Cou Cou Studio bio picture

Welcome to Cou Cou Studio ©


Cou Cou Studio is based in Missoula, Montana and provides wedding photography in Missoula and across the state.  At Cou Cou Studio © we believe in modern photos with stories to tell.  Happy, funny, breathtaking, ridiculous stories.  On a scale of importance from 1 to 10 we rate creativity with a 23.  We are obsessed with making clients ecstatic and consistently exceeding expectations.  We believe you share in our love of life, frivolity and fantastic photography.  And a day-in-day-out fascination with color, composition and artistic expression for good measure.

So let's start a conversation.  Let's start talking about what kind of images you believe in.  What kind of moments you want to freeze and how Cou Cou Studio © can be a part of them.  Every story has to start somewhere.  We hope yours starts with us.  You can also follow us on Twitter or fan us on Facebook.

Best of 2011 :: Montana Destination Wedding Photographer ::

:: Montana Family Portraits :: Kari and Family ::

Kari and her family were so much fun to shoot.  Despite cold temps and foggy/snowy weather this crew was still game for a photo session in the field outside their home.  It’s hard to go wrong with nice people, hilarious dogs, and Montana for a background.  Thanks for a great session guys!

:: Montana Photographer :: Alexa Portraits ::

  It’s that time of year again: portrait time.  I had a great time with the Lang family earlier in October shooting senior portraits for their daughter Alexa and then doing some family pics for them for the holidays.  Alexa picked out a fantastic spot to do the shoot — I love it when people […]

:: Emily and Mark :: Bigfork, Montana Wedding

Emily and Mark are basically ridiculous fun people surrounded by friends and family who love them very much.  If that is all you know as you look at this blog post I think you’d have the main idea nailed.  Lido and I had a great time shooting them as they got married at John Paul […]
