We are Scott & Kristine, husband and wife alternative wedding photographers behind Blue Elephant Photography. We are based in Oklahoma with our furry boy Fuji. We’re big fans of love, travel, and adventures which takes us to Colorado, New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas, Washington and across the world. We are passionate about documenting genuine and uninhibited love between two people because telling their story matters.
We woke up in the morning of Chazz & Kelsey’s Montana winter wedding, looked out the window, and saw a blanket of fresh fallen snow with mountains looming in the distance. It was going to be an amazing day! Missoula, Montana is a cozy town and with all the houses decorated for Christmas it felt like it was straight out of a Hallmark movie. The destination wedding was at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Missoula – Edgewater which is in the perfect spot by the river with a deck overlooking the surrounding snow covered mountains. In this winter wonderland we couldn’t stay inside! We hiked down to the waters edge for their first look before heading out to a hidden grove at the foot of the mountain. We love that the whole wedding day was so happy and intimate. It was just their very closest friends and families. And once the reception started it was a crazy dance party late into the night.
They are a beautiful couple inside and out. I love Kelsey’s fur coat with her gorgeous dress and evergreen bouquet. Chazz looked so sharp in his dress blues. We knew we would be a good match to capture their wedding. We’ve enjoyed working together on many weddings in the past with Kelsey. She’s one of the best hair stylists and makeup artists that we’ve worked with over the years. Kelsey is such a ray of sunshine! And Chazz is such a kind soul! So we truly feel so honoured to be able to document their day and celebrate with them. I can’t properly put into words how excited and filled with pure joy Chazz and Kelsey were on their wedding day. And no one really minded the cold because the day was so beautiful!
Congrats Chazz & Kelsey! Traveling is our passion. We love snow and mountains and these two are a very special couple to us; but just seeing how intensely happy they are together and us doing what we love, photographing their wedding day, was an amazing way to end the year.
