Northwest Montana & Glacier National Park Elopement Videography and Photography
Your Montana-obsessed, full coverage videography + photography team documenting weddings and elopements for adventurous, nature-loving couples.
Documenting the Wild, Unscripted Beauty of Your Elopement
You’re dreaming of a day that’s entirely yours—no traditions you don’t care about, no distractions, just you and the love of your life surrounded by jaw-dropping Montana landscapes. But you also want more than just pretty pictures. You want your story told in a way that feels real, raw, and uniquely you.
That’s exactly what I do.
I’m not here to stage cheesy poses or make your day feel like a production. I’m here to blend into the moment, capturing the way your hand fits perfectly in theirs, the sound of the wind rushing through the trees, and the way you laugh when no one’s watching. Through a mix of documentary-style photography and “vlog meets indie film” videography, I create something that doesn’t just look good—it feels like you’re living it all over again.
Your wedding deserves more than a timeline of events—it deserves a storyteller who sees the beauty in every detail and brings it to life in photo and film. That’s what I’m here for.
Why Personal Storytelling Matters for Your Glacier National Park Wedding
Weddings and elopements are deeply personal, and capturing them takes more than just showing up with a camera. It’s about taking the time to understand your story—who you are, what you value, and how you want this day to feel for both you and your loved ones.
Without that connection, there’s a risk of ending up with photos and videos that feel generic, like they could belong to anyone. But your wedding isn’t just another day—it’s the start of your marriage, filled with details that are uniquely yours.
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 everything all over again.
Your wedding should be a joyful, stress-free adventure that celebrates your love story in one of the most breathtaking places on earth, with moments that feel as wild and beautiful as Montana itself.

Glacier National Park boasts over 700 miles of trails and is known as the "Crown of the Continent" for its breathtaking views and diverse landscapes—perfect for an unforgettable elopement.
Your Montana-Based Destination Wedding and Elopement Photographer and Videographer
Hi, I’m Shayna, and I’m not just here to take pretty pictures or film your vows—I’m here to tell your story. I’m Montana-obsessed, wildly creative, and passionate about capturing love in its realest, rawest form. I’ve spent years exploring every trail, peak, and hidden gem in Northwest Montana and Glacier National Park, so when you work with me, you’re getting more than a photographer or videographer—you’re getting someone who truly gets this place and the magic it holds.
My style? Think vlog meets indie film. I don’t do stiff poses or overly-produced moments. Instead, I focus on the candid, unscripted pieces of your day that make it yours—the way you laugh, the wind in your hair, the quiet moments when it’s just the two of you. I work in a hybrid photo/video style, seamlessly weaving together visuals that are authentic, adventurous, and uniquely you.
When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a vendor—you’re gaining a laid-back, enthusiastic storyteller who’s just as invested in your experience as you are. I’ll guide you through the day, help you feel totally at ease, and make sure the final result feels like stepping back into those incredible moments all over again.
Northwest Montana Elopement & Wedding Pricing + Experience
For down to earth couples who prioritize fun and experience over perfect and posed
Have you thought about how you want to relive your elopement? Imagine holding timeless photos that instantly take you back to the way you looked at each other that day—or hearing your vows in your own voices, paired with the rustling trees and rushing water in the background.
Now, consider this: What’s the value of having both photos and video that capture your day in a way no single medium can? A hybrid approach means nothing is left out—every laugh, every glance, and every breathtaking backdrop is preserved forever.
Investing in both photo and video coverage means you’re not just creating memories for today—you’re building an heirloom you’ll revisit for decades to come. Because the way you felt on this day? It’s worth remembering exactly as it was.

If you’re the kind of couple who wants your wedding to be adventurous, real, and unfiltered—then I’m your person. I’m here for the laid-back, madly-in-love pairs who aren’t afraid to ditch traditions that don’t matter and do things their own way. Aanddddd, you’re planning a multi-day celebration filled with intention, joy, and connection, we’re probably a perfect match.
But if you’re looking for stiff poses, a rigid shot list, or a super traditional vibe, I’m probably not the one for you—and that’s totally fine.
I work best with couples who care more about how the day feels than how it looks in a Pinterest-perfect way. You love the outdoors, you value connection, and you want photos and videos that showcase your favorite memories—not just ticking boxes. 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’s you, I’m so stoked to be your photographer and videographer!!
