{Justin + Ashley} Montana Wedding Photographer

I first met Justin and Ashley when I drove over to Spokane for their engagement session.  While they reside in Spokane now...Ashley grew up in Montana and so their wedding was going to be here.  As a photographer, new and different locations are always a great thing because it just means that your portfolio can grow that much more!  So, I jumped at the chance to drive on over to Spokane and do their engagement shoot.  Keep that in mind when you are deciding on who your wedding photographer will be, and make sure that they are willing to go the extra mile to make your wedding photography extra special.

In the small amount of time I spent with Justin and Ashley during their engagement session, I just knew that their wedding was going to be a blast!!  They are a fun couple to be around, full of wit and humor!!  And their wedding didn't disappoint.  My husband came with me because the wedding happened to be on his birthday, and we didn't want to spend the entire day apart.  They welcomed him at the wedding with open arms, and we had a great time together.  Josh is an excellent photographer himself, and since he was there...he took over most of the duties with my second camera.

Ashley and her bridal party got ready in a lovely suite at Fairmont Hot Springs, and then we proceeded to the Anaconda Country Club for the ceremony and reception.  Ashley went with a subdued color scheme of light green and white, and it was beautiful with the natural backdrop the venue provided.  After the ceremony, the four of us took a golf cart out and shot their portraits.  We had so much fun while doing it, and I just know that if these two lived in Missoula we would be great friends!! 

Here is a look into the wedding day of Justin & Ashley.  I hope you enjoy how images from their beautiful wedding day.
As Josh and I left and headed back to our room at Fairmont Hot Springs, the sun was setting over Anaconda.  The coloring was spectacular, and the smoke stack that Anaconda is famous for was perfectly silhouetted.  We pulled over and took these shots, one a 10x30 landscape and the other just a normal sized shot, so that Justin & Ashley would also have an image of how amazing the entire day of their wedding was.  Right down to the sunset that God provided.  

I hope that you have enjoyed a glimpse into the wonderful day that we celebrated Justin & Ashley.  We had such a wonderful time shooting this wedding, and just hanging out with the two of them.  They are really such amazing people! 

Until later,
