Montana-Based Traveling Destination Luxury Micro-Wedding Photography and Videography
Your story-focused, full-coverage photography + videography team capturing multi-day celebrations for couples who value meaningful experiences with their loved ones.
Documenting the Intentional, Joy-Filled Beauty of Your Micro-Wedding
You’re dreaming of a wedding that feels like you—where every detail is intentional, every moment is meaningful, and every choice is about creating an unforgettable experience for you and your loved ones. This isn’t about following traditions just because you’re supposed to. It’s about crafting a celebration where connection, joy, and love take center stage.
That’s exactly what I do.
I’m not here to make your wedding feel like a production or drag you through endless photo sessions. My approach combines quick, intentional posed moments with natural, documentary-style coverage, so you get stunning images without missing a second of the fun. Whether it’s your best friend’s laugh during dinner or the way your partner’s hand lingers on yours during your vows, I’m here to capture it all in a way that feels raw, real, and completely you.
Your micro-wedding deserves more than just pretty pictures. It deserves a storyteller who knows how to balance the beauty of the details with the heart of the celebration, so you can relive the moments that matter most—forever.
Why Personal Storytelling Matters for Your Destination Micro-Wedding
Your wedding is more than just a celebration—it’s the beginning of your marriage, shared with the people who mean the most to you. Capturing that day takes more than just showing up with a camera. It’s about truly understanding who you are as a couple, what you value, and how you want this day to feel for both you and your loved ones.
Without that connection, photos and videos can end up feeling generic, like they could belong to anyone. But your wedding isn’t just another event—it’s your story, full of meaningful moments that deserve to be remembered in a way that feels uniquely you.
That’s why I approach every wedding as a storyteller, blending quick, intentional posing with natural, documentary-style coverage to capture the real emotions and beauty of your day. The result? Images and films that don’t just look beautiful—they make you feel like you’re living it all over again.
Your Wedding Should Feel Like You
Your wedding day is about more than just beautiful details—it’s about creating intentional moments and celebrating in a way that feels true to you and your loved ones.
Did You Know?
Destination micro-weddings aren’t just about stunning locations—they’re about creating an experience. Couples who plan multi-day celebrations often say their favorite moments aren’t the big ones, but the intimate, in-between times: sharing stories over dinner, a quiet sunrise together, or dancing with loved ones under the stars.
Your Montana-Based Traveling Destination Wedding Photographer and Videographer
Hi, I’m Shayna. I’m not just here to snap photos or film the day—I’m here to tell the full story of your wedding, from the big, emotional moments to the quiet, in-between ones that truly matter. With a background in documentary-style photography and a “vlog meets indie film” approach to videography, I create visuals that feel real, unscripted, and uniquely you.
While Montana is my home base, I’ve traveled across the globe capturing multi-day destination weddings for couples who want their celebration to feel intentional, joyful, and connected. I work fast when we need those posed moments, so you can get back to soaking up time with your people, but I’m always ready to step back and document the laughter, the toasts, and the tiny details you’ll never want to forget.
When you work with me, you’re getting more than a vendor. I’m your laid-back, creative third wheel who’s just as invested in the experience as you are. Together, we’ll create something that feels not just beautiful, but like stepping back into the heart of your celebration every time you see it.
Destination Wedding Pricing + Experience
For couples who prioritize time with their loved ones and an unforgettable experience over stiff poses and overly staged moments.
Have you thought about how you want to relive your wedding day? Imagine flipping through timeless photos that instantly bring back the laughter and connection you felt—or watching a highlight film where you can hear the toasts, the clinking glasses, and the sound of your partner’s voice as they say, “I do.”
Now, picture this: a multi-day celebration where nothing is left out. Every joyful hug, every stolen glance, and every detail you so carefully planned is captured beautifully. A hybrid approach to photo and video ensures your story is documented completely—so the memories of this incredible experience don’t fade but grow richer with time.
Your wedding should feel as unforgettable as the people you’ve invited to share it with. Whether we’re documenting a weekend filled with laughter, incredible food, and late-night dancing or a quiet, intimate celebration, I’m here to create visuals that feel like stepping back into those memories every time you see them.
And hey, wedding planning doesn’t have to be stressful. If something doesn’t feel right, let it go—this is your day, and it should feel exactly the way you want it to.
Your Traveling Story-Focused Photographer & Videographer
Packing my bags to document love stories in incredible places? Always. Whether it’s a luxurious Italian villa, the cliffs of Santorini, or an intimate weekend celebration in a spot that means the world to you, I’m here to tell your story in a way that feels as vibrant and unique as your destination.
I believe your location should feel woven into the fabric of your wedding story, not just a backdrop. From Northwest Montana to anywhere in the world, I bring the same intentional, heartfelt approach—capturing the real moments, meaningful connections, and breathtaking details that make your celebration unforgettable.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives the creativity, attention, and care their story deserves. Destination weddings and multi-day celebrations require a personalized, intentional approach.
Dates fill quickly—especially during popular wedding seasons. If you’re dreaming of a meaningful, detail-filled celebration documented with heart and intention, don’t wait. Let’s lock in your date and create something extraordinary.

I’ve spent years documenting multi-day destination weddings and intimate celebrations, blending a storytelling approach with a keen eye for the moments that matter most. From luxurious venues to remote, off-the-beaten-path locations, I know how to capture the balance between breathtaking details and heartfelt connection.
With a streamlined process and clear communication, I make working together simple and stress-free from the very first inquiry. You’ll know exactly what to expect, and I’ll be there every step of the way—ready to adapt, guide, and capture the essence of your day so it feels uniquely yours.
From glowing reviews to lasting friendships with past clients, my work is rooted in professionalism, trust, and an unwavering dedication to preserving the memories you’ll want to relive for years to come.

If you’re planning a multi-day celebration filled with intention, joy, and connection, we’re probably a perfect match. I’m here for couples who care about spending time with their loved ones, creating incredible memories, and crafting a wedding that feels like them—not just a performance for tradition’s sake.
But if you’re looking for a photographer or videographer to stick to a rigid shot list, stage every moment, or focus on perfectly posed images all day, I’m probably not the best fit—and that’s okay.
I work best with couples who value meaningful moments over perfection and want a mix of candid, documentary-style coverage with quick, intentional portraits. You’re not afraid to ditch the typical wedding timeline in favor of something personal, and you care about making your wedding as unforgettable for your guests as it is for you. If that sounds like you, I’m ready to document every incredible moment.
