Coeur d'Alene Photographer: Randy & Payton's Beautiful Settlers Creek Wedding

Randy and Payton are two individuals I've enjoyed getting to know since the moment we first met in a coffee shop. They possess fascinating life stories, extraordinary personalities, wonderful friendships, and loving families. The beauty of their wedding lies in how these elements have seamlessly weaved together. Witnessing a couple bring together their closest friends and family to declare, "I choose you, and only you, for the rest of my life," is one of my favorite experiences—it is profoundly beautiful, and I absolutely adore it. Factor in the picturesque backdrop of the day: the stunning location at Settlers Creek, and we end up with a wedding that's breathtaking in countless ways. I'm brimming with excitement to share these moments with you. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Bryce and Krystal's The Ridge at Greenbluff Wedding

Bryce and Krystal had an absolutely beautiful wedding with so many awesome moments. Personally, one of the ones that hit me the most was when Krystal read some vows to Bryce’s son Caiden - her new stepson - after the first look. He’s about the same age as one of my boys, and you could see on his face how much that moment meant to him, but also Bryce and Krystal. You take moments like that, and combine the hilarious toasts, beautiful final dance and incredible sunset, and you have an absolutely incredible wedding. I’m absolutely excited to share these with you, and I hope you see the moments as they were. I certainly loved being there for them.

Spokane Photographers: Brandt & Shayna's Wedding at The Ridge at Greenbluff

Brandt and Shayna had an absolutely beautiful wedding day. From a completely unique getting ready time (where Brandt hung out with all the ladies as they got ready) to an insane sunset where it rained on us while it also bombarded us with some of the most incredible warm tones, Brandt and Shayna made all of these moments feel natural and easy. They are kind, soft spoken, and thoughtful - with some amazing family too. Put all this on top of the beautiful Ridge at Greenbluff, and we end up with an absolutely killer wedding. I’m excited to share it with you!

CDA Photographers: Joe & Nicoles Incredible Coeur d'Alene Resort Wedding

Joe and Nicole are two people I have absolutely loved getting to know. From their amazing fall engagement session where I got to hear their story, to their wedding, which had so many great people and great moments. I am so excited to be able to share this incredible wedding at the Coeur d’Alene Resort, and I hope you love these photos, these memories, as much as I loved living them.

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!
