This is the second time I've had the opportunity to photograph the Azurevision Dance Collective.

It is always a treat to make collaborative art with other creatives.

These beauties really blow me away with their skills.

Best of 2011 : Mandy Mohler Photography : Montana Wedding and Portrait Photographer

2011-12-29T01:05:00.001-07:00

It's that time of year again! The first day of a new year is a great time to look forward and make promises and resolutions for the future. I enjoy reflecting on the year that has passed to appreciate all the people I have come to meet, acknowledge lessons learned, and take a walk down memory lane.

Here are my favorite photos from the year 2011. It was a delightfully busy year, which gave me many many great moments to choose from. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed capturing them. Thanks to all my wonderful clients, it was a pleasure!

Happy New Year!

A Very Swank Christmas

2011-12-27T14:07:00.000-07:00

Its a guaranteed good time whenever I get the opportunity to photograph this family.

Their family name is no coincidence either. This is one classy group. As always, a pleasure!

Thanks for toughing out the cold!

Just Married in Central Park

2011-12-01T16:07:00.001-07:00

After months and months of planning, and a long day of emotions, drinking and dancing- it is easy to understand how a bride and groom might think that a second shoot the next morning might be a little overwhelming. This is what Jenny and Milen thought initially, but I was able to persuade them with the idea of a fashion photo shoot in Central Park and pictures of them in their wedding clothes feeding a foot long hot dog to their foot long hot dogs! After all, its not every day that you get to wear a custom made Carolina Herrera gown, a fabulous fur coat by Norisol Ferrari, jewelry by Dannijo,a stunningly tailored Prada suit and have a sexy fashion photo shoot in the middle of Central Park... seriously. Jenny and Milen were gracious enough to appease us and I don't think they regret it.

We had a beautiful, sun drenched autumn shoot with bridges, boats and hot dog stands. When we finished shooting, Jenny and Milen were walking through the park by the "Guitar Man". They were obviously stunning enough to create a stir and catch some attention. The musician congratulated the couple and then proceeded to serenade them with Elvis Presley's "Fools Rush In". Jenny and Milen shared their second "first dance" in front of a crowd of happy onlookers. Tears were flowing, and it was one of the most amazing moments we've had the pleasure of photographing. As we walked away, the general consensus was, "Wow. That just happened."

Below are some of my favorite photos from the day. To view the full shoot, please visit the Koko Verde blog.

Autumn in New York : Jenny + Milen

2011-12-01T15:29:00.001-07:00

In early October, Koko Verde hopped a plane and flew across the country to document the fabulous wedding of Jenny and Milen in New York City. Jenny is a fashion designer and Milen is an amazing leather tailor. I had worked with them before to shoot their clothing line, Dva Bika (which is AMAZING). Of course, their wedding was fabulous! Below I have attached some of my favorite photos from their day. To view the full day, please visit the Koko Verde blog.

Karrie + Jeremy

2011-11-23T13:07:00.001-07:00

It is always a pleasure to photograph this couple! Every year they drive for hours to endure a brisk afternoons in the snow...and every time we get beautiful photos. We mixed it up a little this time and included their beautiful dogs, Tally and Sage.

Thanks you two! I really enjoyed our session, and look forward to the next.

Stacy + Travis : Fall In Love

2011-10-21T19:50:00.000-06:00

Lindsey and I returned from NYC to a beautiful fall and this lovely couple! We had so much fun photographing them amidst the changing leaves, and cannot wait to document their winter wonderland wedding in January. Here are some of my favorite photos from the shoot.

Cassie and Josh - Love and Plaid

2011-10-21T16:00:00.001-06:00

I'm finally getting all my ducks in a row! Better late than never, here are some of my favorites from KoKo's Lovebirds session with the adorable Cassie and Josh. These two were so natural in front of the camera, and obviously crazy in love with each other. I'm also head over heels in love with the plaid.

Happy Birthday little Madelyn!

2011-10-21T15:32:00.004-06:00

Lindsey and I did this shoot a couple weeks ago, and I just thought- in honor of little Madelyn's birthday (yesterday) I would revisit this, and show some of my favorite shots. Congrats to you Sean and Melissa! I'm not at all surprised that you have welcomed another beautiful, healthy, and happy baby to this world. Max, enjoy your new little sister! Madelyn, we can't wait to meet you!

Michelle + Erik : Married on the Lake

2011-09-13T01:05:00.000-06:00

Sunday before last was a picture perfect labor day weekend. Michelle and Erik couldn't have received better weather at their wedding. They tied the knot on the shores of Whitefish Lake at the Whitefish Lake Lodge. Kelly from Frontier Florist was their event coordinator. She really pulled through for them to make sure everything was seamless and went off without a hitch.

