Niti & Aunoy's Wedding Album ~ Montana Wedding Photography

After a bit of delay while Niti finished her residency to become an emergency room physician, she & Aunoy are finally going to have a wedding album to remember their gorgeous wedding at the Madison Hotel in NJ. Yes, it was 2007 that I photographed their day and yes, it was on film before I went digital, but that doesn't mean that they can't have the most gorgeous Queensberry of New Zealand Duo-style wedding album, clocking in at 29 leaves with 148 photos. It's my pleasure to make my clients their wedding albums at anytime and help them remember all the wonderful moments for decades to come.

Update: Nick & Yireh ~ Montana Dog Photography

Smiles this time. To make up for everyone crying with the post on Nick & Sempi and Sempi's passing I went yesterday with Nick to get his new pup - Yireh Tihomir. Yireh: Hebrew for provider. Tihomir: Russian for silent peace. Yireh is an 8 week old Siberian Husky raised so far by Marty and Paul Bacon. The rest is now up to Nick who will have his hands full as he teaches Yireh how to stay out from under the wheels of his chair (or to at least not chew on them) and to one day run with him through the woods as they continue together the journeys and adventures that Nick started so many years and lifetimes ago with Sempi. Congrats Nick & Yireh! Looking forward to seeing you both strolling through the streets of Bigfork together.

New Press Printed Wedding Albums ~ Montana Wedding Photography

I am happy to announce that I am now offering a modern alternative to my line of wedding albums by Queensberry. Queensberry's press-printed books are of amazing quality with the images seemingly jumping off the printed page. These are not photographic prints like my other Queensberry albums, but are a great modern alternative using digital offset technology to create a hardback, perfect bound book.

I don't have my new sample Queensberry press book yet but below are the layouts and design for it featuring Megan & Ryan's wedding held here in Bigfork at the Flathead Lake Lodge this past summer. You can see more of Megan & Ryan's wedding here.

The cover features a wrap around image on the 10"x10" book and a translucent vellum page with titles at the start. The layout is clean and simple making the most of each image and allowing the story of the day to unfold with ease in the design.

If you have yet to order your wedding album please be in touch to find out more details and to see if this might be the right alternative for you.

Cold Winter Morning ~ Montana Dog & Pet Photography

The hardest thing to do is to get out of bed on a winter morning when your dog gets to sleep in and looks so cozy and comfortable. But getting up to get my camera to document it can be a big motivator.
