Spokane Wedding Photographer: Derek and Stephanie's Belle Garden's Wedding

I think if I was trying to be technical about it, i’ve known Stephanie for basically her whole life - or, more accurately, i’ve known of her. You see, when I was in high school my friends Tony and Chris were in my class (Tony) or my brothers class (Chris). We played basketball together, ate lunch together, and were friends. I remember when their little sister was born, and was brought to those basketball games. So some 23 years later, when that little girl sent me an email to tell me she was getting married I was surprised and excited!

Wedding Photographers: CJ & Caitlin Get Married!

CJ and Caitlin have magnetic personalities. It wouldn't take long for anyone to figure that out upon meeting them. They are kind, energetic, thoughtful, and ready to have a lot of fun. You could see this in the way they handled the 30mph winds, the ripped pants, the late groups, and all the things that were thrown at them on their wedding day. In the end, it was their wedding day, and they were ready to have a blast. From a non-existent sunset to a blazing “where did this come from?!” sky, I absolutely loved the whole day I spent with them. I struggled mightily trying to cut these wedding photos down to a short, digestible blog, and I am not sure I succeeded. So I hope you love them, I hope you see the emotion, the moments, and all the incredible fun we had - because it was a great day.

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Alex & Rebecca's Spokane Club Wedding

Alex and Rebecca are two genuine, kind people. After spending some time with them at their engagement and hearing their story, and then listening to their vows, being there on their wedding day, watching Alex see Rebecca for the first time, it’s hard for me to not appreciate them even more. Their wedding was beautiful, filled with amazing people, great moments, funny moments, and a couple who clearly love each other. I think this is even more evident when you check out their Photo Story (embedded below) which includes the audio from he first look, their vows, and some of the toasts. I love how it brings things to life, and you dont’ just see their smiles - you hear it. I hope you love it as much as I loved making it.

Davenport Centennial New Years Eve Wedding: Robbie & Cassie

I’ve had the chance to go on multiple adventures with these two. From a (very) cold engagement session, to a smoky early morning hike to the top of a mountain, to a late,, black tie evening at the Centennial hotel for a New Years eve party and reception, it’s all been a blast. These two have always been kind, ready for anything, and I have absolutely loved capturing each moment with them. I hope you also take the time to check out their Colchuck Lake elopement photos that went up on the blog a couple months ago. That said, here are some of my favorite photos from Robbie and Cassie’s New Years Eve Wedding!

Downtown Spokane Wedding: Ray & Erin

Ray and Erin’s downtown Spokane wedding in mid November was absolutely beautiful. We had the privilege of being in the excellent McGinnity Room, with their beautiful urban settings, warm lights and beautiful windows, it had a great classic feel. Ray and Erin are two people I didn’t have the chance of photographing engagement photos before hand, so their wedding day was when I had the chance to meet them in person for the first time. What a privilege that was! Both of them are so kind, and I really enjoyed getting to know their friends and family. That is something that can easily be said about these two, they have a lot of friends, and it made their day full with laughter and great moments. I hope you love these photos, I sure enjoyed taking them.

By The Lake Venue Wedding: Bede & Angie

Bede and Angie had a huge focus for their wedding - the people. They wanted to spend a lot of time with their friends and family, whether that was dancing on the dance floor or sitting by the fire, it was about sharing their biggest day with their best friends. The location - By The Lake Venue - was great for this, where their friends and family could all arrive by boat to their wedding, and spend time just hanging out. I really enjoyed these two, getting to know them, their family, their friends, and i’m so excited that I get the chance to share these photos, these moments, these memories with you all for the first time.
