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 GRACE
Grace is a lifelong Flathead Valley local who grew up surrounded by the kind of landscapes people travel thousands of miles to see.
She picked up her first camera at 16 while learning the ropes of wedding photography—and she hasn’t looked back since. From mountaintop vows to quiet lakeside ceremonies, she’s built a career capturing couples in love in the place she calls home. Her approach is rooted in authenticity: she doesn’t believe in forced poses or cookie-cutter timelines. Instead, she’s all about helping couples create a day that reflects who they really are—whether that means hiking to a scenic overlook at sunrise, pausing for a mid-day cocktail at your favorite bar, or casting a line together before the ceremony.

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!
Tabby
Lead photographer & ultimate hype girl
