Full Big Bend Wedding Guide | Glacier National Park Photographer and Videographer
Big Bend is the spot almost every couple sends me as their first piece of inspiration. It’s one of the most iconic views in Glacier and the fact that it’s an approved ceremony location makes planning ten times easier. You park, step out, and you’re instantly surrounded by huge mountain views in every direction. It’s fully accessible and every slight turn gives you a different backdrop, which makes photo and video coverage way more dynamic. As a story-driven photographer and videographer with a vlog meets indie film style, Big Bend gives me endless options without needing to go far. It is one of the busiest pullouts in the park, so if privacy is the top priority I usually steer couples somewhere quieter. But if you love the look of this spot, I can frame out other visitors without it feeling forced. Big Bend is classic Glacier and always delivers.
