Photography that feels grounded, intentional, and true to your story — wherever it takes us.

I’m Montana Zion — a Salt Lake City–based wedding, elopement, and destination photographer creating warm, earthy, editorial imagery for couples who want their photos to feel real: full of movement, emotion, and the quiet in-between moments most people never think to look for.

If you’re dreaming of photos that feel honest, atmospheric, and deeply connected to who you are — whether we’re in the Utah desert or somewhere oceans away — you’re in the right place.

My Style & Approach

I blend a relaxed, documentary energy with an elevated, editorial eye. That means:

You’ll never feel stiff or overly posed.
I guide gently when needed, but leave space for natural connection.

Your dynamic leads the way.
I notice the subtle things — the way you interact, the rhythm between you, the energy of the moment — and use that to shape the experience so your photos feel effortless and comfortable.

The landscape is part of the story.
I’m inspired by light, texture, and place — whether that’s the red rock of Southern Utah, coastal cliffs, quiet forests, or cities filled with movement. Travel is part of my creative identity, and photographing people in meaningful places is one of my favorite things.

Why I Photograph Love

I’m endlessly drawn to the small, honest moments — a hand on a shoulder, a breath shared, laughter that softens into something tender. Those are the things that make your story yours.

I approach photography with presence, intuition, and a calm sense of awareness. My couples often tell me I make them feel comfortable quickly — like they can simply be themselves and enjoy the moment, without worrying how they look or what to do.

And because the land matters to me, a portion of every booking is donated to the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance to help protect the places we love and photograph.

A Little About Me

I’m a flight attendant turned full-time creative — calm in chaos, relaxed under pressure, and always ready to travel for a story. When I’m not photographing couples, you’ll find me at hot yoga, hanging with my husband and adorable pup, Cashew, baking sourdough, or sipping martinis with friends.

Those slower, grounding parts of my life shape the warmth and natural feel of my work.

If you’re drawn to photos that feel warm, artful, and deeply authentic — near or far — I’d love to document your story.

Let’s create something beautiful together.
