Davenport Centennial New Years Eve Wedding: Robbie & Cassie

I’ve had the chance to go on multiple adventures with these two. From a (very) cold engagement session, to a smoky early morning hike to the top of a mountain, to a late,, black tie evening at the Centennial hotel for a New Years eve party and reception, it’s all been a blast. These two have always been kind, ready for anything, and I have absolutely loved capturing each moment with them. I hope you also take the time to check out their Colchuck Lake elopement photos that went up on the blog a couple months ago. That said, here are some of my favorite photos from Robbie and Cassie’s New Years Eve Wedding!

North Idaho Winter Elopement Wedding: Richard & Leslie

When I met Richard and Leslie for the first time it was so obvious how they felt about each other. Such energy, excitement, and love for each other. We shared some coffee, and talked about what they wanted. Leslie really wanted snow - something I obviously can’t promise. So when we got about 8 inches of snow the day before her elopement wedding I was pumped for her. And then, when we got the sunny weather to go with that snow (but the colder temps to keep that snow light and fluffy) it was even more amazing. These two had the day they had always wanted, and I’m so excited to say I was able to be there and capture their beautiful wedding on a ridge overlooking Hayden Lake, ID. Huge congratulations to them and I hope you love their photos!

Spokane Wedding Photographer: Jared & Kat’s Halloween Wedding at the Glover Mansion

Jared and Kat’s wedding will have a special place in my heart for years to come, I am sure. It was unique through and through, from the amazing costumes they both wore on their wedding day (Dr. Who and the Tardis), to the games they decided to play (from board games, card games, to trivia with their guests and even jeopardy), it was something I’ve never seen before (and maybe won’t see again). It’s not very often I can say Gandalf married them, and the bride was walked down the aisle by her father in a pandemic hazmat suit. Their wedding screamed personality and it fit so well. I had a blast with them, and I’m so excited to be able to share these photos with you from such a beautiful fall wedding at the Glover Mansion.

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Nick & Teresa’s Downtown Spokane WA Wedding

I only met Nick and Teresa a couple weeks before their wedding. Yeah, WEEKS. It was a jumble of things but in that time we had coffee, explored a mountain lake, got to know each other, and experienced one of the biggest days of their lives. In that time I got to know both of them, how they met, things they love, and genuinely enjoy them as company. So on the day of their wedding I wasn’t surprised when I found out they also have some pretty amazing friends and family. Kind, thoughtful, funny, and ready to have a good time.

Sandpoint Wedding Photographer: Adam & Courtney’s Lord of The Rings Themed Wedding at Talus Rock

When I first met with Courtney at a local coffee shop I immediately liked her. She was kind, easy to talk to, and we shared some similar things that we both loved (such as fantasy books). While I don’t have my Lord of the Rings lore down as well as her (I’m personally a huge fan of The Wheel of Time) it was something we both loved. Then I met Adam, and he was also easy to get along with, and hearing their story during their engagement shoot was awesome and engaging. So I was very excited for their wedding, with the Lord of the Rings themed tables, dress, and even bouquets. I love how they went all in on the dress, decor, and Talus Rock really complimented the whole thing. Top it all off with the incredible fall colors we got and man, what an incredible wedding. I’m so excited to share these with you, and I hope you love them!

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Chris & Michelle’s Historic Davenport Wedding

Chris and Michelle are two amazing people. I’ve liked them every since we met, and that was reinforced when we did their engagement shoot on a freezing cold day last spring. They love each other, they have magnetic laughs and some great friends. This was shown over and over again to me during their beautiful wedding at the Historic Davenport. I am so excited to be able to share these with you, these moments, these people, these photos. It was a beautiful day, one to remember for a lifetime.
