Not every love story starts in sunshine. Sometimes it starts in snow.

Trevor and Jamie’s engagement session happened on a quiet winter day in Vida, Montana. The kind of day where everything slows down. Frost-lined pine trees, soft light, and a couple who felt right at home in front of the camera. No forced poses. No filters. Just real winter in eastern Montana: layered in denim, flannel, and love.

And when summer rolled around? These two threw a celebration that brought a completely different vibe, warm, romantic, and full of life, at the beautiful Willowbrooke Barn in Billings, Montana.

Winter Engagement Session in Vida, MT

Vida might be tiny, but it’s the heartbeat of so many of my favorite sessions. And for Jamie and Trevor, it gave us the perfect backdrop for their winter engagement photos. We kept it simple: trees dusted in snow, boots in the powder, and the kind of quiet laughter that carries in cold air.

If you’re planning an engagement session in Eastern Montana, don’t wait for perfect weather. The best photos come from showing up as you are, whether that’s in six inches of snow or sunshine on the prairie.
