Winter Coeur d'Alene Resort Wedding - Lucas and Kellee

There is something that should stand out to you as you look through these photographs. I know it stood out to me as I edited them. These two love to smile. They love to laugh. From the bridal party photos with their friends, to the ceremony when they shared their vows, to the portraits of both of them, they are smiling, laughing, and clearly in love. This is even more notable as we were dealing with winds of up to 45 miles per hour, heavy rain, and temperatures in the 30’s. Lucas and Kellee were cold out there, yes they shine through anyway. It’s absolutely beautiful and their warmth shines through on such a cold and dramatic day (weather wise). I’m so excited to share these with you, and I hope you love them as much as I loved taking them. What a beautiful wedding at the Coeur d’Alene Resort.

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.

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!

Spokane Wedding Photographer: Jared & Kat’s Halloween Wedding at the Glover Mansion

Jared and Kat’s wedding will have a special place in my heart for years to come, I am sure. It was unique through and through, from the amazing costumes they both wore on their wedding day (Dr. Who and the Tardis), to the games they decided to play (from board games, card games, to trivia with their guests and even jeopardy), it was something I’ve never seen before (and maybe won’t see again). It’s not very often I can say Gandalf married them, and the bride was walked down the aisle by her father in a pandemic hazmat suit. Their wedding screamed personality and it fit so well. I had a blast with them, and I’m so excited to be able to share these photos with you from such a beautiful fall wedding at the Glover Mansion.

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Nick & Teresa’s Downtown Spokane WA Wedding

I only met Nick and Teresa a couple weeks before their wedding. Yeah, WEEKS. It was a jumble of things but in that time we had coffee, explored a mountain lake, got to know each other, and experienced one of the biggest days of their lives. In that time I got to know both of them, how they met, things they love, and genuinely enjoy them as company. So on the day of their wedding I wasn’t surprised when I found out they also have some pretty amazing friends and family. Kind, thoughtful, funny, and ready to have a good time.

Spokane Wedding Photographer: Si and Jasmine at the Chateau Rive

Before this wedding I hadn’t really ever talked with Si. That said, we had known of each other, been in the same circles, but I had never really gotten the chance to visit with him - to talk. Which is super unfortunate because this dude is solid. I have loved getting to know him, and as I’ve gotten to know him - I’ve also gotten to know his beautiful bride. These two are so incredibly kind toward each other, they treat each other with such thoughtfulness and I absolutely love spending time with them. Their wedding at the Chateau Rive downtown Spokane was absolutely beautiful, and filled with so many great people, tons of smiles, and an incredible time. I’m pumped I get to share with you these photos, these memories, and I hope you love them as much as I loved taking them.
