Hello, I'm Aurelia.
Meet the Girl Behind the Camera
My name is a super unique Latin name and is pronounced: "Ah-reel-yuh” which means "Golden.
I am a 3rd generation Montanan, born & raised right on the shores of Flathead Lake. My husband, Liam & I recently finished building our dream home, a barndominium, nestled at the base of the Mission Mountains on 30 acres. We have two kitties, Rambo and Kat, along with chickens so far on our little farm, with hopes of adding a few Longhorns & Scottish Highlander Cattle in the future! In my free time you will find me boating on Flathead Lake in the summer, hiking the remote mountain lakes, off-roading, hunting, fishing, reading, or working on the never-ending project of being a homeowner.
I love vintage antiques, vinyl, thrifting, collecting art, turquoise, National Parks, a good cocktail, black & white Audrey Hepburn movies, and classic muscle cars. My husband & I are big classic car enthusiasts and have started our own little collection. I am personally a proud owner of my dream 1969 Camaro. I frequently drive it around town in the summer, so if you see me, wave and say hi!

I have a record player and have recently started collecting records, it is another hobby of mine! On a Friday night you'll find me all dressed up on a date with my husband at our favorite sushi place, afterwards we are most likely driving home in one of our classic cars to binge watch Yellowstone together while having a glass of champagne.
I am a friend of Jesus, a passionate music lover, and i express my soul through playing the piano.
Over the years, and especially after experiencing deep personal loss, I’ve come to realize just how profoundly important photographs are. When someone you love is gone, photos become more than images—they become a lifeline. They are proof that a moment happened, that love was shared, and that life was lived. They are forever.
That’s why photography means so much to me. My goal is to capture real, genuine emotion—so that even 40 years from now, a single image can pull you right back into that moment. I want you to feel your photos in your soul: the intimacy, the romance, the joy. I often find myself wiping away tears while editing weddings, because I can feel the raw, authentic love radiating from the images. It’s an honor to preserve those feelings in something that will last, even when everything else changes.
Let’s chat over coffee about it! Fill out my contact form, shoot me an email, or DM me on instagram and lets connect! I absolutely love making new friends! I can't wait to meet you & capture magical moments together.

“Aurelia is amazing at her job! The photos are beyond incredible. They look like they should be in high end fashion shoots and magazines. Not only are the photos Aurelia did amazing, but the experience she provided in taking the photos was outstanding. Can’t thank Aurelia enough! 100/100 would recommend to everyone for their photos. Do yourself a favor and get Aurelia to take the photos of your special day.”
“Aurelia deserves all the praise in the world for her photography skills. She is able to capture gorgeous, breath taking photos that will truly show off your special life moments that you will want to keep forever as memories. She is very professional and so easy to work with every step throughout the wedding planning experience. She was able to keep smiles on our faces the whole time during both our engagement shoot and wedding day."
“Aurelia did amazing! My fiancé and I were visiting MT from ND and took the opportunity to get engagement pictures done. I happened to google Western Montana engagement photographers and found Aurelia k photography! We are so happy with the results. We got our photos back in a timely matter, but enough time for Aurelia to work her magic. We couldn’t be happier!”
“Aurelia was such a pleasure to work with, she truly made this such a fun experience, not to mention how gorgeous all the photos are, it is seriously so hard to choose our favorite!! If you are ever in Montana and need someone with an eye for photography and an awesome personality, I would choose her every time.”
“From Texas to Montana.. I cannot rave enough amazing things to say about Aurelia and her incredible work. Hands down the best in Montana! The experience was so much fun, adventurous and she open minded about things we wanted to come to life. The communication the whole time was top Notch. She made us feel welcome and I feel like I found a new friend that I’d known for years! Thank you truly, for turning a vision into a reality!"
