Spokane Wedding Photographer: Si and Jasmine at the Chateau Rive

Before this wedding I hadn’t really ever talked with Si. That said, we had known of each other, been in the same circles, but I had never really gotten the chance to visit with him - to talk. Which is super unfortunate because this dude is solid. I have loved getting to know him, and as I’ve gotten to know him - I’ve also gotten to know his beautiful bride. These two are so incredibly kind toward each other, they treat each other with such thoughtfulness and I absolutely love spending time with them. Their wedding at the Chateau Rive downtown Spokane was absolutely beautiful, and filled with so many great people, tons of smiles, and an incredible time. I’m pumped I get to share with you these photos, these memories, and I hope you love them as much as I loved taking them.

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Robert & Nicole’s Historic Davenport Wedding

If you’re wondering what a wedding can look like on a rainy day in September look no further. Well, really we had a good mix of smoke, rain, and sun (sunset WAS a thing!) Robert and Nicole had it all, from some incredible emotional moments (such as when Nicole’s mom was doing up her dress, or they were saying their vows, or even when all her sorority girls did their chant) to some really fun and engaging ones. There was laughter, tears, and a whole lot of great dancing. In short, their wedding was amazing, and I have no doubt it’s not just because they are two amazing people, who are kind, thoughtful, and so quick to smile. I really have enjoyed getting to know these two, and I absolutely loved being there for their wedding.

CDA Family Photography: The Cheung Family

Associate photographer Dan was able to spend some time with the Cheung family to capture great moments of them, so I think I should leave it to him to write about that experience. This is what Dan had to say: I had the fantastic privilege of meeting the Cheung family, and experiencing firsthand what makes them standout as such an incredible bunch! David & Tanya, along with their two boys Timothy and Oliver, have such a wonderful warmth and openness the moment I met them. David’s father Tim (visiting them from Toronto, Canada) had many great family stories to tell and expressed such a special bond with his grandkids that was wonderfully evident during our photo shoot. Young Timothy could barely contain himself, as his adventurous spirit desired nothing more than to get in the lake and find every large rock he could. Recently new residents of Coeur d’Alene, you’ll meet very few families as kind & welcoming as the Cheung’s!

Spokane Wedding: Taylor & Jenna

Taylor and Jenna are two people I have enjoyed speaking with and spending time with from the first moment we met. They are kind, quick to smile, and genuine. I love their energy, their enthusiasm for life, and the kindness they show others. Being at their wedding, meeting their friends and family, was something I truly enjoyed, and I think the qualities they showed me come across so easily in their photos. I hope you love them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Spokane Wedding Photographer: Michael & Malinda

A little over a year ago I had the chance to photograph Michael and Malinda’s wedding. I remember it well, as it took place at the Roberts Mansion downtown Spokane, and while it wasn’t a large wedding, it was beautiful with some excellent people, both friends and family. I remember that Michael and I had similar interests (especially when it comes to books and movies) and so when Michael reached out to me a year later and asked me to take more photos of him and his beautiful bride Malinda I was pumped! I have really enjoyed spending time with these two, and getting to do so again was awesome. I hope you love these sunrise photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Coeur d'Alene Engagement: Brennan & Brooklon

If we want to get technical, Brooklon and Brennan met somewhere around third grade. They went to the same (small) school, and ulitmately had really just been around each other for a long time. But things don't always go the way you'd expect, and over time people start to notice each other in different ways.
