eds. As a DJ, Christopher works closely with clients to create a soundtrack that reflects who they are and set the tone for the entire event. Abi has been working as a lifestyle, portrait and nightlife photographer for over 7 years. Her goal is to capture people’s natural interactions, and to create a timeless visual narrative. She loves documenting all aspects of the wedding day, from the sweet and subtle nuances, to the most dramatic moments. If you’d like to hear more about us and how we work please email us at: [email protected]

Christopher and Abi were co-founders of Missoula, Montana’s most popular weekly dance party, Dead Hipster (deadhipster.com), along with their frequent collaborator Michael Gill. Abi began taking pictures at the age of 12 when she starting borrowing cameras from a family friend who happened to be a professional photographer. Christopher began DJing at the age of 11 (not making this up) when he used two tape decks and a stereo receiver to rock the house at a junior high school dance. He was asked to stop for playing the song “Rump Shaker” (Seriously)

Extremely frustrated. What is the point of court orders when my abusive ex can just flat out ignore them with no consequences?? Also, just so everyone knows if you “aren’t picking sides” you already did. And you are choosing to stand by someone who physically, sexually, emotionally, psychologically and financially abused me for years. You are standing by someone who without a second thought walked away from a child who called him dad for most of his life because he stood up for his mom. You are standing by someone who has another daughter they abandoned years ago. You are standing by someone who uses their toddler as a tool for manipulation and a way to punish me. So go ahead and stand by him, but know that in doing so you are making it very clear that you do not support or believe his victims. I’ve tried being nice, I’ve tried being a “grey rock” but I refuse to be shamed into silence and continue to accept his abusive behavior so that I don’t make the people that don’t want to believe our reality, uncomfortable. Believe women. And maybe imagine just how uncomfortable it is to be a victim, not just hear about them.

Trigger warning.

This time last year my doctors wanted to hospitalize me because my appetite had disappeared. I was losing weight fast and when I forced myself to eat I would get extremely nauseous and throw it all up. My body was literally beginning to shut down and they couldn’t figure out what was causing it. I was at my lowest point ever and constantly wanted to give up.

My best friend bought me a plane ticket and Mercy and I went and stayed with her family for two weeks while she nursed me back to health. For the first time in months I was able to eat again without forcing it. I was able to think straight, and make decisions again. I was able to keep up with Mercy and didn’t want to give up anymore. The day before we were supposed to fly home I broke down. I couldn’t explain it, but everything in me was panicking at the thought of returning home. But I did. All of my ailments returned as soon as I was back.

Then something unexpected happened. My husband came home one day and told me he was leaving me, that he never loved me. As I tried wrapping my head around everything that happened something even more unexpected happened. Every mysterious medical issue I had been battling disappeared. Within one week I felt healthier and happier than I had in over a decade. What I learned was devastating, and liberating. I had been living in a constant state of fight, flight, freeze for 15 years. My body was literally at its breaking point and I don’t think I would have made it through another year.

Fast forward to this morning when I got this text. Ten minutes after receiving it I just started sobbing. The weight that was suddenly lifted was undeniable. This has been the hardest year of my life, I would never want to do it again, but it’s also been the GREATEST year of my life. Because I have my life back. I have my happiness, my drive, my playfulness, my hope, my freedom, my compassion, my confidence back. I still have a lot of work and healing ahead of me, but for the first time I can see past my present and am excited for my future. If my honesty makes you uncomfortable, good. We should all be a little uncomfortable more often. I am a survivor. ❤️
