The France trip has ended on an artistic note in Amboise with Monét impressionistic scenes. There's only been time between travels to work on one image but there are many more stored on a hard drive that I will get to later. The technique for recording scenes is definitely different today but the same Monét paintings are still alive in the French gardens.

Paris is rich in faces and scenes. For a photographer it does not get any better.

Sometimes it is good to get away from what
is familiar and shoot for the joy of shooting. Paris, France provides the perfect place for that.

April and Casey of Georgia had a wonderful approach to their ranch wedding located in the Bull Mountains of Montana between Billings and Roundup. Whatever the day brought was the day they were going to have. A rare spring snowstorm affected only their small area of Montana on a day that only three days earlier had been forecasted to be 60 sunny degrees. It was not to be and their 15 guests huddled under blankets on white chairs set at the edge of a windswept cliff over looking the property.

The couple loved the clean snow covering the otherwise brown early spring meadows and trees.

They had their perfect Montana wedding and many of their closest family around to warm them.

Another lesson in taking what you are given. Nina and Alan planned for months for their Big Sky, Montana wedding to be a tribute to their love of the Montana mountains and snow. But warm temperatures and rain doused many of the planned family photos and couple photos. But no matter; the emotion of the day always wins out over any weather. Their day again points out how important it is to stay fexible in your plans and embrace what you are given because it is your day and your story unfolding in front of you.
