Skylar & Erik’s Bozeman Welcome Party & Rehearsal Dinner Portraits

Skylar & Erik call Bozeman home, where they live with their sweet dog, Scout, and recently tied the knot at Sage Lodge in Paradise Valley. As a friend of Skylar, I was incredibly honored when she asked me to photograph the start of their wedding celebrations. On Thursday evening, friends and family gathered at their home for a warm, joy-filled welcome party, and I slipped into the background to capture the candid, in-between moments that made the night so special. 

The next day, before their rehearsal dinner, Skylar—looking stunning in a thoughtfully chosen dress and accessories—asked me to capture a few quick portraits of her and Erik together. These quiet pauses between events became some of my favorite images, a beautiful balance to the big celebrations that followed.
