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.

St. Thomas Wedding: Trash the Dress

You know what’s awesome?  Brides and grooms jumping into the ocean.  And that’s just what Tammy and Troy did after they got married in St. Thomas.  Waiting a couple days for the rain to clear as a great choice that made for a fun session walking through downtown and ending up in the water.  Devon […]

Montana Maternity Shoot: Heidi and Casey
