JESSIE HAIDLE

I'm so happy you're here! First off, thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me! You guys are THE reason I get to have my dream job! THANK YOU.

So, me: A Michigander living in the Big Sky state of Montana with my husband- Trey, son- Leo, and cat- Maz. A lover of adventure, sunshine, mountains, lakes, houseplants, fresh fruit, morning coffee dates, and a good book!

As a tiny 7 year old I started using my imaginary camera to take photos of moments I wanted to remember. (This process included holding out my imaginary camera and audibly saying 'click!' lol.) My Grandma, also an artist, gifted me my first point and shoot camera when I was 8. In the Spring of 2022 I quit what I thought was my dream job as a marketing manager to pursue photography as a career. It has been one of the best decisions (and most scary) of my life. I truly believe that this is where the Lord has called me. I go to bed on Fridays craving Monday morning to start back working (ACTUALLY!!!) I get to meet the coolest couples in the coolest places on the biggest day of their lives!

I moved to Montana in 2020 in pursuit of adventure, something new, and a certain cute boy....lucky for me I ended up getting to MARRY him! Trey is a youth pastor here and we get the pleasure of working together, often! (He officiates.)

We welcomed our son, Leo into the world in September. Motherhood has been 10000000000000000000x more fun than I ever expected.

My Love Story:

Trey and I have kind of a unique story:

It all starts in 2017 when my good friend, Whitney told me that she thought I'd like her brother. I thought it would never work out. I was only in Montana for Summers, and back in Michigan for the rest of the year. So finding a Montana-man boifrand was not top of my list.

In 2018, Trey and I both started working at Clydehurst. He thought I was cute, and I wasn't in to it. (Big 'oof' on my part.) Then, halfway through the summer of the sweetest little flirtations like him asking me my favorite breakfast food over a radio while we are leading 50 kids up a mountain together, our attitudes flip-flopped. Trey realized I wasn't interested right when I became interested. That Summer ended and we went our own separate ways for the next two years. Two Summers later in 2020, I worked at Clydehurst again. One weekend a group of us decided to go to a rodeo, at that Rodeo was Trey who I hadn't seen in YEARS!

Reconnecting with Trey felt so right. We connected in a way that was just missing before. A few months after I moved to Montana, on Thanksgiving, we started officially dating, less than 12 months later we were married on November 12, 2021!

It's seriously so crazy to me, that that is our story. I NEVER in a million years ever thought I would marry someone so soon after starting to date, but with Trey, there's never been a question.

It was fast, but it was perfect, and it was so us. I wouldn't change our story for the world.
