The Hive
for a Wild Montana Wedding
Some examples of you doing YOU!
- You want your wedding to be an experience, not a photoshoot.
- Bring your dog!
- Splurge on a 2 day wedding, one day for you and the fam, the second day for an adventure with your honey!
- A sparkler exit? What about a jumping off a dock? WHAT ABOUT BOTH!
- Come in hiking boots then quick change into converse.
- For that TINY voice in your head that says "wouldn't it be cool if I...", we say "SAY IT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!"
- Seriously, it is YOUR day. YOURS! Let's do it your way.
At Honeybee Weddings we do more than take pretty pictures. We help you craft an unforgettable experience you'll get to relive again and again by creating images that show how the day felt, not just what it looked like.
You do this your way.

heirloom wedding albums to hold your memories
It is our mission to provide tangible validation of the love that exists in people’s lives through beautiful imagery. We want our couples to look back on their wedding album on their first, 10th, 50th anniversary and see the unfiltered love and emotion staring back at them. We want those moments to freeze time and live on forever. During the hard times of marriage, we want the images from the “best day ever” to give our couple strength and comfort to face all the challenges life throws their way.

REVIEW NO. 2 of 2
Work with Kelsey!
I'm the girl you can find cooking new recipes, trying not to kill my houseplants, and obsessing over adventure. I'm happiest on top of the mountain, beer in hand with my hot husband. Humor (and cupcakes) are the way to my heart.
I'm a visionary so while I'm here to make your wedding look pretty, I also look for ways to make the elements of YOU stand out! Cookie cutters are for Holidays not for weddings.
My little black book of vendors list includes everything. Yes, everything, remember we don't shy away from saying what we mean here. Craft beer trucks, truly one of kind invitations, the fullest grazing boards, hopping DJs, firepits, QUALITY florals. Whatever you can dream up, I got a girl. Your wedding is going to be EXACTLY what you deserve, pixie dust included.

Work with Erin
Meet Erin, just a nature loving, hunting and fishing, mama to two little ones and two puppies; a 10 year old Border Collie and 5 year old Yellow Lab. I'm f'ing stoked to be a part of your special day. I will definitely be crying during your vows, hyping you up to make you feel beautiful, and probably cracking a few jokes here and there.
Although I was born in Utah, I consider myself a Montana Native. My family moved to Kalispell when I was six, and Montana is the only place I will ever call home. This state seals my love for the outdoors and God's Country. I have grown up fly fishing the Flathead River and it'll only take "three more years to think like a fish". ;) If you know where that quote is from, we should be besties!

work with Landon
Landon picked up his mom's iphone camera when he was 12 and the rest is history. He always have a camera in his hands and thrives creating art. He 10/10 recommends running through the woods on your wedding day and throwing your hands in the air like you just don't care. Photography gives him a sense of purpose and capturing connection between his couples is his favorite part of the wedding day.
Your experience with Landon will be like being an adventure of a lifetime with your best friend. He thrives on fresh experiences and adventuring to new heights (literally). He empowers you to celebrate your commitment to each other in the most intimate, personally unique, and adventurous way that means the most to you.

Work with TABBY
Tabby is all about your love and your dogs! She has four dogs of her own Piper (Border Collie), Diesel (Min Pin), Gunner and Koda (pit mixes). Camping in the mountains is her favorite part of summer, besides weddings and elopements of course! If you're ready for a new best friend, Tabby is here to be your number one fan, make you feel comfortable behind the camera and do lots of laughing along the way!
She loves every part of elopements! The love, the time for photos, the laughs and the great memories! She believes that your experience on your special day is the first and most important part of the day. Photos are obviously important, but she wants to make sure when you look back at your photos that those great memories go along with them!
