Mark and Anna are kind people, and watching them bring their two families together was a blessing. They are both thoughtful, and wanted to include their kids in all the aspects of their wedding. This included things like keeping them at the head table next to them as they ate, and having them be a part of their first look and ceremony. It was beautiful, and I absolutely loved seeing it. While the weather this day was cool overcast, it made for some beautiful colors and light, and Beacon Hill shined as it always does. I’m excited to be able to share these select photos with you, as they are some of my favorites that tell the story of their day - from beginning to end.

Wedding in Greenbluff with Garrett & Alyssa at The Ridge at Greenbluff

Garrett and Alyssa’s wedding was a wedding I was looking forward to since I found out I was going to be there. They are special in so many ways, but for me, they are unique in that i’ve seen them at other weddings and they’ve been in more weddings i’ve done than almost any other couple. I think we counted and their wedding would be the fifth or sixth wedding we were a part of together. We’ve had smokey weddings on the lake, beautiful weddings on the farm, and for their wedding, and incredible fall day up in Greenbluff. This wedding was filled with people I love, from over four previous brides and a bridal party that was down for anything. This was a wedding I had a lot of fun at from the minute people showed up (or even before, as the people at the Ridge are of the highest quality). So being able to share these photos with you is a huge privilege for me, and i’m so excited to do it! I hope you love them!

Cody & Melissa's Spokane Wedding

Cody and Melissa are two very kind people. It doesn’t take long to realize this, whether you’re going into Melissa’s shop (she owns Hands to Art in Coeur d’Alene) or whether you need help working on a car (Cody loves cars), these two are thoughtful and kind. I saw this a lot at their wedding, when things would go wrong, or late, it was awesome to have a bride and groom that were willing to just go for it. They could see the point - to get married - and everything else was just window dressing. Their wedding at the Chateau Rive was beautiful, and i’m so excited that I get to be the one to share these memories, these moments with you.

Spokane Wedding Photography Review: Andy & Margeaux

From photographing Andy & Margeaux’s engagement photos to their wedding photos last year… I have loved getting to know them and seeing the love they have for each other. So, when I saw that Margeaux left a super kind review, I knew I had to share it! I hope you enjoy looking back at such a special moment in their lives as much as I do. :)

Wedding Photography Review: Jake & Taylor

A couple summers ago I got to photograph Jake & Taylor’s wedding! Their wedding was amazing! I really enjoyed getting to know Jake & Taylor and being able to capture their important day! So, when I saw a couple months ago Taylor was kind enough to write me this review… I couldn’t help but share it with you! :)

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Corey & Megan

There is one thing Megan really wanted on her winter wedding day - snow. Well it doesn’t take too long to look around at these photos to realize that didn’t happen, until it did. It was a pretty great surprise when about 40 minutes into dancing we were blessed with a fresh coating of snow outside where we could capture some pretty magical photos. That isn’t to say the rest of the day wasn’t also beautiful, with Megan’s magnetic personality and the kindness of her friends, we had an awesome time (even though that time was also very cold). Their beautiful wedding at the Chateau Rive downtown Spokane was a great one, and I’m excited I get to share these photos with you from their beautiful day.
