Coeur d'Alene Engagement Photographer: Max & Brittany

In short they met because they went to Police Academy together. Both Max and Brittany are State Police Troopers. But really the story is so much more than that. A month or so before they were to begin their training, their instructor added all the people that would be in the class to one big private facebook group. Really, it's through this that Max and Brittany would first interact and start talking. One thing led to another and Max would drive up to the Coeur d'Alene area to meet Brittany and get to know her better.

Coeur d'Alene Engagement Photos: Zach & Chelsea

It all started with a business card. But seriously. Zach saw this incredible woman across the room at a work recruiting event. I asked him his motivation for walking up to her, and he said it simply “she was hot.” Chelsea, for her part, said that he was the “hottest guy she’d ever seen” but thought she had no chance because he was “way out of her league.” Zach didn’t even think she was looking for the type of job he needed, but he figured he’d try anyway.

Spokane Photographer: Corey & Megan's Engagement Photos!

The first time they met was online. It wasn't in a dating app, or an app like Tinder, and it wasn't simply because the other thought the other one was cute. In this case, Megan was going to prom with Corey's best friend, so he followed her on Instagram (and she reciprocated). Their friendship wouldn't really be that (a friendship) for a while, they wouldn’t' talk. However after Megan got out of her relationship something sparked their interest and they started talking again on Social.

Engagement Photographers in Idaho: Vlad & Caitlyn

Vlad and Caitlyn have such a cool story. They met because Vlad started working at a horse riding school for special needs students (at least, if I remember right, that's what it was). Either way, horses were involved, and teaching. Well, one of those teachers was Caitlyn.

Spokane Photographers: Chris & Lea's Engagement Photos

Chris and Lea are two people I highly enjoyed. Quick to laugh and smile, game for almost anything, and so easy to have fun with. This was made apparent to me over and over again during their engagement photos, and one of those ways was just listening to how they met. Like so many couples these days, they both swiped right. For those of you that don't know what that means, it means they met on Tinder. In reality, Lea didn't actually* swipe right, her sister did that for her.

Spokane Engagement Photos: Jared & Kat's Manito Engagement

Jared and Kat have such a cool story. They met at a Halloween party their mutual friend was throwing. The thing is, they both didn't really PLAN to be there. Jared found himself deciding to randomly go to the party at around 11:30 at night after his day had completely finished. Kat on the other hand, found herself at the party after visiting a cemetery and talking to the high grounds keeper (Dave) who was "incredibly nice". She said that her friends invited her over, and she figured "why not?"