Below are some of my favorite photos from the day. They had some extremely adorable children present!

Make sure to leave your comments and well wishes on the blog. If 20 are left, the happy couple will receive an extra little something.

Cheers!

Mike + Bree : Married!!

2011-08-15T02:48:00.000-06:00

On Saturday I got to photograph this lovely couple for the second time. The first was for their engagement session- which included some really beautiful light, the mountains, the dogs, and the bride's mother's donkey Caesar. Now I have come full circle and have seen them make their commitments to each other in front of all their closest friends and family. The only words I can think of that would perfectly describe this wedding would be : darling, quaint, stunning. For one, they got married at Bree's mother's house which was built in 1890 and has been in their family since. Also, Bree's father was good enough to not only walk her up the aisle- but fly her into the ceremony in his cherry red helicopter. I think the only way you could trump that is to fly in yourself- by your own power. Their beautiful flowers were by Debbie Kauffman of Memories in Blossom. (She did my wedding bouquet too!)

Thanks again you two for providing such a beautiful backdrop, and for gushing so lovingly on each other. You really make my job a joy.

As always- make sure to comment on the blog. They're going for 20 comments!

Chris + Lacey : Just Married Session : Good 'Ole GNP

2011-08-09T15:38:00.002-06:00

Last night I had a beauty of a "Just Married" session with the AMAZING Lacey and Chris.

They were married in Somers on Saturday, but wanted to treat themselves to a little extra photo session in the mountains before they flew home to San Fran.

Although this turned out to be a stunning session- of course it didn't go completely hitch free. Of course... So, we get just into Glacier AND... I get a flat tire. Yep. Not only did this couple stay calm and collected- they worked as a team together to help me change it up and get back on the road. Luckily we had agreed in advance that they would be more comfortable if they waited to get into their wedding clothes until we were at location. Whew! Was that a good call! That Chris really saved my bacon- it always pays to have an engineer along. :) Thanks you two!

After that travesty of a setback- we got cleaned up and went on our way shooting. By the end we encountered bright sun, clouds, wind, rain, and lightning. Also, they were happy to risk their lives and stand on the rock wall overlooking a VERY SCARY drop... all for the photos. Never a dull moment.

Thanks again you two. You are troopers and very special people. Congrats on your wedding!

As always- make sure to leave your comments. If the couple gets 20 or more comments, I will send a little extra something their direction. Cheers!

Will + Kristin : Married!

2011-08-07T00:16:00.001-06:00

This afternoon the sun was shining, the lake was sparkling, and these two love birds were grinning from ear to ear! I gladly documented this beautiful couple as they exchanged their vows in Bigfork. I was lucky enough that they loved the idea of a "first look". Personally, I believe these are some of the most beautiful and precious moments you can capture of a couple. They were married at the Mountain Lake Lodge by Officiant: Rev Julia McKay, with flowers by Conrad Floral, and cake by Miss Patti Cakes.

Make sure to comment on the blog! If Will and Kristin get 20 comments, they will get a little extra surprise! Cheers!

Kati + Darin : Yellow LOVE

2011-08-02T22:40:00.000-06:00

Another KoKo Verde shoot! (of course)

The lovely Kati and Darin just keep giving us stunning moments to photograph. We love them!

This was literally the FASTEST photo shoot the KoKo has EVER done. Probably 15 minutes top. The mosquitoes in this canola field were of biblical proportions. Nevertheless, this is probably one of our favorite shoots of all times. It reminds me of the daffodil scene from Big Fish.

Kati + Darin Newlywed Lovebirds : KoKo Verde Photography

2011-08-02T19:11:00.000-06:00

Yes! Another KoKo Verde wedding! Lindsey and I have been BUSY BEES!

This wedding is super special to us both. Kati and Darin are our close friends, and we love them both dearly. They are both so beautiful in every way. Their love is so inspiring. We have been dying to shoot their wedding for so long, and it has finally arrived. Personally, I think I can say that I've never been so emotionally moved at a wedding. The whole thing was PERFECTION.

Kerrie, Judd, Darling Boys : KoKo Verde Photography

2011-08-02T18:51:00.000-06:00

Another great shoot by KoKo Verde! We had the pleasure of shooting the lovely Kerrie and her darling little family. They have a new addition to the family, and are visiting all the way from Alaska! We actually enjoyed shooting this lovely family TWICE in one weekend, for they were here to celebrate the wedding of Kerrie's beautiful sister- Kati, who just happens to be one of our dear friends!

