  Hello Friends!

THE OTHER HALF OF THE LENS 

Hi, I’m Aubrey!

I’ve been living in Montana for a while now, but my story started somewhere a little warmer — raised between California and Texas, I’ve always had a deep love for sunshine, wide open spaces, and the kind of people who make anywhere feel like home. I actually went back to Texas for college to soak in that way of life again — slow mornings, big skies, and genuine connection.

That’s why Montana speaks to me. It has that same sense of calm, of stillness, of meaning in the moment. And that’s exactly how I approach photography and film — grounded, observant, and always looking for the real.

I work alongside my fiancé Landon (yep, we’re partners in business and in life!) and together, we bring a dynamic, balanced approach to wedding photography and filmmaking.

What I Bring to Every Wedding Day

  • A calm, grounding presence when the nerves kick in

  • A deep understanding of timelines, lighting, and emotional flow

  • Gentle posing prompts that feel natural, not stiff and awkward

  • A steady hand to pin boutonnieres, fluff dresses, or fix stray hairs

  • Encouragement when you need it, space when you don’t

  • An eye for the real, raw emotion: teary first looks, subtle glances, and full-body laughs

  • Quick thinking if the weather changes or things run behind

  • A hype woman who genuinely loves watching you feel amazing

  • Someone who never forgets: this is your day, not a photoshoot

  • And a deep respect for your story, however it unfolds

I believe your wedding day should feel like you. Unscripted. Unfiltered. And completely unforgettable.

Where You’ll Find Me, Us Together & Why It Matters

M

At weddings, I’m the one posing you, guiding you with gentle direction, and capturing the still images that freeze your most meaningful moments. I’ll fix your hair, adjust the veil, and calm your nerves, all while making sure you feel confident in front of the camera. Landon is usually just a few steps away, capturing everything on video: your vows, laughter, reactions, and all the motion between the moments. We move with intention and without getting in your way, always focused on telling your story, not just checking off a shot list.


Off-duty, you’ll find us in a local coffee shop sipping lattes, exploring mountain trails with our sweet dog Buddy, cooking dinner together after long editing nights, or building Spotify playlists that’ll one day soundtrack our road trips to your wedding. Buddy is our built-in hiking buddy, editing companion, and occasional office cuddle break, and yes, he’s 100% part of the team.

You deserve a wedding team that works in sync, not just creatively, but energetically. When you hire us, you’re not getting strangers with cameras. You’re getting two people who care deeply about what this day means to you, and who will treat it with the same attention and heart as if it were our own.
