Kanaan and Jessica's Downtown Spokane Engagement

Kanaan and Jessica have a super unique story - very much so, in fact. They met in person. Yes, in real life! No app was involved, no swiping, just two friends named Will and Grace. Jessica and Kanaan were one friend away from meeting for a while, but initially things like both being in a relationship slowed it all down (naturally). But they would finally meet at a Denny's for brunch. No sparks flew. No numbers were exchanged. They met, they ate, and they left (Kanaan was still in a relationship at the time).

Branding - Allison La Rue

Getting to meet up with Allison this spring and get some awesome photos of her was awesome. Not only is she beautiful, but she is such a solid person. Being a 5th grade teacher, and a long distance runner (who’s done Boston! Which is a huge accomplishment) she’s someone I got along with very quickly. Loved being able to get some great photos of her and the bright smile that she has.

Daniel and Stacey's Downtown Spokane Engagement

Daniel was not, going to un-match her. And they would in fact go on another date, and another. Eventually they would decide that each of them was who they always wanted to be with. Now they are getting married! And I get to be the one to capture their wedding that I know will be so beautiful. I had so much fun with these two at their engagement, between the small jokes Daniel would make, to talking about real things, it was an absolute blast. Such a kind and thoughtful couple, and I'm excited to get to know them more.

Dan and Lisa's Downtown Spokane Rainy Engagement

They first met because of a roommate. Dan and Lisa were invited to join some friends in a escape room, and on the way to pick everyone up, Dan decided he needed to get a pumpkin (you know, for a house warming gift - because, why wouldn’t you?) Looking out from the window Lisa told me she saw Dan and her first thoughts were "oh man, he's actually really cute" but that was a problem, because she wasn't read - at all. So according to her, she went and hid in the kitchen.
