sneak preview: jason and sarah

This weekend I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Sarah Nix and Jason Pastrana. Their families were wonderfully welcoming and everyone was ready to celebrate. I had a fantastic time and can't wait to share more photos. Till then, here is a sneak peak of their portrait session on the driftwood beach on Jekyll Island, Georgia. Congrats you two!

I love a good wedding party who really knows how to celebrate. These folks did which made shooting their reception that much more fun. From cocktails at sunset on Whitefish Lake to the dinner and dancing afterward, they had a fantastic evening full of fun and memorable moments with family and friends.

I don't think David and Melissa could have asked for a prettier day to get married. September in Montana is beyond beautiful. Just after tourist season but just before it's turns nippy and cold. Thanks guys for sharing your beautiful ceremony with us! More images to come from the reception.

Lido spent time with David the groom at the Green Valley Ranch before there ceremony while he got dressed, played some pool and hung out with friends and family. The ranch itself also served as the location or the wedding ceremony before the bridal party and guests attended the reception at The Lodge at Whitefish Lake.




Up Next: The Ceremony....

Lido and I had the chance to shoot David and Melissa's wedding in September. They were so super nice and it really was a beautiful event. They have recently relocated to Montana from the East Coast and their wedding really took advantage of all that the Flathead Valley has to offer in the fall.

I think getting ready images are often my favorite shots from weddings. All the preparation and details start to come together. The last minutes of anticipation before the walk down the isle are often a blur for the wedding party. It's nice to have photos to remember the little details by.


This will be the first in a series of posts about their wedding day. Next: images from David, the groom, getting ready.
