Weddings above the treeline

I photograph small weddings, elopements and landscapes in Montana, and spend each summer photographing elopements in the Swiss and Austrian Alps.

More about Mara

From couples

Mara photographed our whole day without us ever noticing a camera. The gallery made my dad cry.

We hiked two hours to a lake for our ceremony and Mara carried the flowers the whole way.
