Sam and Megan had such an absolutely beautiful wedding. Taking place at a Boy Scout camp on Diamond Lake in Washington, it had some beautiful backgrounds, with lots of room, and some really natural vibes. Sydney with Piece of Harmony events killed it on the planning, bring together an absolutely huge space making each location awesome (glad we had a golf cart!). But the place just fit Sam and Megan. I loved meeting their friends and family, but above all I loved watching them laugh together. This was a beautiful wedding, and I hope you love these photos!

Eric & Magda's Backyard Wedding in Idaho

Eric and Magda hold a unique place for me because they had one of my favorite engagement shoots of the year. It wasn’t just beautiful with an amazing couple and perfect weather, rather, it also meant I had the chance to get to know these two a little bit more. They are both kind, thoughtful, and so in love with each other - not to mention super photogenic. I am excited that I get to share some of my favorite photos from their backyard wedding, where so many great things happened. I hope you love them as much as I loved taking them!

Dorian and Renee's Belle's on the Bluff Wedding

Dorian and Renee’s wedding was beautiful. While it was quite hot that day, it had so many great moments. From their “first touch” from around the door, to when Renee walked down the aisle, there were so many great emotional moments. I also really enjoyed Dorian’s face when he saw his ring for the first time (It was a surprise for him). Either way, this wedding was filled with great people, and at a beautiful location. Very excited to share these ones with you.

Aaron and Payton's Wedding at The Ridge at Greenbluff

You may not know this about me, but I have two boys. Isaiah and Judah. At this moment, they are in sixth grade and fourth grade. I bring this up, because Aaron and Payton met in fourth grade. Their story started so long ago that it’s bewildering to me as a father. Who would my sons know now, that in 10 years they may be marrying them? It’s a crazy thought. And if you want to hear more about their story, you should definitely check out their engagement photos. What you need to know for this blog, is that the relationship that started back in fourth grade, from the valentines cards (which they still have) to their school pictures, these two have been together. They’ve been through some crazy things, and all that came to a point on this one day - the day they both said “I want you and no other”. Such a beautiful wedding, with so many great moments, great laughter, and a genuinely awesome group of people. This wedding was a highlight for me this year, and I don’t think you’ll have to scroll too far to understand why - Aaron and Payton are awesome for a multitude of reasons, and I hope that is conveyed in these images. I certainly loved taking them.

Stefan & Alicia's Elk Point Wedding

Stefan and Alicia had such an incredibly memorable day. They cried, they laughed, and they had some beautiful, intimate moments - and I had the chance to be there for all of them. From their beautiful first look, to all the amazing people that gave a toast to these two - it was an absolutely special day. One thing seems to be clear from all the friends and family I met during this day - these two are so dearly loved. They have friends, lots of them, and they are so appreciated. It’s always such a great moment for me, just sitting in the back (or the front, in some cases) just listening to their stories, their laughter, and in this case, that happened a lot. I hope you love these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Boone and Asti's Spokane Club Wedding

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.
