Wedding at the Chateau Rive: Alex & Kristal

There’s something about black suites, bow ties, beautiful bridesmaids and a downtown setting that I absolutely love. It feels classy and timeless, and so I was pretty pumped when I found out Alex and Kristal were going for that look. I love how their photos turned out, and I loved being able to capture the many moments that happened on their wedding day - from their excellent first look, to all the fun everyone was having on the dance floor. I hope you love these photos as much as I do!

Rustic River Wedding: Trevor & Jackie

I was there when Trevor and Jackie met. It’s actually pretty incredible to think about. I was there when they met, I was there when they were engaged, and now I had the chance to be there when these two incredible people got married. This wedding was a highlight for me, I knew it would be the second they asked me to shoot their wedding. Not only are they incredibly beautiful people, but they are so kind, thoughtful, and fun people to be around. On top of that, so many of their friends I consider friends, and the whole group they are a part of I consider absolutely wonderful people. So being able to capture their wedding, and now getting to share those photos with you, is something I’ve been looking forward to in so many ways. I hope. You love them as much as I do, and I refuse to apologize for the number of photos that are in this blog.

Spokane Wedding Photography: Chris & Lea

Chris and Lea have a certain magnetism about them. You see it in the way they dance, the way their friends smile and have a good time (look no further than the dance photos in this blog). You see it in the way Chris looked at Lea during the first look (dude… what an amazing first look). You even see it in how they handle adversity (ask Lea about how she got her dress, or how the month before the wedding went), but man these two roll with the punches and say “what’s next”. They were so fun to be with on their wedding day, so fun to capture, so fun to get to know. They are two people that love each other, and I’m so excited I was chosen to be able to be there to capture that love. It was such an honor. I hope you love these wedding photos, the views of Lewiston, and all those incredible moments that makes this Chris and Lea’s wedding.

CDA Wedding Photographer: Sport & Erika

Sport and Erika are two kind and gentle souls. You can see it in the way they speak to you and those around them, the way they look at you, and the small details they clearly care so much about. You can see it in how they treated their guests, and how they look at each other when they dance. It’s things like this that I absolutely love when shooting a wedding, genuine, full, real, kind emotion. These two love each other and it’s painted all over their faces. I hope you love this selection of photos from their beautiful wedding day at Settlers Creek. Incredible couple, incredible venue, incredible wedding.

Wedding Photography: Robert & Kate

Robert and Kate’s wedding was incredible. If you find yourself looking through these photos and think you see lightning and a rainbow at sunset, you’re not imagining things, that really happened. But it really just reflects on who they are as people. Both are warm, and kind, but ready to party and have a good time. I loved getting to know these two, watch them interact, and have just an awesome time, and I am so excited that I get to share these wedding photos with you.

Coeur d'Alene Wedding Photographer: Viktor & Rachel

Viktor and Rachel are two people I have enjoyed talking to since the day I met them. They were game when the place of meeting was closed and we ended up in Denny’s drinking hot chocolate. They seem like those type of people, ready to go for anything even when it isn’t ideal. That didn’t matter on their wedding day though, as things went so well. It was beautiful. Our weather was perfect, and the Barn on Wild Rose Prairie was as beautiful as ever (look no further than those sunset photos…) These two are kind and thoughtful, with some amazing families that I absolutely loved getting to know. I’m so excited to be the one who gets to share these photos with you, and I hope you love them!
