There is something extraordinarily special about Jared and Aubrey. While i’ve known Jared for a long time, Aubrey I have only had the chance to meet recently - but the feeling is the same. These two are amazing. They are kind, thoughtful, and clearly love the Lord. Watching them give their vows, defend each other on the alter, and run into their reception all speaks to the kind of people they are - willing to have fun, laugh, and enjoy life together. I couldn’t be happier for both of these incredible people, and I am SO excited to share these photos with you.

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.

Marc and Amber's Coeur d'Alene Resort Cruise Boat Wedding

Marc and Amber have an incredible story that spans decades. Being there on their wedding day was a real treat, getting to meet their family, kids, loved ones, and witness their special moments together. These two have such amazing smiles, kind words, and a perfect chemistry that shines through in every interaction. The wedding was a beautiful cruise boat affair that will definitely stand out as one of the best I’ve ever done. I can’t wait to share these photos with you, these incredible moments, and I’m so proud of how they look.

Hunter & Becca's Wedding at Belles on the Bluff

Hunter and Becca had a wedding that stood out to me in a year filled with incredible weddings. Not only are they fun and easy to get along with, but they are also engaging, kind, and have great family and friends. They picked a venue that I genuinely enjoyed shooting at, and their day featured so many unique little touches, from Becca’s shoes and Hunter’s cufflinks, to the llamas that graced the reception (yeah, llamas). So many things at this wedding were beautiful and thought out, and I’m so excited I get the chance to share these photos with you.

Dan and Kaylene's Spokane Lake Wedding

Dan and Kaylene had an amazing wedding. Set at a very beautiful venue (a venue which is still trying to decide if they want to be well known or not) with a great view of Lake Spokane, it seemed like everything went exactly the way you’d want it to. People were all there - on time - the light was beautiful and the couple even more so. I loved meeting each of their family members, from their kids, to their kids’ families, each person I met was kind and thoughtful. This wedding was a lot of fun because of these people, but even more so because Dan and Kaylene are just great people. Look no further than their many toasts, and all the stories that came with them. Here are some of my favorites from their wedding.

Eric & Magda's Backyard Wedding in Idaho

Eric and Magda hold a unique place for me because they had one of my favorite engagement shoots of the year. It wasn’t just beautiful with an amazing couple and perfect weather, rather, it also meant I had the chance to get to know these two a little bit more. They are both kind, thoughtful, and so in love with each other - not to mention super photogenic. I am excited that I get to share some of my favorite photos from their backyard wedding, where so many great things happened. I hope you love them as much as I loved taking them!
