documentary storytelling for laid-back and unfiltered couples
Your Northwest Montana-obsessed wedding photography + videography team over-serving adventurous couples who love nature and each other.
Based in Northwest Montana & Glacier National Park → Always down for a trip
To the adventurous, wild, madly-in-love couples who have no freaking idea how to plan a wedding and are searching for someone to tell your story in a way that feels emotionally authentic:
I SEE YOU.
In fact, just a few short years ago, my husband and I WERE you.
We were planning a wedding that we didn’t feel connected with, struggling to prioritize the things that actually mattered to our relationship, wondering how the heck to reconcile what we were “supposed” to do with who we actually ARE — people who love the outdoors, laughing way too much with our close-knit group of friends, enjoying moments as they come to be rather than facilitating them.
We are sentimental, NOT traditional. We value making REAL memories, not contrived ones. We seek to explore the world around us and LIVE in it, not just document it.
Meet Shay,
your Northwest Montana videographer + photographer
Hi, I’m Shayna Lloyd, but everyone calls me Shay – I’m the owner of Montana Diaries, aka your fav Northwest Montana wedding videographer & photographer, and I curate the most badass teams imaginable to help me tell wild, messy, beautiful stories through video & photo. I crave freedom and authenticity, and I KNOW that you do too; the most important part of my job is being the permission slip my couples need to let go of everything that doesn’t feel true to them.
