Maelyn was incredible! She captured so many beautiful moments, both large and small, and made sure that the wedding day will be remembered forever, in all its beauty! She went above and beyond by visiting Natural Bridge Falls where the proposal happened and got some majestic and intimate images that both will cherish for a lifetime. ❤️

I am so happy that we were able to book Maelyn for our wedding. The photos are absolutely gorgeous! I seriously could not be more pleased with how they turned out. She was so easy to work with, was thorough about what pictures should be taken and what people/things we wanted pictures of, and her communication was fabulous! She made great suggestions for poses and such and I’m so happy she did because those photos are wonderful!

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

Hi! My name is Maelyn Bettinger. I’m a Montana wedding photographer with a deep love for real connection and telling love stories exactly as they unfold. Based in Montana, but always ready to travel. I work with couples who value authenticity, adventure, and meaningful moments over perfection. Whether you’re planning an intimate Montana elopement, a mountain wedding, or a destination celebration somewhere new, I approach every day with a calm presence and a warm, personal touch. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, seen, and completely yourself—so your photos reflect who you truly are, not just how your day looked. As a traveling wedding photographer, I believe the best images come from trust, laughter, and shared experience. From quiet in-between moments to the big, joyful celebrations, I document your story with intention, heart, and an eye for natural beauty—wherever your love takes you. Amavi Film is a wedding photography company based in Lolo, MT.
