Modern Elegance in the Heart of Montana

Montana is often celebrated for its rugged charm—wide-open skies, majestic mountain ranges, and rustic barns. But there’s another side to Big Sky Country that often goes unnoticed: its understated elegance and modern luxury. As a Montana wedding and elopement photographer, I wanted to showcase this modern sophistication, and what better place than the historic Finlen Hotel in Butte, Montana?

The Finlen Hotel, with its timeless architecture and rich history, became the perfect backdrop for this vision. We sought to elevate the narrative of Montana weddings beyond the expected, showcasing that Montana can be a destination for refined, modern weddings while still embracing its natural beauty.

The Inspiration Behind the Shoot

The vision for this styled shoot was sparked by Ashley, our stunning muse, whose fiery red hair was reminiscent of Jessica Rabbit’s sultry allure. From the moment I saw her, I knew she would embody the sophistication and boldness we wanted to highlight. Her striking look brought an edgy yet elegant vibe to the session, proving that Montana weddings can have a luxurious, modern twist.

We paired her look with classic black-tie attire, soft lighting, and rich textures to create a timeless, cinematic feel. The Finlen Hotel’s grand interiors provided a perfect balance of vintage charm and contemporary sophistication, elevating every frame.

Breaking the Mold of Montana Weddings

When many think of Montana weddings, they envision cowboy boots, barns, and rugged landscapes. While these elements hold a special place, we wanted to reveal that Montana can also be a destination for couples seeking elegance and modernity.

This shoot celebrates the diversity of Montana’s wedding industry—where rustic charm meets urban sophistication, and natural beauty blends seamlessly with luxury.