Sam + Brie = MARRIED! : Mandy Mohler Photography

2011-07-23T01:55:00.000-06:00

I mentioned earlier this week that I had the rare chance to shoot two weddings in one day. This one is the main headliner. And boy was it eventful! There was a beautiful ceremony full of heartfelt speeches from friends and family, dramatic weather, and a power outage. We agreed that with thunder, lighting, rain, and a dark candle lit reception- that the rest of my services would be best fulfilled the following morning. This happened to work out perfectly because Brie had wished all along to have pictures taken at her family's lake house on Flathead.

Thanks so much Sam and Brie for being SUCH troopers! Your patience really pulled you through to get everything you could ask for.

Make sure to comment on the blog: if Sam and Brie get 20 comments, there will be a little something extra coming there way. Cheers!

The Event at Rebecca Farm 2011: Mandy Mohler Photography

2011-07-22T20:09:00.001-06:00

It is my favorite time of year: The Event at Rebecca Farm!

It is such a joy for me to see all the beautiful horses from all over the country coming out to compete in my home town. Here are some of my favorite shots thus far:

Jessi + Phil : Just Married!

2011-07-16T22:01:00.000-06:00

So, I NEVER do this- but I had a little time, and was able to sneak in TWO weddings today!

This beautiful couple just makes me so happy. They are adorable and poster children for true love.

Enjoy!

Vickie and her family full of LOVE : Mandy Mohler Photography

2011-07-15T01:03:00.000-06:00

This evening (well...technically, last evening) I had the pleasure of FINALLY documenting my beautiful dear friend Vickie and her family full of LOVE. I haven't seen such absolutely genuine compassion in a family- maybe...ever. Their gathering is in celebration of the wedding that will take place this Saturday between Vickie's daughter and the sweetest guy ever. Also in attendance is Vickie's grandson and grandchild on the way. The lovebirds have their close friend, the cool cat with the sleeves and awesome dragon pose, here to marry them. (This may be my favorite law in Montana: anyone can officiate a wedding.) And, not to forget- Vickie's husband made a sneak appearance at the end after dealing with "gasoline" aka olive oil marinade on the grill.

This was of course a very difficult edit, so I did less editing, more posting.

Make sure to comment on the blog. If Vickie gets 20 blog comments she will have a little something extra coming her way!

Valier Family : Mandy Mohler Photography

2011-07-08T01:35:00.000-06:00

About a week or so ago, I received a request from the nicest young lady asking me if I'd like to drive out to Valier to capture her beautiful family on their farm. Hmmm.... where excatly IS Valier? I happen to know quite a few people FROM Valier, but hadn't yet made the visit myself. Curiosity got the better of me, and I just had to help this family out. Of course, I was IN! My lovely sister agreed to join me on the three hour drive over to the WINDY "city". Together we had such a blast meeting this family and getting to know all the spectacular vintage farm equipment around their homestead. I haven't had this much fun on a family photo shoot in ages. Here are a few of my favorites:

Also, make sure to leave your comments. As always, if they get 20 comments or more on this post, they are in line for a little something special.

Blake + Sarah : Whitefish Lake Lodge Wedding

2011-06-20T16:06:00.000-06:00

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to second shoot for Lauren Brown Photography of Bozeman, MT.

She just happened to be in my neck of the woods for the nuptials of the adorable Blake + Sarah.

I had the treat of following the groom and his men. I was entertained, to say the least!

The Whitefish Lake Lodge hosted the event along with the help of Conrad Floral and a plethora of other talented local vendors.
The reception was one of the most beautiful I've seen in awhile. I simply loved the kid's table!

Bree + Mike : Engagement Session : Mandy Mohler Wedding Photography

2011-06-15T00:28:00.000-06:00

I had the most beautiful engagement session this evening with the two lovebirds Bree and Mike.

We've been attempting to schedule this thing for quite some time, but the weather has been typical Montana style fitful...until TODAY! What a beauty of a night it was. I had a couple in love, there three gorgeous dogs, a donkey, snow-capped peaks, lush green fields, quiet ponds, slightly cloudy skies, and the warmth of a low hanging summer sun. That is a recipe for magic to happen. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding! Also, I love that they are exchanging vows on a piece of land that has been in Bree's family for six generations. That alone is truly special.

Make sure to comment on the blog! If Bree and Mike get 20 or more comments, they will get a little something extra coming there way.

Kelsey + Luke, Whitefish, MT Wedding : KoKo Verde

2011-06-13T16:38:00.000-06:00

This last Saturday KoKo Verde (Lindsey and I) were blown away by all the beauty and love at the wedding of Luke and Kelsey. We had rain, sun, DOUBLE RAINBOWS, smiles, laughter, and tears of joy. It was so amazing to be a part of this happy moment for this gorgeous couple.

