Sara & Russ | Married at the Island Lodge

Sara and Russ both grew up in Missoula, MT.  They now live in Oregon, but Montana is home to them.  When planning their wedding, they knew that they wanted to have a beautiful Montana wedding with all the comforts and details of what they call home.  They chose the quaint little lodge, Montana Island Lodge that is located right in the middle of Salmon Lake, right outside of Seeley Lake, Montana.  The day was absolutely breathtaking!  Fall colors had just arrived and the lake mirrored them in a breathtaking display.  Their guests were boated to the Lodge to enjoy a full day of celebrating the love that Sara and Russ share together.  The sunflower decorations and rustic lodge, the laughing and celebrating of friends and family, the sweet moments that we witnessed between Sara and Russ were just a few of our favorite things we were a part of that gorgeous day in October.  Enjoy!

Jon & Heather | Rancho Palos Verdes Wedding

Heather and Jon were married in sunny southern California on a gorgeous summer day last August.  This was a very special wedding to me(Nelli) because it was my younger cousins wedding!  It was a time that all my family would be coming together.  I always get a new prespective whenever I get to photograph a family wedding.  Being with family the week before, anticipating the wedding and having our children as part of the wedding is so special.  It shows me how to relate with the couples that we photograph and to value those special moments of family being together.  Our daughter Alicia was my second shooter, which made it super fun:) It was also a special day because my parents were there, and it was their 40th wedding anniversary!!

Heather and Jon are both very talented musicians and actually met from being cast in the same musical production! The wedding was a very special day for both of them to bring together their families. They knew they wanted a beach themed wedding, so they chose the location, Point Vincente Interpretive Center in Palos Verdes that overlooked the Pacific Ocean.  The day couldn’t have been more beautiful with all the handmade decorations, perfect weather, awesome music and loving family.  Heather and Jon put together a band of very talented musicians and even surprised everyone with a guest appearance of both of them singing to wrap up the night!  Everyone who attended was totally blown away by their musical talents and also the love they share.

Congrats Heather and Jon!
