Spokane Engagement Photography: Alex & Rebecca

They met on Tinder - as so many people do these days. They started talking via chat, but one of the things that really struck Rebecca was that Alex was asking real questions - and responding in a deeper, less surface level way. This already set him apart from the others she had tried to talk to on the app. This was two years ago though, so they were in the middle of the lockdown for COVID, and so instead of doing an official date to start, they decided to do a Zoom date. This helped with Rebecca's anxiety around meeting someone online, but also meant they didn't have to drive the hour and a half between each others homes.

North Idaho Engagement: Skyler & Kristin

They met on Tinder. I asked Skyler why he swiped right on Kristin's profile and he looked and me and said "To be honest, I swiped right on EVERYONE's profile" - and his logic was very reasonable - why bother looking if you don't match anyway? He figured, see who he matches with, THEN look to see if there was anyone there he was interested in. Kristin was much more thoughtful, and she really liked how Skyler had a great photo of him featured and not one of him with a bunch of friends.

Coeur d'Alene Engagement Photography: Randy & Payton

They met at Nashville North. It was one of those moments where Payton and her girlfriends had arrived early to get one of the best spots (right by the dance floor) and Randy and his friends showed up late. In this instance, him and his friends noticed that one of the best tables had some girl jackets on it, so they decided to "not notice' and happen to sit there as well. So when they ladies came over after the song there were some guys at their table.

Spokane Engagement: Asif & Ashley

If we really want to get technical, Joe and Nicole have known each other for a long time. They went to the same middle school and high school - but they really didn't know each other. It was more of a "I know that person exists" kind of thing.

Spokane Photographers: Nick & Teresa’s Fall Engagement

Nick and Teresa are two people I met only days before their engagement, and only weeks before their wedding. They are both friendly and kind, beautiful and thoughtful. They fit so well together. Each interaction I’ve had with them, from coffee to a nighttime stroll through Spokane has been one I’ve loved, and getting to know these two amazing people has been a privilege of mine. I’m so excited I have the chance to share their engagement photos with you, and I hope you love them as much as I do!