Luke + Taren : Snowbowl, MT : KoKo Verde Wedding Photographers

2011-06-06T22:31:00.000-06:00

Last Saturday KoKo Verde traveled to Missoula to shoot the AMAZING wedding of Taren+Luke. (We both had some nostalgia since we both went to school at UM). They got married at the local ski hill, Snowbowl. It was such a beautiful day and luckily the snow melted just in time. (4ft. of snow the night before at rehearsal dinner!)

Taren+Luke are the most genuinely NICE people we have ever worked with. Their kind hearts and sweet smiles were so endearing. They made us feel so comfortable and it was so much fun to share in their big day. It felt like we had known them our lifetimes. What a lovely couple. Congrats you two! We loved EVERYTHING about your big day.

Make sure to comment and share the love. (The lovely couple will get a special little surprise if they get 20 or more comments!)

2011-06-01T20:19:00.000-06:00

Saturday, Lindsey and I shot the beautiful wedding of Melissa Hostetler to George Wells.

The celebration took place at one of our favorite wedding venues, the Diamond B Ranch in Lower Valley. The weather was drizzly and beautiful- and this happy couple was surrounded and supported by an abundance of close family and friends.

2011-05-20T19:38:00.000-06:00

Today I had an opportunity to do some head shots for beautiful Melissa Hostetler, soon to be Wells!

She is getting married this weekend, and we took this chance to get some professional snaps of her as a "single" professional lady- while getting her used to the camera at the same time.

Go buy some cabinets from her at 4 West Cabinetry, Kalispell, MT.

such a great smile!!

Benjamin & Bentley

2011-04-29T00:56:00.000-06:00

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the most darling owls.

It was the open house / student show for the Art Department of the Flathead Valley Community College.

John Rawlings, drawing instructor, collaborated with our local wildlife rehabilitator from Wildlife Return to bring in two lovely owls : Benjamin and Bentley for our drawing and gushing pleasure.

The birds were gorgeous, regal, and so well behaved.

These are some of my all time favorite animals-- what a lucky day to spend so much time capturing their beauty. This was a very tough edit...

2011-03-14T17:32:00.000-06:00

This weekend I had the pleasure of spending some quality time with my little sister, mother, father, and both grandmothers. This was all in honor of Tabitha's (little sister) final vocal performance of her undergraduate study. She sang like a bird, and it was my pleasure to document this experience for her. Also, to my delight, the University of Montana music building has a bit of retro twist, which I certainly used to my benefit.

Enjoy!

Christiana & Simon : Wedded in a Winter Wonderland

2011-02-22T23:45:00.000-07:00

On Sunday I had the privilege to accompany Lindsey Jane on her photo shoot of the STUNNING Christiana and Simon.

It was the winter wedding of their (and our) dreams. Whitefish Lake was frozen, the sun was out, we had a fabulous view of the ski hill!

This was such a GORGEOUS and perfect wedding. I was thrilled to take part.

Swank Family

On Thursday I had the pleasure of documenting the Swank family. They have the cutest little boys- and one of them was born only 3 weeks ago!

It was one of the funniest and most memorable photo shoots I've ever been apart of.

Congrats on the beautiful family! Thanks so much for trusting me with your memories!

Kati + Darin = LOVE

2011-01-24T19:23:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Lindsey and I were FINALLY able to get together with the lovely Kati and Darin for their engagement shoot. First attempt, I had a severe fever and was highly contagious. Second attempt, melting snow, ice, RAIN. Finally yesterday, it appeared as if we would get lucky with the weather....

and as Lindsey and I were driving towards the Swan, the temp read 41 degrees, and... it started to RAIN. Of course!!

Being the awesome couple that they are, Kati and Darin pushed to start the shoot anyway. They smiled and hugged and loved despite the dripping, and then... we were all rewarded with brilliant blue skies and sunshine. Lindsey and I were really lucky after all, because the smorgasbord of weather gave us a great variety of shots.

Thanks so much Kati and Darin for your patience and for being such GORGEOUS models.

KoKo Verde can't wait to shoot your wedding!

Deb + Jesse = Winter Wonderland Wedding

On Saturday I joined miss Lindsey and we rocked out the beautiful winter wonderland wedding of Deb and Jess- the hot fire fighting couple!!

We had been a little worried about the situation of the weather- but we were lucky ducks that the rain let up and we were able to get some beautiful shots of the trooper couple trudging through snow, not mud!

It was so great to meet you lovebirds.... best wishes to you!

Lindsey and I are back at it!

We just had the pleasure of working together on a gifted family photo shoot which was brimming with love, smiles, and giggling grand children.

We were so delighted to capture the joy of this holiday season for this lovely family.

The Olson and Schmidt Families

Last week the weather broke up its frigid gale just long enough for the sun to shine momentarily on the Olson and Schmidt families. They braved the winter elements and I was able to capture their lovely smiles.
