A little over a year ago Jack and Lauren got married at the Coeur d’Alene Resort. It was beautiful - one of my favorite weddings all year - from the smallest little details all the way to the bride, there was nothing that wasn’t awesome. I loved their wedding, it was fun, beautiful, and filled with amazing people. So when Lauren contacted me to see if I would be willing to photograph them again around their one year anniversary I was super excited. Their engagement photos were awesome, and i’ve always enjoyed just talking with them. It’s one of my favorite things, watching a couple go from unmarried, to married, to growing a life together. I’m looking forward to the next time I get to see these two - whether the lens is there or not.
Read MoreWhen Eric first saw Amber, she was eye catching. It could have had something to do with the bikini she was wearing, or the fact that she is stunning, but he didn't hesitate to walk up to her and introduce himself. You see, Eric was new to the area, and he was trying to meet new people, so this party (a mutual friend invited them both) was a great place for that. Amber said she noticed Eric right away, not just because he walked up and introduced himself, but also how he did it. He was calm, confident, and ready to talk.

But very, very rarely do I get the chance to capture a couple who’s story has had time to mature, who’s love has aged like a fine wine. This particular shoot was amazing for me.
Read MoreWhen Taylor first met Tabitha, he had come over to a house to help paint (if I remember right). Tabitha didn't know he was coming or have any idea who he was, but she did remember his red mustang he pulled up in. The next thing that stuck out in her mind? The cute boy driving it. She would answer the door, and they would talk for the rest of the day - except not. In fact, after she answered the door, that was about the last time they talked that day.
Read MoreThey met as so many couple do these days - online. Steve was the first one to send a message, he told me that Taunya's profile (a very long, well written, direct profile) was one that he really liked, but it was the picture of Taunya with one of her best friends kids that really got him. He loves kids, and was looking for someone that also loved them.
Read MoreThey both met on their first day at the Mayo Clinic. They were the oldest of the new group at the clinic, and immediately got along. Casey told me that Christina caught his eye from day one, and his interest was piqued. Luck would have it (for him, kind of) that both his AND Christina's new name tags were messed up, so they had* to walk together to go get them fixed. This was their first conversation. Small talk would ensue, but being that they were both older than the others, and both with the same level of education, they had a lot in common. Casey's biggest problem? Christina had a boyfriend.
