Montana Crumlish Photography
Capturing love and life in its most authentic form is about embracing the quiet moments, the raw emotions, and the subtle details that often go unnoticed. Whether it's a shared glance, a spontaneous laugh, or the gentle touch of a hand, my photography seeks to tell the story of connection in its truest, most natural state. With a focus on real moments and organic beauty, I aim to create images that reflect the essence of who you are and the love that surrounds you—unposed, unfiltered, and undeniably genuine. Life is full of fleeting moments, and through my lens, I aim to preserve them exactly as they are: real, beautiful, and deeply human.
My name is
Montana but feel free to call me Tana.
Say hello to the storyteller behind the lens.
Based in San Diego, CA
my work takes me all over the state and beyond, capturing life’s most intimate moments.
Photography for me is much more than just taking pictures - it's about documenting the heart and soul of your journey and preserving the essence of your story.
I strive to capture every smile, tear, and milestone, so you can relive the emotions of each moment, even years later.
I approach each wedding and session with a documentary-style mindset, using my camera and empathy to capture the genuine, unscripted moments that show the true beauty and complexity of your life.
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

“Where do I start? Montana has photographed the most special occasions for me over the past 9 years, from my college graduation to my wedding day. Simply put, she is truly amazing at what she does. Not only does she make me feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she makes it fun and memorable. Montana is SO talented and it shines through her work. Every time I receive my albums I’m in awe of how she’s able to capture the essence and beauty of each moment. When I got engaged, there was no question that Montana had to be the photographer for my engagement session AND wedding and I would recommend her 100 times over!!”

KIND WORDS
“I have completed 3 shoots now with Montana over the past few years and am amazed by her work every time. She is incredible at making it fun, especially when taking photos can be awkward for some people. She is great at directing the poses and making them look natural, candid, and authentic. Two of them were with my lab, Calvin, and she helped make the shoot stress free while getting the best shots of him and I. She sticks to her turnaround time, which is not always the case for other photographers I’ve booked with, so that is greatly appreciated. Her editing style is amazing. It is the perfect amount and is a perfect blend of natural light and soft tones.
I highly recommend booking with Montana Crumlish Photography, especially if you are looking for memories that will last a lifetime. I look forward to my next shoot with her. ”
