Your Montana-obsessed, full coverage videography + photography team documenting weddings and elopements for adventurous, nature-loving couples.
We are a Northwest Montana-based wedding videography + photography companythat specializes in adventurous couples. Whether you go with us for videography, photography, or both, you can be certain that we prioritize storytelling. One thing that makes us a little weird in this industry: we’re considered “full coverage” for every service we provide, so our packages don’t talk about hours or specific minutes or number of images delivered. Our prices include EVERYTHING necessary for documenting the exact experience you want to have; we never tack on travel, lodging, or the assistants’ fees necessary for carrying out your dream after you’ve been quoted. We work with our couples on a plan and timeline that works for their specific vision and how they want the experience to FEEL.
Hiring Shayna and Brandon may have been the best decision we made for our wedding. They make everyone in the room feel comfortable, you hardly notice they are there. They capture things we never would have remembered otherwise. They are so talented at what they do, and it didn’t break our budget to have them with us. I am so thankful for this beautiful couple & their talents. 100/100 would hire them again, in a HEARTBEAT.

The second we met at our shoot it was an immediate relief for me and my fiancé. Sometimes these shoots can feel awkward or we have no clue how to pose and what to do but Shayna made sure to guide us every step of the way and make us feel extremely comfortable. We actually had a BLAST during our shoot and it didn’t even feel like we were doing work. She took us to locations in Glacier Park that were the most stunning places I’ve ever seen.

We received our sneak peak film shortly after the wedding and I cried the first few times we watched it. The highlight film was no different. I’m not usually speechless but honestly that’s the only way I can describe our feelings while watching the footage of our wedding day ... truly speechless and at a complete loss for words.

I’ve probably watched our video 30+ times and I can’t get over how well Shayna and Brandon captured our day and pieced it together SO perfectly. We met them the day of our wedding and when talking to Shayna, you feel like you’ve known her forever because she’s so genuine and sweet. I would recommend Montana Diaries 100 times over. Thank you Shayna and Brandon for creating something we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

I reached out to Shayna to capture our elopement on video, since Covid had changed our wedding plans, so we could share our day with friends and family back home. She was SUPER accommodating with our request! Shayna has fun and creative ideas and makes you feel very comfortable as the camera is rolling. She was a blast to work with. We highly recommend her!!

We make it super easy to book! We’ll talk about a payment plan that works for you and your lifestyle, and we’ll set it up in the same place as your signed contract so you can ALWAYS access both easily — we only require a $500 retainer to secure your date and that everything is paid off before the big day.

I’m here to answer ANY questions you have throughout the planning process. I promise to provide guidance, to hype you up when you need it, to be a listening ear when your friends are sick of hearing about planning, and to provide your permission slip to do WHATEVER the heck feels good! The more out of the box and unique to YOU, the better! I’m just an email away, always.
We’re out here making memories — going to the most incredible locations, listening to the dopest tunes, eating the best food, laughing our butts off, crafting experiences that feel authentic to you.
You can expect a sneak peek within a week of our session with plenty of updates during the editing process, until you receive allll of your video/photo goodies. Annnddd, you better freaking stay in touch, because you can’t go and get me INVESTED in your love story and then peace out forever.
