I had the chance to first meet Boone and Asti at a wedding a couple of years ago (shout out to Andy and Margaux!) where Boone was a groomsman. They were an awesome couple to meet back then, but man, what a privilege it’s been getting to know them more since then. From sharing beers by the river, to their beautiful Davenport Engagement, and now their wedding. These two are just fun humans to be around. Really, look no further than their dancing photos. But man, it has been such an honor to photograph their wedding, to be there for the laughs, tears, and jokes. Here are some of my favorites from their beautiful day.

Joey and Crystal's Idaho Wedding

Joey and Crystal had one of my most memorable engagement shoots of the year, being able to not just meet them, but explore the absolute beautiful area around Lake Tahoe and Reno Nevada was an absolute blast. But beyond the trip, and the location, there was another thing very unique about the whole thing - that is we spent a lot of time together. I don’t normally ride in the same car for hours with couples, we don’t normally get six or seven hours to visit - but with them I did. And man, what a privilege. They are so kind, thoughtful, and have had so many life experiences. I loved getting to know them, but even more so getting to know their kids, and their friends at their wedding took things one step further. What a great couple, and one i’m super excited to be able to share these photos with you. I hope you love them!

Daniel and Ashley's Beacon Hill Wedding

To say I am excited to be able to share these photos with you would be an understatement. You see, Daniel isn’t just someone I had the privilege of photographing his wedding, he’s a friend of mine. He’s someone I have absolutely loved getting to know, loved working with, and loved talking to for over a decade now. He’s kind and thoughtful, and such a great man. So when I had the chance to meet Ashley I couldn’t help but wonder what she would be like. Man, they are such a great fit. She’s always ready to have fun, quick to laugh, and compliments Daniel so well. This wedding was an absolute blast for me to photograph, and it was so great seeing some old friends, and making some new ones. I hope you love these photos as much as I do!

Matt and Alexis' Bozarth Mansion and St. Al's Wedding

Matt and Alexis are two awesome people. This is confirmed to me every time I spend time with them. It started when we met for coffee, but it continued when we did their engagement photos, and then was reaffirmed at their wedding. They are just great people, who are quick to laugh, ready to listen, and just fun to be around. I had an absolute blast with these two, from the early morning to their beautiful ceremony in St. Al’s cathedral. I hope you love these wedding photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Chance & Lily's beautiful Settlers Creek Wedding

Chance and Lily had an incredible wedding at Settlers Creek in June of this year. It was absolutely beautiful, from an incredible sunset, to an incredible couple, group, family, and friends. I loved every minute of their wedding, and I am so excited to be able to share these photos with you. Let me know what you think of them! I know I love how they turned out.

Sean and Tyler's Settlers Creek Wedding

As I was going through and editing Sean and Tyler’s wedding I was reminded of several things. First, and most obvious, is just how awesome, kind, and thoughtful Sean and Tyler are. I absolutely loved spending the day with them and capturing all those emotions, moments, friends and family. These two are such an amazing couple, something that was reinforced to me when I photographed their engagement shoot last year. The second thing that really stuck out to me was - it’s no mystery as to why Settlers Creek is one of my favorite venues. The people there are so great, and the area is absolutely gorgeous. So all these things came together into one absolutely beautiful day - with so many unique things (such as a cocktail hour before the wedding, s’mores, and the chance to do a pre-sunset, sunset session). I hope you love these as much as I loved taking them.
