Weddings
A long way from anywhere
The approach
The landscape is not a backdrop. It is half the portrait.
The wedding work comes from the same instinct as the landscape work: weather, distance, scale, movement, changing light, and a willingness to go farther to make the photograph. Randy photographs people in the country they chose, at a scale that makes the place matter.
Let it rain
If it rains, let it rain.
The couples this suits are not looking for perfectly controlled conditions. They are willing to walk farther, get dirty, deal with wind, snow, altered plans or difficult ground, because those are usually the conditions that make an extraordinary photograph rather than a predictable one.
People in the landscape
Couples placed within real country and real weather, at a scale that makes the place matter.
Editorial craft
Lighting and production instincts carried over from years working in fashion and portrait photography.
Selective calendar
A limited number of weddings each year, in Montana and further afield.
