Spokane Senior Photographers: Brett's Senior Photos

There isn’t much to say here except Brett and I had a great time as we wondered through some beautiful scenery, taking some awesome photos. We talked of video games and Star Wars (of course) and ultimately I had a great time. We love a lot of the same things in different ways, Brett loves sports (Hocky), I love it (basketball). He loves video games and Star Wars, and he loves playing music. I may not be a music guy, but I do love taking pictures. Anyway, i’m pumped to be able to share these, and I hope you love his senior photos.

Coeur d'Alene Photographers: Aimee & Tina's Engagement

Photographing engagements is always fun because I get the chance to get to know a couple, get to know who they are, and what makes them “them”. Aimee and Tina met at Starbucks when Tina had moved out to Seattle to pursue job opportunities. Tina went right up to Aimee and said "let's be friends" - so they were. Over the course of months they became good friends, hanging out, drinking beer, talking and doing things friends do. Aimee told me that it was about 6 months in that she began to realize she was attracted to Tina. I asked her if she pursued her, or not, and she looked at me like "well, I did, but I didn't" if that makes any sense. I think what should be understood here is that Aimee was interested, but she wasn't going to try and force anything.

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Kekoa and Rachel's Spring Wedding

There is something about photographing weddings that is just so fun. Seeing people in love, but also seeing them with their friends and families is so meaningful. Kekoa and Rachel’s wedding just outside of Spokane at On Rivers Edge was beautiful and filled some great moments.

Coeur d'Alene Engagement Photographer: Adam & Ashley's Sunset Mountaintop Engagement

They met in first grade. Now, I think it would be easy to build out a story around this fact, perhaps saying they were best friends all through school, talked all the time and eventually, sometime in high school these two amazing people decided they wanted to be together, and then, in college, decided they wanted to be together forever.

Coeur d'Alene Wedding Photographers: Gabe & Bethany's Spring Settlers Creek Wedding

Gabe and Bethany are two amazing people. I’ve known Gabe for several years as I had the privilege of photographing his sisters wedding, and then his younger brothers wedding. Similarly, i’ve loved working with him over the years at other various events and weddings as he has been a key factor in how great Settlers Creek is. To be frank, there’s nothing not to like about Gabe - he’s kind, well spoken and caring. Bethany, whom I haven’t know for as long, is an amazing match. She has always been so considerate and hard working, and her smile is genuine and thoughtful. I have enjoyed every conversation i’ve had with her. Over the last couple years I have gotten to know her and her family at church, and it has only reinforced these opinions of her. So being able to be there when these two people have said “I want you and no other” has been such a privilege for me.

Spokane Engagement Photographer: Tony & Stephanie

I met Tony way back in 7th grade. It's pretty crazy to think about, but this year I'll be photographing two friends from that time in my life. It's amazing to think about how far we have come, how much life has changed, how lucky we are. And Tony definitely lands in that category, as his fiance Stephanie is amazing. She's kind, energetic, and well spoken. They work so well together.
