes the cows need a little extra help during the birth. That's what is happing in a few of the pictures. The last few images are of a special little calf that the girls have befriended and named "coffee" (Otherwise known as 6403). He likes them as much as they like him!

We are so blessed to be able to share this way of life with our children.

The images can be viewed here
