There are many factors at play in great wedding venues when it comes to photography. Note, there are many factors beyond photography that I cannot speak to - such as the price of a venue, how easy they are to work with from a couples perspective, and how responsive they are. That said, being that I've been to well over 400 weddings, I do know what a great venue looks like - and the Coeur d’Alene Resort is one of them.
Read MoreI met Roger and Ashley for the first time when we went to get some photos. They are expecting their first child (which is amazing!) and it was a lot of fun talking to them about their growing family, but even how they met. They were so kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to - not to mention photograph! I’m so excited for them and their growing, soon to be family of three!
Read MoreThey met at a friends birthday party - yes, that means it was in real life! While the friend was mutual, they did not know each other. Shavonne, who had not really had a boyfriend at that point, nor did she know how to dance (although she says she knew, she just never had danced with someone else yet), was asked to dance by one of the cute guys at the party (aka, Tom). This wasn't a high school two-step situation. They were swing dancing! So Tom swung the "cute girl" around for most of the night, but at the end he left.
Read MoreThey technically met on Hinge first. The more "serious" version of Tinder. That said, they messaged each other twice or so, and that was it. A couple weeks later, however, they would match again, but on the Facebook Dating app. This is what did it - how weird to match twice?! So they would start to talk and quickly plan their first date.
Read MoreThey met in high school. While Eden and Dilon are roughly the same age, they were one grade apart. Having similar friends, Dillon and Eden first started talking on Snap Chat. Dillon was filled with confidence (being that it was his birthday) and so he immediately asked Eden out on a date (for two days later) and then followed it up with an unorthodox move - he added her as a friend in the Bible app as well.
Read MoreChristmas anywhere is beautiful, but Christmas at the Davenport is always something special. The lights, the trees, the beautiful ballrooms all hit a spot that says “tis the season”. If you take this vibe and add in two incredible people - Kevin and Annie - and their commitment to be with each other for the rest of their lives, you have an absolutely beautiful night. I had a blast, from meeting their friends and family, to watching Butch from WSU come strolling into the reception (a complete surprise) the whole evening was filled with great moments and excellent people. I hope you love looking at these memories as much as I loved capturing them.
