Wedding Photographers: CJ & Caitlin Get Married!

CJ and Caitlin have magnetic personalities. It wouldn't take long for anyone to figure that out upon meeting them. They are kind, energetic, thoughtful, and ready to have a lot of fun. You could see this in the way they handled the 30mph winds, the ripped pants, the late groups, and all the things that were thrown at them on their wedding day. In the end, it was their wedding day, and they were ready to have a blast. From a non-existent sunset to a blazing “where did this come from?!” sky, I absolutely loved the whole day I spent with them. I struggled mightily trying to cut these wedding photos down to a short, digestible blog, and I am not sure I succeeded. So I hope you love them, I hope you see the emotion, the moments, and all the incredible fun we had - because it was a great day.

Spokane Photographers: Mike & Kendra's Beautiful Beacon Hill Wedding

Mike and Kendra are two amazing people. It isn’t even hard to think of an example for this, as their wedding day took place on my birthday. it isn’t unusual, for someone like myself, to work on his birthday (or anniversary). but what is unusual is how Mike and Kendra handled that. I got a birthday card, and even a gift - on THEIR wedding day! To further illustrate this someone would only need to look at the packages Kendra put together for her bridesmaids, complete with pictures, kind notes and very individualized presents. In a word, these two are thoughtful. But one word can never do it, they are thoughtful, yes, but also kind, joyful and genuine. It is so easy to spend time with them, and thus this made their wedding day float by. I absolutely loved it, I loved getting to know them, spending time with their friends and family, and all at the incredible backdrop of Beacon Hill in Spokane. I’m so excited to share these photos with you, and I hope you love them as much as I do!

Washington Wedding Photographers: Brennan & Brooklon's Wedding

Brennan and Brooklon had a wedding with so many incredible moments. From Brooklon’s mom starting to cry as she helped her daughter into her dress, to the couple painting each others hands (in black!), to the sunset that we didn’t think we’d have (sorry not sorry about the number of sunset photos in this blog…), this wedding was packed with so many awesome people, moments, and it’s so great to have been there for all of it. I hope you love these, and i’m so excited to share this with you!

Photographers in Spokane: Ted & Sara's Beautiful Davenport Wedding

From the beginning, Ted and Sara are two people I have genuinely enjoyed getting to know. From our snow covered hike for their engagement photos, to one of the most unique moments i’ve ever experienced at a wedding, Ted and Sara have been a joy. Something i’m sure is no new news to you. But for me, as I have gotten to know them, their family and friends, see their passions and likes, it has truly been something I have enjoyed. I will always think fondly on the sunset session we did, where the Lilac Parade was about to start downtown Spokane and we were walking down the middle of the road - An empty road surrounded by people cheering our Air Force pilot. So many good moments, laughs, smiles and people, and i’m so excited that I get to share a glimpse of those moments with. you.

Beautiful Backyard Wedding in Coeur d'Alene: Dylan & Sydney

I met Dylan and Sydney the day of their wedding. A day that was supposed to be sunny, turned into a very cloudy, very wet day. The amazing thing about these two though is that they never got down about the rain (which was coming down very hard) or even seemed to let it phase them. They had fun, talked with their friends and family, and once the rain let up, we went out again and started their ceremony. It was beautiful, simple, and a lot of fun. I’m excited to share these with you guys, and so thankful that I was able to be a part of it all.

Stunning Photos of Noah and Amanda's Wedding at Montevale Event Center in Spokane

If you read Noah and Amanda’s engagement blog, it shouldn’t’ be a secret that i’m a fan of these two. They are kind thoughtful, and clearly love each other. But there’s more than that, it’s their families and friends, it’s the people they choose to surround themselves with that makes these two so magnetic, so likable. So being able to be there at their incredible Spring wedding at the Montvale Event Center, downtown Spokane, was something I absolutely loved. From the little moments to the big ones. There was life, beauty, laughter, and so many great chances to take great photos. I hope you love them as much as I do!
