MEET TAWNEE

Montana based wedding photographer

Welcome. I'm Tawnee

Romantic. Cinematic. Story-driven.

My work is a thoughtful blend of timeless editorial portraits, honest documentary moments, and nostalgic details that feel like stills from a romance film. I aim to create imagery that’s both elevated and emotionally rich—images that will feel as timeless in 50 years as they do today.

I photograph on both digital and 35mm film, and also offer Super 8 motion film for couples who want a layered, nostalgic record of their day. Whether it’s the joy in a fleeting glance or the way your veil catches in the wind, I’m always chasing what feels real, beautiful, and meaningful.

I believe the most meaningful images are the ones that feel—The quiet glances. The wind in your veil. The soft touch of your grandmother’s hand. The real, unposed, unrepeatable magic of it all.

I believe in blending editorial composition with documentary soul—a balance of gently guided portraits and organic, unfolding moments. I’ll give direction when needed to help you feel confident and natural, but I’ll never pull you out of a moment just to stage one. Your day is yours. I’m there to witness it with care, not choreograph it.


Visually, my work is romantic, cinematic, and timeless. Think soft tones, a true-to-life color palette, natural light, delicate grain from 35mm film, and imagery that carries weight and warmth. I’m drawn to layered stories, honest emotion, and the kind of nostalgia you can feel in your bones.

My Approach

First, let me just say—what a beautiful season you’re in. Whether you’re still in the early stages of dreaming or finalizing the last few details, I know the weight and wonder that comes with planning a wedding. It’s not just about a day—it’s about legacy. It’s about your story. And it would be the deepest honor to help you tell it.

I don’t take lightly the responsibility of photographing such sacred, fleeting moments. I’m not here to stage a highlight reel—I’m here to capture the soft in-betweens, the quiet glances, the way your love feels. I want you to be fully present on your wedding day—to soak it all in, to hold your partner’s hand, to laugh with your people—and know that I’m there, gently and attentively preserving it all.

My approach is rooted in storytelling, emotion, and timeless beauty. I blend editorial composition with honest, candid documentation—creating images that are both elegant and deeply human. Whether you’re marrying in the mountains of Montana or celebrating oceans away, my goal is to serve you with intention, care, and artistry—from start to finish.


If my work has resonated with you, I hope it’s because you see yourself in it. And I hope you know how excited I would be to walk with you in this chapter and create something you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Here For What Means the Most to You

My Creative Process

Observational Storytelling

My work is rooted in quiet, observational storytelling—capturing the in-between moments that often go unnoticed but mean everything later. As a Montana and destination wedding photographer, I document your day with an intuitive, art-driven approach that preserves authentic emotion, natural interactions, and the small details that define your story. Rather than staging every moment, I allow your wedding to unfold naturally, blending documentary coverage with an elevated, editorial eye.

Intentional pacing

Beautiful imagery comes from a day that feels calm, grounded, and unhurried. I help craft a thoughtful photography timeline—built around light, location, and your priorities—so every moment has space to breathe. Whether you're celebrating in the Montana mountains or across the world at a destination venue, intentional pacing ensures your wedding experience feels effortless and your photos reflect the true emotion of the day.

Artful direction

When direction is needed, I guide with clarity, ease, and a gentle editorial touch. My approach combines refined posing with natural movement, helping you feel confident and connected while still looking like yourselves. The result is a blend of elevated portraits and honest, emotive frames that feel timeless—not overly posed or forced. This balance is especially important for couples seeking a luxury wedding photographer who values both artistry and authenticity.

film-inspired nostalgia

I’m a hybrid photographer using digital, 35mm film, medium format, and Super 8 motion picture to create imagery filled with depth and emotion. Film brings a nostalgic texture and romantic imperfection that digital alone can’t replicate. Incorporating film into your wedding day adds a cinematic, heirloom-quality feel—perfect for couples drawn to timeless, editorial storytelling with a sentimental edge.
