Dinner at the Boat Club at Lodge at Whitefish Lake but first, a stroll by the water! 💍 Curt had Kailey convinced he wasn’t going to propose…and then he did! Her reaction was amazing! 🥹

Fall colors, incredible light, reflections on the lake, and birds flying by at sunset—such a perfect evening! 🍂✨

Kailey’s a flight attendant, so we had plenty to talk about—travel adventures, flying standby, and the whole culture that comes with it! ✈️🌎 And they live in Banff, so we connected over mountain town life, too! 🏔️ Had an absolute blast with these two!

Congratulations, Kailey and Curtis! 🥂💛 Here’s to a lifetime of adventure together!

Most of my wedding couples come to Whitefish from out of town, so there was something extra special about photographing Caleb and Christine Phillips wedding right here in their hometown!

From the familiar faces to the laid-back vibe and the energy of their friends and family, the whole day felt like the Whitefish I know and love. 🍂🏔️💛

Caleb and Christina were so easy to be around, and everything felt chill from the start. Caleb’s dad, Don, is a great friend of my mom’s and mine, so it was extra fun to celebrate his son’s wedding with him! 🥂

They got married on Saturday in a field at a home here in town, surrounded by friends, family, and those amazing October colors. 🍁 Such cool people and such a beautiful setting!

Days like this make my job feel like a dream. I loved getting creative with these two, and I’m SO excited to share a few favorites from their day! 📸✨

Congratulations, Caleb and Christina! I can’t wait to see you around town—and Christina, let’s get out for some rollerblading! 🛼😊💛

Renee reached out months ago, and we’ve been planning, talking, and planning some more ever since! Getting to finally see her propose last night was so exciting! 💍

We chose the wooden dock at Apgar, with Lake McDonald and the Glacier mountains behind them. It was a cloudy, moody, dreamy evening—and what an amazing backdrop for a YES!

After she said YES- it was time to explore, catch some fall color, and pop the ch*****ne! These two were such a blast. Renee Stopherd ATC, CPT and alexandrasantangelo, I’m so stoked for you both! 🥂🏔️.

Can’t wait to see what your future brings- I always say a couple who adventures together stays together- even if one of you would prefer the adventure to involve a little less hiking 🥾🤣

LAKE McDONALD | PROPOSAL | DREW + DYLAN 💍

Drew Filchner and Dylan McGuire were driving from Salt Lake City to Banff and planned an overnight stop in Glacier National Park. Drew had a feeling something was up—but she didn’t know exactly when Dylan would propose.

The plan was set - an evening stroll around Lake McDonald before dinner.

Before they arrived to Lake McDonald, I had a mission: clear the dock! Everyone on the docks and the surrounding area was super stoked to move and be involved in the plan!

Then Dylan led Drew onto the empty dock at Lake McDonald, got down on one knee—and she said YES!

Swipe to slide two to watch it all go down! 🎥- and keep swiping to check out the RING …omg the ring! 🤯💍

A little Saturday surprise at The Lodge at Whitefish Lake! 💍❤️

Ethan and Lauren Zemke drove over from Spokane for a night in Whitefish — exploring town, dinner plans at the Boat Club Lodge at Whitefish Lake and a little something extra planned before dinner. 😉

While I casually hung out in a lawn chair on the beach pretending I had absolutely nothing to do with anything 😂, Ethan got down on one knee.

She was SO surprised… and she said YES! 💍🥂

Afterward, we wandered around the Lodge, ventured right into Whitefish Lake, and then headed to a few of my favorite spots around town for some just-engaged photos in the aspens and mountain fields.

Such a fun evening with these two. Congratulations, Ethan + Lauren Zemke ! ❤️🏔️

Months of planning for one very important question… 💍🏔️

Cullen Domingue reached out months ago to plan a surprise proposal at Big Bend in Glacier National Park, and from there, the secret planning began.

We went over the location, timing and logistics. I sent videos so he knew exactly where to go, and even dropped off radios ahead of time because cell service in Glacier is mostly nonexistent.

Then came proposal morning.

Once I had safely driven past where they were staying, I sent Cullen the message:

“Okay, you’re free to leave!”

I headed into Glacier to get into position.
Right before I lost cell service, I checked his location one last time…and watched him turn up the North Fork instead of heading into Glacier toward Going-to-the-Sun Road. 😳

For a moment, I had NO idea what to do. Turn around and chase him? Keep going? Trust the plan?

I kept going.

At that point, all I could do was trust that somehow we were both going to end up at Big Bend. 😂

And sure enough…a little while later, there they were.

Turns out, Cullen had come in via Camas Road.

Crisis averted. We were right on time and everything was going exactly as planned. 💍

After months of planning, Cullen got down on one knee beneath the mountains at Big Bend…

and she said YES. ❤️💍

Then we got to celebrate with engagement photos throughout Glacier, from Going-to-the-Sun Road to Lake McDonald.

This is why I love photographing Glacier National Park proposals. So much happens behind the scenes before that one incredible moment — choosing the location, timing everything perfectly, navigating Glacier traffic, keeping the secret, and making sure I’m exactly where I need to be.

Congratulations to these two — what a picture-perfect Glacier day! ❤️

Not every wedding needs a ballroom.

Sometimes all you need is the people who mean the most, a mountaintop, and Glacier National Park putting on an incredible show in the distance.

With her three daughters by their side, these two exchanged vows at the summit of Whitefish Mountain Resort. The girls even created all of the bouquets themselves, and they turned out beautiful.

We celebrated with mountaintop portraits, a “just married” chairlift ride, golden fields, and the shores of Lodge at Whitefish Lake before they ended the evening with dinner at Whitefish Lake Restaurant.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! ❤️

💍 Proposal season has been keeping me busy, and I’m excited to share this amazing moment from a few nights ago at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake.

Alex Emanuel planned the perfect surprise while visiting Montana with Annie Leenheers entire family from Chicago. Her parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews were all part of the plan, and about 40 minutes after she said yes, they joined in the celebration!

We originally planned to use the dock, but after days of rain, part of it was underwater, so we made a quick change and found another beautiful spot along the lake.
Before getting down on one knee, Alex shared a few words with Annie. She was so excited, and the smile on her face says it all.

One of my favorite details was Annie’s cowboy hat from KEMO SABE. While they were in Whitefish, she had their dog Otto branded into it, and it ended up being part of the proposal too. 🐾🤠

Congratulations, Alex & Annie! Wishing you both a lifetime of adventures together. 💙

💍❤️
