(02.18.09 @ 12:29AM)We took off North along the Bridger Mountains and pulled over whenever we saw a location we liked... which was quite often since it is such a scenic drive and it was an absolute gorgeous day! We were so stoked on the sunshine! We ended the shoot at sunset in Wilsall where we stopped in at the Bank bar for some snacks and a beer. An awesome engagement session!
Marcus and Kelly, you guys are fabulous!
wow. wow. and wow. love everything about this shoot. the people...the locations...the emotions...perfection baby.
(02.09.09 @ 7:44PM)Ok.... so. Kelly and Marcus. I've decided to give you two the most handsome couple award of 2009. You traveled around the world to meet each other after having lives that nearly crossed in the states. It's so amazing how the universe conspires to bring folks together. On the other hand, I think it is fabulous that only had to travel a few blocks to find Lauren Brown. She has so captured your spirit and beauty. I am amazed at the raw talent that comes out of this woman, and with whom I am proud to be associated with in business, and as my dear frined. See you for beers again soon. Larry

(11.20.09 @ 5:52PM)At any rate, Cody's long time boyfriend, Dominic is always with her when she is in Montana. Dominic just got a new puppy. He's a English Setter and about the cutest coolest little dog I've ever met (don't tell Lucca dog). His name is Wiley Mountain Wingman, Wiley for short. Anyways, there were over here at the studio the other day and we took the doggies for a walk. He was way wound up, running through the snow and grass. After walks, he hit the pillow and becomes a putty dog. Seriously, when he falls asleep, you can do anything and everything to him.
So darn cute! I am such a sucker for animals.
LOVE THESE!! What great shots Lauren and the cutest puppy ever!!
(01.30.09 @ 9:34AM)The rented an authentic Yellowstone Park Jammer Bus. It was super old and super cool. They loaded the wedding party and me into the bus and headed to Chico for the reception. It had no heat and only canvas covering our heads, so everyone stayed warm under blankets and with celebratory cocktails. We stopped at Malards Rest for pics. The light was georgous, the mood was festive and the bus was a great accessory to the backdrop.
Rhianna wore a August Jones, Chenoa gown from Avant Bridal, a veil by Jennifer Leigh
a Marabou feather wrap provided by Katalin Green, shoes by Anne Klein, garter by Annette Picarillo and jewerly by Debra Moreland (Paris) The bouquet & wardrobe styling was beautifully provided by Katalin Green.
There are tons of photos of Rhianna... I couldn't help it! She's just so beautiful and fun... not to mention a total ham!
Jennie Lynn and Meggan of Blubird Images helped me out. A good handful of these shots are theirs. You can view more of their photos from the wedding if you visit the Blubird Blog.
WOW. There's just something about your eye/camera/style/perspective that takes off to a whole new level with each wedding. Just beautiful, Lauren. And the DETAILS. YUMMMMYYY!!!!
