We are wedding photo capable, yes, but...

There’s something special about video—it brings the emotions to life in a way photos can’t. From the sound of your vows to the laughter and tears of your loved ones, videos let you feel the day all over again.

Not to mention the benefit of having a photo and video team to seemlessly capture all components of your big day.

Have you ever dreamed of something so incredible it feels just out of reach? One of those fleeting thoughts that seem more like a daydream than a real possibility? Sometimes, simply saying the words out loud can set the wheels in motion for the most extraordinary journeys.

That’s exactly what happened to us a year ago. It started as a casual musing: “Wouldn’t it be cool to take senior portraits in Iceland?” At the time, it felt like a far-fetched idea—a beautiful thought, but not something we could imagine actually doing. Little did we know, that single sentence would spark an adventure we’ll never forget.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ONE AND ONLY GARRETT THOMPSON! 🥳

We won’t mention how long it took us to calculate your age… but let’s just say you’ve earned the title of “office dad.”

Without you, there’d be no FLS, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything you do—from spicing up mundane office days with your unique commentary to keeping us entertained with your Top 5 jokes (on eternal repeat).

Thanks for being the glue that keeps our team together and the compass that keeps us on track (apart from the occasional squirrel). Your leadership and humor mean the world to us. Have a drink at HAPS for us tonight—you’ve more than earned it! 🍻

'Tis the season of proposals💍

Are you planning to propose? Have you considered hiring a photographer to be a part of the surprise?

Hiring a photographer to be a part of the proposal allows for the raw emotions and candid moments to be captured, allowing you and your partner to relive that moment over and over again.

We would love to be a part of the day and help to capture the joy and excitement of a proposal.

Visit our website to book a surprise engagement, and don't worry your secret will be safe with us!

How does one know if a couple has “IT”?…

IT being the uncanny understanding of the journey that lies ahead,

IT being the beyond-their-years maturity to handle the everyday highs and lows together with grace and optimism,

IT being the grasp of love on a biblical level, where vows are more than just pretty words and the commitment to nurture that love on a daily basis, rain or shine,

IT being a true love for a good dance party, and…

IT being a support system of only the highest quality, friends, and family devoted to the sanctuary and encouragement of these two along the path.

These two have IT in spades, and IT will serve them well for years upon years into the future.

When Blair worked for us at FLS, she wrote her own birthday posts on our social media.

Now that her wedding is tomorrow, we couldn’t come up with anything fancy on our own.

So…. See you tomorrow, I guess.

If you’d like to adjust our post, just leave a comment with a TPS report by the end of the day. TIA!

Why smile through the cold, when you don't have to.

Winter is a great time for indoor headshots, there is no need to fight the weather when you can be in the comfort of a studio or indoor location.

Indoor headshots allow for control of the lighting, background, and there is no need to worry about the weather and its unpredictability, or trying to smile through the cold.

Our Story

Floating Leaf Studios is a Montana wedding and portrait photographer devoted to couples with deep Montana roots.

Authentic Montana love stories give us life. We grew up in Montana and, as the saying goes, have "the same s*** on our boots as you do."

We love where we live. We love the history, and grandeur, and poetic beauty that is the Big Sky State. We work in a building constructed in 1884, and constantly stare out our studio windows at Mt. Helena, only two minutes away.

We think weddings, like the wild Montana mountains, deserve to be observed with splendor, and that splendor turned into art. Our job is to create images that you are just as excited about in thirty years as you are on your wedding day.
