Last week I had the chance to go photograph some pretty amazing people. Ryan and Cassidy Bones, along with their friends Jake and Ashley. They are starting a thing called The Marriage Upgrade - you should check them out on Instagram. I had so much fun talking with them, joking, getting photos of them living life together. While i’m super excited to see what they do with the photos, here are just a couple of my favorites.
Read MoreGarrett 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!
Read MoreCody 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.
Read MoreI still remember meeting Peter and Calli for the first time - it was in the winter during a blizzard. It had maybe snowed 12 inches so far, and it was working really hard on getting to that 13th inch as fast as possible. Being that Peter and Calli were from out of town, moving the day was not really something we could do, plus they really wanted snow. Well snow they got, and we had an incredible memorable engagement shoot.
Read MoreSam and Megan are two amazing people. From our time at first time meeting at No-Li Brewery in Spokane, to our time at Diamond Lake, i’ve always found these two fun and easy to talk to. This is illustrated more by the fact we never really got around to talking about their story and how they met (something I often ask at engagement photo shoots). That said, I am so excited to share their engagement photos with you, from their smiles, to the unique ideas we had at the end, this was a great shoot.
Read MoreThere is no doubt that Max and Sam are two amazing people. They are kind, thoughtful, and so deeply care for one another. I had the privilege of being the only person there for their personal vows, and it’s in times like this when no one (well, almost no one) is watching you get to see the depth of a relationship. These two just love each other, it’s that simple. Their day was absolutely beautiful, with Sam getting ready with a bunch of her girl friends, to their beautiful vow sharing and portrait session in the forest overlooking Fernan Lake, to their incredible ceremony, reception, and sunset photos up at beautiful Elk Point. I’m excited to share these with you, and I hope you love them!
