Several months ago I got a phone call. I thought it was one of those Robo Calls that we all love so much. The number was from someone in Atlanta, but I try to answer my phone as much as I can, so I took it. Turns out, it was a real human on the other end, and his name was Brian. He told me he was looking to propose to his girlfriend when he was out in Coeur d’Alene, and wanted to know if I knew of any good places.
Read MoreThey met in high school. In fact, they both liked each other in high school. Now, stories that start like this often go the route of "they met and dated in high school, they were on and off a little in college, but finally they realized that they were the one, and they got together for good". Well, in Rob and Christina's case, this isn't true. In fact, the only move either of them made in high school was Christina's random kiss just after guitar practice.
Read MoreThey met on Tinder. Kevin was the first person Lauren had ever met with, and she had only downloaded the app the day before. To say she was nervous when they met at the bar for some drinks is probably an understatement, but it doesn’t take a genius to know it went decently well. I would say it wasn't "the most amazing thing ever" because Lauren said their first two dates were "a little awkward."
Read MoreThey met in a parking lot. Yes, romantic hu? Not only was it in a parking lot, but it was also on a work trip, AND neither of them were available at the time. So yeah, I can't say sparks flew on first sight. In fact, the reason they met was because one of Andy's friends had left the keys in the car, and him, nor his friends could reach the keys through the cracked window. Enter the beautiful young woman Malissa, who's arm could reach through the cracked window and grab the keys.
Read MorePatrick and Jenny aren't local. In fact, they don't even live near Coeur d'Alene, so when this Phoenix Arizona couple asked me to take their engagement photos while visiting our beautiful location I was pumped. I love getting to know new people, and learning more about them. Like how one of Patrick's first thoughts when seeing Jenny for the first time was "woah, she's cute". Jenny, for her part, thought something similar.
Read MoreVincent and Danielle are two people who have magnetic smiles. It really doesn’t take too long to look at some of these photos to understand what i’m talking about, they just seem to enjoy life, enjoy their family (aka, their dog) and enjoy each other. While our time together was partly all based around dodging tons of mosquito’s (at least, until their friend brought some bug spray), the majority of it was enjoying the incredible area we’ve been blessed to live in. The lake, the mountains, and the fields are something that are incredible, and really not that readily available in other areas of the world. I’m thrilled too hare the photos of this amazing couple, and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding this coming September.
