Years ago, I made the move to northwest Montana for love; I married a Montanan. I photograph to be outdoors more and to really live in a place where the mountains weren't a destination, but a daily reality. I got married along the river here, in a simple ceremony with the people I love, and it was one of the best days of my life. That day taught me something: the weddings that matter most are the ones that feel like you, in a place that feels alive.
You chose elopement because you want your day to feel like yours — real, unhurried, completely your own.
I'm based in northwest Montana, at the gateway to Glacier National Park, and I know this place intimately — the light, the seasons, the hidden corners. Love deserves to be felt in the places that take your breath away, don't you think? I believe the best wedding days are the ones you want to relive every anniversary.
I love all four seasons here — the wildflowers in late spring, the golden light in summer, the way the mountains shift in October and April when the shoulder season arrives and the tourists thin out. Those are the moments when the mountains feel like they're yours alone. I know these mountains in every light, every weather, every mood. I know the permits and the seasons, the hidden corners and the iconic overlooks. That knowledge is what I bring to every elopement I photograph — not just someone documenting your day, but someone who knows the place you chose.
Tender in the Wild is exactly what it sounds like — love, documented in wild places.
It's about choosing a day that feels like yours, in a place that takes your breath away, with someone who knows it as well as you know your own heart.
— Living at the gateway to Glacier, and yes, the wild still gives me butterflies
— Vintage trucks, brass hardware, worn wood — drawn to things with a history
— Pack in, pack out. Leave no trace. Respect nature.
The best moments live just past the edge of comfort. I'll help you find yours.

The mountains are there. All that's missing is you.
