Skyler and Sarah's Ballard Meadow's Wedding

Years ago I had the chance to photograph Sarah’s sisters wedding. Back then, Sarah was young, still in high school if I remember correctly, so it was such a huge compliment when they reached out to me this year to photograph Sarah’s wedding as well! While we had a windy, rainy day, it was still absolutely beautiful with some incredible people. Love sharing these ones with you from the this beautiful Ballard Meadows wedding.

Wagstaff Family Photos Downtown Spokane

It was several years ago now that I had the chance to meet the Wagstaff family. At that wedding, they were kind, beautiful and such a beautiful family. Several years later I had the chance to do their family photos, and every year since then. What has struck me over the years is just how kind, thoughtful and amazing this family really is. Not just in their interactions with me, but in how their kids interact with me, with each other, and their parents. There is a true joy here, and I love being able to capture it. Here are some of my favorites from this years family photos with the Wagstaffs.

Seniors - John

I met John a couple years ago when I did his oldest sisters senior photos, then again a couple years later when I had the chance to photograph his other sister. So when I was contacted to do his photos, it was a huge compliment (as it always is when someone has seen your work, met you, and wants more). John wanted to show off his two trucks (which we clearly did) as well as capture some photos on the water, because that’s what he loves. I really enjoyed being there, and am pumped to share these with you guys.

Wedding at Settlers Creek with Tyler & Kelsie

It is crazy how life can work sometimes. Each one of us is going through life, trying to live it the best way possible, honor God, love those around us, our family and friends. And sometimes you make a connection. In this case, the connection was with my oldest son’s Kindergarten teacher (who was excellent) and it was her who introduced me to Tyler and Kelsie. And what a blessing that was! Because these two have been so great, from their engagement shoot last year to their wedding this year they have been fantastic. And you can see that permeated through their family and friends. Such a great bridal party (which I think shows in the energy and smiles in the bridal party photos) and at such an incredible location (Settlers Creek). I hope you love looking through these photos as much as I loved taking them.

In the Clouds Schweitzer Wedding with Matt and Brooke

Matt and Brooke’s Schweitzer wedding is one I will remember for a long time. I’ll remember driving up the mountain in the morning, looking at the wind and rain and wondering how things were going to go. I’ll remember how they moved their ceremony down to the village so people didn’t get stuck at the top of the mountain. I’ll remember doing photos at the top in the clouds, with the sun popping out between gusts of rain and fog. I’ll remember the dark, moody clouds forming behind them as they were drenched in sun and in that very moment kissing for the first time. I’ll remember Brooke’s smile as they danced. It was a beautiful wedding, with some amazing people, in an incredible location. Here are some of the highlights.

Michael and Heather's Backyard Wedding

Michael and Heather had a beautiful backyard wedding planned in under four weeks. It was beautiful, overlooking the Spokane River, and had some really great moments. I loved meeting both of them, but also their children, and watching them interact. From the morning all the way to the dances at the end of the evening, they were so great to have there. Here are some of my favorites from the day!
