The Silver Knot Wedding Videographer

The hillside setting is the star here! Outdoor ceremonies at The Silver Knot put the Mission Mountains directly behind your vows, with open Mission Valley sky overhead and nothing blocking the view. Having filmed here, I know how that backdrop reads on camera at different times of day, and I'll make sure to angle your ceremony so the mountains, the light, and the two of you all land in the same frame.

Yes! The open Mission Valley is a fantastic place to fly, and aerial shots of the venue with the Missions rising behind it and Flathead Lake country stretching north give your film a sense of place that ground cameras can't match.

Evenings are special here. As the sun drops toward the west side of the valley, the light warms across the open ground and the Mission Mountains catch that end-of-day glow, which makes late-afternoon ceremonies and golden hour portraits the sweet spot for film. The big windows also mean the indoor spaces stay bright and natural-looking on camera through the afternoon, so your timeline has flexibility either way.

Beautiful! High ceilings with chandeliers, reclaimed corral wood walls, and expansive windows that provide excellent natural light and frame the Mission Mountains perfectly. This means the reception space has warmth and depth that a lot of venues need heavy decorating to accomplish. For video, that translates to flattering light on faces and a pleasant atmosphere for your guests.

Yes, and it's one of my favorite things about this venue. The Silver Knot's two-day rental format means your rehearsal dinner, setup day, and celebration can all happen on the property, which opens the door to meet all of your needs: rehearsal toasts, the calm before the day, candid moments between events. Rehearsal dinner filming is an easy add-on, and I'll build the coverage plan around your weekend.

The Silver Knot hosts celebrations up to 160 guests, and bigger rooms reward preparation. I scout my angles before guests arrive, capture multi-source audio so your vows and toasts come through clean over a full house, and move through the celebration documentary-style so the film feels like the day did: full, warm, and truly yours. The venue's layout keeps getting ready, ceremony, cocktails, and reception close together, which means I miss nothing in between.

None! The Silver Knot is close to home for me, so I do not charge travel fees for weddings here, ever. Your quote covers your coverage and nothing sneaky, with no surprises after you sign.

Once your date is locked with the venue, reach out as soon as you can. Summer and early fall Saturdays across the Mission Valley and Flathead Lake area book 4-8 months ahead, and two-day weekend celebrations take a full weekend slot on my calendar, so those go first. If your date is closer than that, ask anyway; there's a good chance it works!
