Montana is in my bones — so is telling your story.
Montana Wedding + Elopement Photographer
Timeless photos from a true montana local.
Hey, I'm Aurelia! But you can call me Reals.
As a third-generation Montanan, I’ve grown up in the majestic mountains, hiked to the secret hidden waterfalls and explored all the abandoned barns scattering the back roads. If you're dreaming of a Montana wedding or an intimate elopement in Montana, you've come to the right place. I’m here for whatever kind of day your heart desires— from a secluded Glacier National Park elopement to a big wedding celebration in a golden Montana field at sunset.
I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in Western Montana, capturing wild love affairs in natural light, with exquisite true-to-color edits, and a little bit of that western magic. My signature style is warm, timeless, and storytelling-driven — always prioritizing real connection and authenticity over forced posed moments.
If you’re dreaming of photos that feel undeniably like you — genuine, romantic, a little adventurous — images that will become treasured heirlooms for future generations, you’ve found your photographer. I can’t wait to connect with you and document your story in a way that feels real, effortless, and deeply rooted in the spirit of Montana.
For the couples whose hearts desire adventure + romance in:
Your most cherished day– deeper than just photos, capturing the essence of your love story with artistry + heart.
As a photographer who was once a bride — I know the magnitude of having quality timeless wedding photos that you will treasure. They’re not just for the present — they’re an everlasting reminder of one of the most memorable moments in your life.
But I also know your wedding day isn’t just about the photos — it’s about celebrating your beautiful love with your spouse and your dearest loved ones.
My commitment as your wedding photographer goes far beyond the lens. I’m here to make sure your day feels organized, enjoyable, and true to who you are — whether that means hiking a scenic trail for your mountain elopement, exploring back roads at sunset, or sneaking away for a quiet moment together after your ceremony.
When plans shift or Montana’s unpredictable weather rolls in, I’ll be right there with you — calm, professional, and experienced, ready to pivot to plan b or c. From bustling your dress, to fixing your veil, or helping fill out your marriage license, I’m here to serve you so you and your partner have the best joy-filled day ever!
Whatever that looks like — wild and adventurous or an intimate celebration — I’m here to document it wholeheartedly, so you can soak every moment in.
Two hearts, a wild landscape, and a day that's uniquely you. Whether you are exchanging vows on a soaring mountain top or in a quiet garden celebrating with your nearest and dearest, I'm there to document every intentional moment.
You've got the ring, the vision, and now you need the person to capture it all. No matter if you're planning an intimate destination wedding or a packed dance floor with 300 of your favorite humans — I'm in.
Engagement, anniversary, or just because — your story deserves to be told. Let’s capture the big love and little moments that make your connection so undeniably beautiful.

"Aurelia was an absolute dream of a photographer! Our beach wedding photos were better than I could have ever dreamed, she has this gift of capturing beautiful moments perfectly. I would recommend Aurelia to anyone, whether it’s for your wedding or just wanting to capture a moment forever, she is your girl!! Anyone who sees our photos always comments on how incredible they are and we cannot thank Aurelia enough!"
“Aurelia made our destination wedding absolute perfection! My husband and I are from the Midwest and only got to travel to MT once before our wedding day. Her communication skills are unmatched. I asked her many questions throughout the year of planning, and she gave the best recommendations/advice. She also worked with me on creating a perfect timeline, so the day flowed flawlessly. Our family still talks about how wonderful our photographer was! "
“Aurelia captures BEAUTIFUL photos. When I was looking for a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted sunny, happy and authentic photos to capture our engagement and wedding day. She captured our relationship and each of us exactly as we are to create photos that are timeless and we will treasure always. She is very organized, but not pushy at all about your vision and she does not overwhelm you on the actual wedding day! She is an amazing person and photographer!!”
“Aurelia took our wedding pictures and ever since she has been my go to photographer. She goes above and beyond to get all the pictures you ever wanted. Even when the session time is up, she will push for that last great picture you had pinned on your board. She makes posing for pictures so natural, easy, fun, and enjoyable to the point you forget you were ever nervous to have your picture taken. She is passionate about her work and great at it. I look forward to our next photo session.”
