If you're looking for a wedding photographer in Montana, Julie is the one. She’s incredibly talented, not only with photography but also with planning and organization. We didn’t have to worry about a thing — she had everything perfectly outlined, which let us focus on enjoying our day. The photos were stunning, and her use of light was remarkable.

Stephanie and Vance are absolutely incredible! Our wedding was a little over a year ago and I can't think of anything that went wrong that they weren't able to make right again! They were so much more than the photographers for our special day. They were the coordinators, the organizers, the planners, etc. We look back at our wedding day and both think it really couldn't have gone any better, and it's all thanks to Vande Studios! Also, my grandpa recently passed away and we found quite a few photos of him at the wedding. They also captured a photo of him and his wife dancing that I was able to share with her and she said it was the last time they had danced together! We love you guys! Thank you so much for everything!

Vic is an incredible photographer. When we started looking into finding the perfect photographer for our wedding, I wasn't really sure what to look for. I am so happy we found her. She called me and explained to me her entire process and what to expect during our big day. I really appreciate that she has a vision and makes it come to life in her photos. She is such a kind person and very easy to get along with. Many compliments from our wedding party on how great she was. She was also very quick to edit and deliver our photos. Would highly recommend & will definitely be referring her from now on.

To put it plainly, photography brings me joy. Being able to capture a couple's wedding day through photos is something I view as sacred, important, and deserving of my deep attention. Photos are our only souvenir, so to truly tell a love story through photos requires effort, understanding, attention, and genuine interest. When I'm working a wedding, I'm not simply pointing my camera and clicking a button. I am focusing on every detail, moment (big and small), gesture, tear, expression, sequin, and shine. For that reason, I love to work with couples whose wedding vision I can connect to and who allow me to help them see it through.

Bailey and Alexa are such down to earth, fun and creative souls to work with and even though we just met them upon their arrival to our wedding, it felt like we had known them forever. They fit in perfectly for the day and we would 100% recommend to any and everyone!!! They provide a wonderful experience, are quick on their feet (even through March snow in the Rockies ;) and have great insight for the best day of your life! Book with them asap!

If she’s not your best friend before, she will be after! I came to Lauren wanting some celebratory 30th birthday lifestyle-esque photos and she brought my vision to LIFE! She had great ideas, heard what I was hoping to accomplish, and truly made the whole experience for me!!! She was so kind, professional, and really encouraged me to embrace the moment. These are the best photos I have had taken of me in years and it will definitely be a tradition I continue!

I am a travel photographer based out of Louisville, Kentucky. I have always been the friend with the camera admiring those around me.

Kaitlyn Carter Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, Kaitlyn was responsive, easy-going, but also very professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, her calm and friendly presence was so comforting, and she captured every moment beautifully - from the small, intimate details as we were getting ready to the larger, posed family shots. The quality of Kaitlyn's work is simply stunning, with a documentary-style approach and gorgeous natural lighting that perfectly encapsulated the passion and love of our special day. We are thrilled with the photos from our engagement session and wedding day and couldn't recommend Kaitlyn Carter Photography more highly.

I'm McKenna and at Alder & Pine, I specialize in candid and emotive wedding photography. I love the energy of every special moment that comes with weddings. The perfect day begins with you; your originality, taste, and style which inspires everything that I do. I strive to illustrate your love story through my lens, providing you with a beautiful collection of images

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t know if I can adequately express how absolutely in love I am with the wedding photos McKenna (and her associate, Kymber) did for my (now) husband and I. I will forever sing her praises because of how immensely professional, kind, sweet, and talented she is. My spouse and I decided that we wanted to elope in Glacier National Park, and had a fairly short engagement leading up to the day. Though we had been to Glacier a few times before, we weren’t entirely familiar with which locations would be best for photos and ceremony sites. McKenna was so great and patient walking us through possible locations and recommendations on the phone months before our wedding. She’s so knowledgeable about the area, we always felt like we were in good hands with her. McKenna also stayed in contact throughout our engagement and was great at touching base to ensure we were all on the same page. She went above and beyond to ensure that we had the perfect day logistically as well as aesthetically. The day of our wedding was filled with intermittent rain, which McKenna took in absolute stride. She was so positive and bubbly, and we barely noticed the rain and cold. She was also great at giving instructions for poses, but also incredible at capturing candid moments (my favorite). My spouse and I are not at all confident in posing or taking photos, and to be perfectly honest, I even wondered several times during the wedding planning phase if I should not have a photographer for my wedding at all because I didn’t know if I’d love the photos. I’M SO GLAD I DID. I feel nothing but joy looking though these photos. McKenna’s photography style is bright and timeless, and captures all of the love that I have for my spouse and for that day as a whole. McKenna is incredible and one of the best photographers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. So, if you’re considering working with McKenna for your wedding- just do it already. She’s really such a gem and you’ll be so glad you did.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

Mahdi was voted our best vendor at our wedding! By us and by friends that got to know him. From our first phone call I was like, man this guy is cool and relaxed. I'm also pretty relaxed but obviously this can change on your wedding day, so having a laid back photographer was perfect for me. He arrived a bit early to set up and we chatted a bit and he went straight to work and my bridal party loved him right away. I would recommend Mahdi to anyone looking someone to perfectly capture their day or even just capture the moment. You will not find a nicer, more professional, or fun person to help you to remember the most important day of your life.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

I was lucky enough to connect with Becca on Instagram. We had one call and I just knew she was the photographer for us. I didn't meet with anyone else, you spend all day with your photographer so you really want to connect with them, and we hit it off right away. Becca's energy is so lively, loving, and genuine. She made everyone feel at ease and happy- so many folks- from our guests, family, and our wedding party- RAVED about her during and after! We had a wonderful engagement shoot so I knew the wedding day would be the same. Honestly, I am so grateful people in my life had the opportunity to meet Becca- I think she really set a bar for folks in their minds of what a wedding photographer should be like! When she walked in on the wedding day I was so excited to see her and I felt the same all day long. If you want a photographer who will liven up the group, bring their A-game, connect with you and your guests, deliver your images quickly, and feel more like a friend than a vendor- Becca is the photographer for you!
