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.

CDA Resort Wedding: Zach and Chelsea

Zach and Chelsea are two people with magnetic personalities. They are fun to be around, their friends are fun to be around, and things seem to just flow with them. So when on their wedding day the wind blew and the sun came and went I wasn’t a big deal. I think it’s obvious in the photos at just how much fun these two had on their wedding day, and I can say I also had a blast. I love their story, their friends, and the family I met. And you add on top of that the incredible location at the CDA Resort and the incredible backdrop of Coeur d’Alene Lake, I am absolutely pumped with the photos I have the chance to share with you. I hope you love them!

CDA Resort Cruise Boat Wedding: Ron & Noon

Ron and Noon had such a beautiful wedding out on Lake Coeur d’Alene. I absolutely loved the short time I had with them, which was filled with emotional moments, from the first look to the beautiful ceremony, to the toasts at the end. These two are so genuine and kind, and it made their wedding flow so well. I’m excited that I can be the one to share these photos with you. Their wedding was truly beautiful.

Wedding at the Coeur d'Alene Resort: Michael & Preston

Michael and Preston had such an incredible, snowy, winter wedding. It wasn’t just amazing because of their kind and loving families, or because the sun was out (but it was still cold enough to keep the snow nice and fluffy), or because we actually had snow - but because the couple made the night. I don’t think i’ve ever had a bride tough the cold so well, and for so long. Preston wanted winter wedding photos, and she got them! She only had to hide under her (very beautiful) fur coat at the very end of our portraits. But here’s the thing, I don’t remember this wedding just because of it’s great portraits, I remember it for the friends they had, the laughter they brought, and of course the great dancing. I am so excited that I get to share this incredible wedding, and I hope you love the photos, the moments, that I feature here.
