As I was going through and editing Sean and Tyler’s wedding I was reminded of several things. First, and most obvious, is just how awesome, kind, and thoughtful Sean and Tyler are. I absolutely loved spending the day with them and capturing all those emotions, moments, friends and family. These two are such an amazing couple, something that was reinforced to me when I photographed their engagement shoot last year. The second thing that really stuck out to me was - it’s no mystery as to why Settlers Creek is one of my favorite venues. The people there are so great, and the area is absolutely gorgeous. So all these things came together into one absolutely beautiful day - with so many unique things (such as a cocktail hour before the wedding, s’mores, and the chance to do a pre-sunset, sunset session). I hope you love these as much as I loved taking them.

Wedding Photographers: Jesse & Nicole's Elk Point Wedding

Jesse and Nicole are two people i’ve loved talking to - and have some things in common with. I love the story of how they met (check out their engagement blog for that!) and it’s so awesome seeing some people who have taken something that happened a long time ago and make that into something that will continue happening forever. I loved meeting their friends, and spending this incredible day with them. Here are some of my favorite wedding photos from the day.

Spokane Photographers: Brandt & Shayna's Wedding at The Ridge at Greenbluff

Brandt and Shayna had an absolutely beautiful wedding day. From a completely unique getting ready time (where Brandt hung out with all the ladies as they got ready) to an insane sunset where it rained on us while it also bombarded us with some of the most incredible warm tones, Brandt and Shayna made all of these moments feel natural and easy. They are kind, soft spoken, and thoughtful - with some amazing family too. Put all this on top of the beautiful Ridge at Greenbluff, and we end up with an absolutely killer wedding. I’m excited to share it with you!

CDA Photographers: Joe & Nicoles Incredible Coeur d'Alene Resort Wedding

Joe and Nicole are two people I have absolutely loved getting to know. From their amazing fall engagement session where I got to hear their story, to their wedding, which had so many great people and great moments. I am so excited to be able to share this incredible wedding at the Coeur d’Alene Resort, and I hope you love these photos, these memories, as much as I loved living them.

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!
