Welcome

I'm so glad you're here.

I understand that your wedding day is a truly special and momentous occasion. I believe that every couple deserves to have their precious moments beautifully captured, preserving the memories that will last a lifetime.

As a wedding and lifestyle photographer, I am dedicated to providing you with exceptional service, creativity, and professionalism. This guide is designed to help you understand my photography approach and how your special day might go.

Three Things About Me

Hi, I'm Sarah!

01

I'm a storyteller at heart.

Weddings are full of the tiny, fleeting moments that make your day unforgettable—the soft glances, belly laughs, and quiet in-between moments. My approach is calm, intentional, and focused on documenting your day as it naturally unfolds so you can relive it for years to come.

02

I'm a wife, mama of three, and an Air Force veteran.

Family and connection mean everything to me, and that's the foundation of how I photograph. I understand how meaningful these chapters of life are, and I'm honored every time a couple invites me into theirs.

03

Your photos should feel timeless and true to you.

My style blends authenticity with a warm, romantic aesthetic—earthy tones, natural posing, and genuine emotion. I'm here to make you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present on your wedding day.

Montana Weddings + Elopements

Your story, beautifully told.

A laid-back, intentional wedding photography experience centered around real moments, natural connection, and photographs that feel like your wedding day actually felt.

The Experience

Your wedding should feel like your wedding.

I want you to be able to look back at your gallery and remember the way everything felt, not just what it looked like. My approach is lifestyle and documentary-inspired, with gentle direction whenever you need it.

01

Candid first

I pay attention to the little in-between moments: happy tears, tight hugs, reactions, movement, laughter, dance-floor chaos, and all the things you may not even realize are happening.

02

Guided when needed

You never have to wonder what to do with your hands. I’ll step in for portraits, fix the little things, and guide you without making your photos feel stiff or overly posed.

03

Built around you

Your timeline, location, family, light, priorities, and the way you want to spend your day all matter. Photography should fit into your wedding day, not take it over.

From Inquiry to Gallery

What working together looks like.

I’m here for more than the hours I’m holding a camera. From deciding how much coverage you need to building a timeline that actually makes sense, I’ll help you feel prepared before your wedding day arrives.

01

Inquire

Tell me your date, location, what you’re planning, and what matters most to you.

02

Make it official

A signed contract and 30% retainer officially reserve your date.

03

Plan together

We’ll talk timeline, locations, family photos, lighting, travel, and anything else that affects your coverage.

04

Engagement session

Included with select collections. It’s a chance to get comfortable together before the wedding.

05

Wedding day

I’ll guide when needed, document what unfolds, and keep an eye on all of the little things.

06

Sneak peeks

You’ll receive a first look at your wedding photos while I carefully work through your full gallery.

07

Your gallery

Your final edited images are delivered in an online gallery made for downloading, sharing, and reliving the day.

08

Keep them forever

Download your high-resolution files and back them up somewhere safe so your story stays with you for years.

Wedding Collections

More coverage does not mean more posing. It usually means more room to breathe, more of the story documented, and less pressure to squeeze important moments into a tiny window.

Coverage Guide

How many hours do you actually need?

There isn’t one answer for every wedding. Ceremony length, getting-ready coverage, multiple locations, family photos, wedding party size, travel, and how much of the reception you want documented all affect the amount of time that makes sense.

4 Hours

Best for elopements, courthouse weddings, or very intimate celebrations with a simple timeline and limited reception coverage.

6 Hours

A great fit if you want the ceremony, portraits, and the main reception events documented without a lot of getting-ready coverage.

8 Hours

A strong starting point for many traditional weddings. This usually allows time for getting ready, ceremony, portraits, and the main reception moments.

10 Hours

Ideal for longer timelines, multiple locations, fuller getting-ready coverage, longer ceremonies, or couples who want more of the reception documented.

Still unsure? That is completely normal. Once I know your ceremony time, locations, travel, family list, and reception plans, I can help you figure out which collection makes the most sense for your day.

Engagement Sessions

Think date night, not photoshoot.

Your engagement session is a chance to get comfortable in front of my camera before the wedding. I’ll guide you, but I also want it to feel like the two of you.

Wear what feels like you.

Coordinate instead of matching. Neutrals, denim, layers, earthy tones, and texture photograph beautifully, but your outfits should still feel like your style.

Make it personal.

Grab coffee, walk downtown, explore the mountains, bring your dog, have a picnic, or keep it simple with a beautiful location and good light.

Trust the prompts.

You do not need to practice poses. I’ll give you prompts and direction that create movement and connection without making everything feel overly posed.

Timeline Planning

Enough structure to keep things easy.

Wedding days almost always take a little longer than expected. Building in realistic time gives you room to breathe and lets us protect the parts of the day that matter most.

Example: 8 Hours + First Look

1:00 PMDetails + finishing touches
1:45 PMGetting ready photos
2:30 PMFirst look + couple portraits
3:15 PMWedding party + family
4:30 PMHide away / guests arrive
5:00 PMCeremony
5:30 PMCocktail hour / just-married portraits
6:30 PMReception entrance + dinner
7:30 PMToasts + formal dances
8:15 PMOpen dancing + sunset portraits if light allows
9:00 PMCoverage ends

Example: 8 Hours, No First Look

1:00 PMDetails + finishing touches
1:45 PMGetting ready photos
2:30 PMSeparate wedding-party photos
3:30 PMSeparate family combinations
4:30 PMHide away / guests arrive

5:30 PMFull family + wedding party
6:30 PMCouple portraits
7:15 PMReception entrance + dinner
8:15 PMToasts + formal dances + some dancing
9:00 PMCoverage ends

These are examples only. Your actual timeline will be built around your ceremony time, locations, travel, family list, and priorities.

FAQ

A few things couples ask me.

How do we officially book?

A signed contract and 30% retainer reserve your wedding date. Once both are completed, your date is officially yours.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. After the 30% retainer is paid, monthly payment plans can be set up for the remaining balance. The final payment is due three weeks before your wedding day.

How do we know how much coverage to choose?

Start with the parts of the day you care about most. Once I know your ceremony time, locations, family list, reception plans, and travel between locations, I can help you decide whether 4, 6, 8, or 10 hours makes the most sense.

Do you photograph weddings outside Great Falls?

Yes. I’m based in Great Falls and photograph weddings and elopements throughout Montana. We’ll talk through any travel details when you inquire.

Do we have to know how to pose?

Not at all. I’ll give you direction when you need it, but my goal is for your images to still feel natural, comfortable, and like you.

Can you help with our timeline?

Absolutely. Timeline help is part of the experience. I’ll help make sure we have realistic time for the photos that matter to you without making your entire wedding feel like one long photoshoot.

How long does it take to receive our full gallery?

Your full wedding gallery is delivered within 6–8 weeks. I’ll also send sneak peeks within a few days so you have something to enjoy while I finish the full gallery.

Do we receive print rights?

Yes. Your images come with print release rights, and your online gallery includes a built-in store for ordering professional prints, albums, and wall art.

Ready When You Are
