Top 5 Wedding Venues in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene

My name is Brent Looyenga and I'm a Spokane wedding photographer. I've been photographing weddings for almost 15 years now. In the course of time, I've found some incredible wedding venues, and also some horrible ones. Some private property locations have been pretty awesome when done right, and others have left me, a Spokane wedding photographer, also the planner of the whole day. There are so many things that will contribute to a venue being one of my top 5 wedding venues in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, but we should talk about a few.

Spokane Photographers: Mike & Kendra's Beautiful Beacon Hill Wedding

Mike and Kendra are two amazing people. It isn’t even hard to think of an example for this, as their wedding day took place on my birthday. it isn’t unusual, for someone like myself, to work on his birthday (or anniversary). but what is unusual is how Mike and Kendra handled that. I got a birthday card, and even a gift - on THEIR wedding day! To further illustrate this someone would only need to look at the packages Kendra put together for her bridesmaids, complete with pictures, kind notes and very individualized presents. In a word, these two are thoughtful. But one word can never do it, they are thoughtful, yes, but also kind, joyful and genuine. It is so easy to spend time with them, and thus this made their wedding day float by. I absolutely loved it, I loved getting to know them, spending time with their friends and family, and all at the incredible backdrop of Beacon Hill in Spokane. I’m so excited to share these photos with you, and I hope you love them as much as I do!

Wedding Photographer: Gabe & Kathryn's Beacon Hill Wedding

Gabe and Kathryn had an incredible day. From their beautiful ceremony downtown Spokane at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes to their incredible reception at the beautiful Beacon Hill. Their wedding party was kind and willing to have an amazing time, but also so helpful and kind - the best kind of wedding party. Gabe and Kathryn are two beautiful people inside and out and spending the day with them was a blast. I had such an incredibly hard time getting these photos down to a reasonable number for the blog, and I don't know if I even did a good job. So you’ll have to deal with it! Either way, i’m pumped to share this Beacon Hill wedding with you, and I hope you enjoy ever moment as I did.
