Mack and Mayra’s Arbor Crest wedding was absolutely beautiful for so so many reasons. Not only is it so easy to get along with Mack and Mayra, but it was with their friends and family as well. Navigating nine bridesmaids and six groomsman, and all the family can often be a lot of work, but this group made it fun and easy. In addition to that, they were all so down to dance it made the wedding just go by quickly. Throw in on top that Mack and Mayra are just absolutely beautiful people, then it makes my job an easy one. Huge thanks to the incredible vendor team that made it all happen, thinking especially of Sydney with Piece of Harmony Events. Excited to share with you all these incredible moments and people.

Wedding at the Ridge at Greenbluff with Trevor and Whitney

Trevor and Whitney’s wedding had it all. Amazing people, great dancing, touching moments, beautiful moments, and even an Icing. Being part of a wedding like this is always so fun for me, and stands out in a huge way. I love watching people be happy, watching people party, and more than any of that, watching people say “I want you and no one else, for the rest of my life.” I am truly so happy to be able to share these memories, moments, people with you here. Sorry i’m not sorry there are so many!

Carson and Ali's Wedding at The Farmhouse on Greenbluff

Carson and Ali are two amazing people. You don’t have to talk with them for very long to see that they are kind and thoughtful people who are so so genuine. My time with them - at their engagement and wedding - has been a highlight for me over the years. And like many people, who they are is reflected in their friends and family as well, who were amazing on this day. Taking place at the beautiful The Farmhouse on Greenbluff, we had some great weather (it was sunny!) and bad weather (it was VERY windy!) and provided some interesting challenges. That said, I love how it all turned out, and i’m so excited to share these highlights with you.

Wedding Photography Guide - What to Look for - All Day Coverage

One of the most common things in wedding photography coverage is an hourly limit. This is pretty common and a really big focus for most photographers. And I see why! It really allows the photographer to control how much work they have on the backend. It also means less work, it’s easier on the body, and it’s much less exhausting. That said, hourly wedding coverage has some serious drawbacks, not just in the types of moments you miss, but also in the way you feel and approach your day. In this blog, I want to go over the benefits of true all-day coverage and give a couple of examples of real weddings, and what would have changed had I not been there for all day.

Jacob and Chelsea's Winter Wedding in Spokane

So technically this wasn’t Jacob and Chelsea’s wedding - they were already married - but not technically this was their wedding. This was the time they had all their friends and family show up for a big celebration of the fact they are going to be together for the rest of their lives. These two are so kind, easy to talk to, and man do I love their smiles - big, genuine, extraordinary smiles. I hope you love some of my highlights from their wedding day.

Daniel and Stacey's Glover Mansion Wedding

Daniel and Stacey are two people that I have loved getting to know. They are super smart, witty, and have such great senses of humor. I had such a great time getting to know them at their engagement session, but being able to get more context on who they are by being at their wedding, meeting their friends and family and watching them laugh and have a great time, on one of the biggest days of their lives? Amazing. The Glover Mansion was such a great setting for this Mid-January wedding, and while it was cold outside, it was warm and welcoming in the house. I love how these turned out, and I hope you do too! Big thanks to Driftwood Point Events for helping get everything going this day, always love seeing them at weddings.
