Shawna is a caring, outgoing, adventurous officiant with over 24 years experience in the wedding industry. 

In 2018 she celebrated her 18th season as a photographer and through the encouragement of a dear friend and colleague decided to branch out into officiating. Although Shawna's hope was to simply fill a need for couples wanting to be married in the mountains of Montana, she quickly discovered that officiating is a part of the wedding day that she is very passionate about making extra special. Now, 6 years later, Shawna could never have dreamed to love officiating as much as she does. 

Shawna specializes in non-denominational and secular ceremonies that are ALL custom, heartfelt and unique. She loves adventure, is definitely up for hiking somewhere special, and would love to help you get married wherever your love may take you. 

FromShawna: "Congratulations on your engagement and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you. I have witnessed thousands of weddings and my biggest take away from all those years is that I want you to feel like your wedding ceremony is different. That it is truly a reflection of your unique love story and made just for you."

Raul was a local non-denominational pastor with 12+ years experience in officiating weddings, elopements and vow renewals AND is one of the best humans you will ever meet.

From Raul: “Congratulations on getting married! I know that you have many options when it comes to choosing an officiant, and it's imperative that you find one who is "just right" for the both of you. Officiating is what I was created to do. I have a strong, fluid speaking voice, personable, flexible and easy to get along with. I take your event seriously but also like to have fun! My experience and my humble appreciation for your ceremony will help you create an unforgettable moment. I perform marriage ceremonies, vow renewals and commitment events that fit the style of your relationship. Your ceremony should be uniquely YOURS. 

I perform ceremonies both within the Christian faith as well as non-religious style if preferred. Ceremonies with many optional readings are ready to be customized just for you and performed wherever you like to be on the beach, in the mountains, at formal or informal settings, in front of 2 or 200 even 2000 people. I look forward to being an integral part of a memorable experience.

From Alex: “Congratulations on your engagement and the start of the amazing journey of marriage! I’m sure you are already having to make some big decisions regarding your special day.

I am a gifted speaker, relationally driven, easy to work with, and with that I will work diligently with you to make sure that your ceremony fits the saying “the most special day of our lives”.
