Sam and Adam, good friends of mine, were married early last June in Red Lodge, just an hour’s drive from Billings.
It was a good day to kick off the wedding season last year.

Ok, it’s like this…

I’ve been really bad at keeping my blog up and in chronological order, something I think is important. I’m bouncing all over the place and not finding my rhythm, so…

Tonight I’ve made the decision to go back, waaay back, and start posting some things I haven’t, which includes weddings from last year, and includes this one from over two years ago! My posts over the next week will be of weddings and miscellaneous jobs I’ve done in the last year. After they’re blogged I’ll blog some more from my travels until I feel like I’m caught up and current.

On my old blog I was consistent with blogging and keeping it on a current timeline, which I know a lot of people liked. And it makes sense. You follow with me as I travel into tomorrow and next week and so on. Bouncing around might not be too bad as long as I had a base post or a few base posts to launch from, so that now is my goal. Then I would think of the bouncing more as “referencing”, which is much better sounding. So, lets begin here ….

Desta and David were married on Halloween a couple of years ago and I was more than excited when they asked me to be a part of it. It was a small affair in the backyard of her mom’s. And although it was a pretty flat, overcast and gloomy day, which for me was a little saddening because the colors in their clothes just wouldn’t pop like I wanted, it was one of the most enjoyable times in recent shooting memory.

Everything worn by Desta and her daughter Lily were handmade by Desta– I know, amazing! I still can’t believe her artistry. As you can see, they incorporated a medieval theme into their day, something they are active in. And something I’d like to see more of. I’m kind of curious.

From beginning to end, it was a too-quick, two hours, and while I secretly wished it would’ve gone on longer, I am happy to have been there. It’s still a favorite.

As a kid growing up watching spaghetti westerns, a staple of our household, this themed shoot was just right up my alley.

It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed sitting in front of the computer just playing with images.
