Big Sky Wedding Videographer
Mountain weddings under Lone Peak and along the Gallatin, filmed with a cinematic, documentary eye.
Big Sky does the dramatic part. My job is to keep up with it.
Big Sky is about an hour south of my home in Bozeman, up through the Gallatin Canyon. It's one of the most cinematic places to get married in Montana: Lone Peak towers over everything at more than 11,000 feet, the river runs right alongside the road, and the evening light pours into the canyon.
The weddings here tend to be a mix of resort and lodge celebrations near the mountain and old-West ranch weddings down in the canyon. I love both. One gives you sweeping, big-sky scale, the other gives you log cabins, horses and history, and a good film uses all of it.

Morgan and Jax were married at 320 Guest Ranch, a homestead in the Gallatin Canyon that's been welcoming guests since 1900.
What I love about Big Sky.
Lone Peak as your backdrop
There aren't many venues where an 11,166-foot peak shows up in the background of your vows. I plan ceremony angles and portrait spots around it so it's in the frame at the moments that matter.
The Gallatin Canyon
The drive from Bozeman to Big Sky follows the Gallatin River the whole way. Canyon walls, river bends and evergreen slopes make for some of the best portrait and first-look locations anywhere.
Ranch history with real character
320 Guest Ranch began in 1898 as a 160-acre homestead along Buffalo Horn Creek and has been hosting guests since 1900. Venues like that come with a story, and the old cabins and barns give a film a timeless look.
Weddings in every season
Summer brings wildflowers and long evenings, fall turns the aspens gold, and winter brings snow-covered pines that glow at dusk. Big Sky is a ski town, so a winter wedding here can be magical.
Planning a Big Sky wedding.
- Give your guests drive timeBig Sky is roughly an hour from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport. In winter the canyon road can be slow, so build in a cushion for guests and vendors.
- Elevation changes the lightAt this altitude the midday sun is bright and harsh, and the evening light is soft and warm. A ceremony in the late afternoon gives the most flattering light on film.
- Think about the seasonPeak summer and holiday weeks book up quickly at Big Sky resorts and ranches. Shoulder seasons can mean better rates and quieter trails for portraits.
