Billings & Red Lodge Wedding Videographer
Weddings from the barns outside Billings to the Beartooth front, Red Lodge, the Stillwater Valley and Clark, Wyoming.
Big granite peaks, wide-open valleys, and skies that go on forever.
South-central Montana is some of my favorite country to film. Billings is Montana's largest city, and an hour or so south the Beartooths rise up, some of the most rugged mountains in the Northern Rockies. In between is wide-open ranch land that runs from Red Lodge and the Stillwater Valley to the Wyoming line. Weddings out here feel personal and unhurried, the way a Montana wedding should.
I've filmed a barn wedding just outside Billings, a celebration in Nye up the Stillwater Valley, and one just across the line in Clark, Wyoming, where the Clarks Fork comes out of its canyon. All three had that same feeling: big sky, open land and family all around.

Why I love filming out here.
Barn weddings outside Billings
Just outside the city, the country opens up fast. Brooke and Tahuna's wedding at WillowBrooke Barn had everything I love: warm wood, golden fields and a sky that fills the whole frame.
Mountains right on top of you
In Nye the Beartooths rise straight up from the Stillwater Valley. You don't have to hike anywhere for a dramatic shot, because the backdrop is right behind your ceremony.
The Beartooth Highway
The Beartooth Highway climbs 68 miles from Red Lodge to Yellowstone's Northeast Entrance, past alpine lakes and snowfields. It's usually open from around Memorial Day to mid-October, and it makes for unforgettable portraits or a day-after shoot.
Wide Wyoming skies
Clark sits at the base of the mountains near the mouth of the Clarks Fork Canyon. The open sagebrush country means huge sunsets, and it's where Lilyan and Cale's film got its name.
Planning a wedding in this corner of Montana.
- Easy to fly intoBillings Logan International Airport is right in town, which makes Billings-area venues easy for out-of-state guests. Red Lodge is a little over an hour south, and Nye and Clark are farther out, so share drive times and lodging early.
- Watch the highway calendarIf you want portraits up on the Beartooth Highway, plan for summer or early fall. The road closes for winter, and its opening date shifts every year with the snow.
- Plan for mountain weatherWeather changes fast near the Beartooths, even in summer. Pack layers for the wedding party and have a covered option for guests.
