Sean and Amanda had thought of so many things, one of which was Amanda’s dress - something she had wanted since she was a child. The colors were all brought together to match the dress and the day, and everything seemed to come together in such a great way. Look no further than the fact we had an actual sunset on a mid-December day. I really appreciate the kindness of them and their friends, and I had such a great time being there and capturing each of the moments. Here are some of my favorites!

Josh and Nikki's Downtown Boise Wedding

I feel like I clicked with Josh and Nikki from the very beginning. Josh loves photography, and Nikki loves her dogs (well, they both love their dogs, but you know what I mean). Either way, both of those things I can relate to very easily, and I have had a great time getting to know both of them. So when they asked me if I would be willing to come down to Boise for a wedding, I was thrilled. I don’t head south that often, and I love to travel (look no further than my “personal” blogs here on the website). We ended up with one of the craziest early November days, from torrential downpours to sun to thunder at one of the craziest times during a ceremony I’ve ever witnessed. These two had an absolutely beautiful day, and I’m so excited to share some of my favorite moments with you here.

Austin and Kindal's Spokane Club Wedding

Austin and Kindal were a highlight wedding for me this year. I am lucky enough to have a couple of those, but this one was special. Not only was it in the fall but we had nice weather, but all the little things seemed to go so well. The Spokane Club was beautiful as always, the details were thoughtful, but above all, the people were amazing. From Kindal’s incredible smile to Austin’s genuine expressions, each moment was beautiful. Add on that being able to see upwards of four or five other couples who I had also photographed their wedding was huge for me. Seeing friends, and being able to be there to capture each of those moments and expressions. Austin and Kindal’s wedding was incredible, and I am so excited that I get to be the one who shares these photos with you first.

Bryce & Monica's Davenport Historic Wedding

Bryce and Monica had such an incredible wedding at the Davenport Historic Hotel in Spokane Washington. It was beautiful for so many reasons. It wasn’t just the beautiful ceremony at Our Lady of Lourdes Cathedral just five minutes away, nor was it the fact that we had the chance to do almost all their photos at the sunset hour, or even the absolute beautiful reception in the Isabella Ballroom. No, the thing that made the whole day so great was the people. Monica and her family were always so so kind, and Bryce’s family in a similar way. People were quick to smile, help, and came ready to have a good time. This wedding was absolutely beautiful from beginning to end, and being able to be there was absolutely awesome. Here are some of my favorites!

Joel and Alyssa's October Settlers Creek Wedding

Joel and Alyssa had an incredible wedding day in early October. One of my favorite times of year to be at the beautiful Settlers Creek. The grass is still tall, the shadows are long, and the weather can still be nice. In this case, we got everything: beautiful weather, a great sunset (something I didn’t expect), but more than anything, we had some awesome people. From the beginning of the day with Alyssa and the bridesmaids getting ready (shout out to Tricia with BlushbyT for the makeup) to the very end of the evening with the inflatable orcas, special glasses, and great dance party (thank you to Ryan from Epic Vibe for that), the whole day was beautiful and memorable. Joel and Alyssa are super easy to get along with, and I loved being there for every moment. Here are some of my favorites from their wedding!

Phil and Katie's Wedding in Sandpoint

I didn’t get a ton of time to get to know Phil and Katie, but from the time I did have with them, it was excellent. They and their friends were so kind, thoughtful, and easy to get along with. Phil and his brothers were quick to laugh, and help when needed (looking at you tie). And their wedding at Talus Rock in Sandpoint was beautiful, with quite possibly perfect weather, and a great group of people. Here are some highlights!
