Dillon and Mariah had an incredible day, from the beautiful home in the forest that Mariah got ready at, to the incredible Cedars we did portraits at, and finally to that amazing sunset late into the evening (sunset that day was almost around 10pm). The thing is though, it was Dillon and Moriah who made their day special. It was these two who were kind, and generous, who laugh and look at each other with such kindness. Look no further than their first look, and the way Dillon looks upon his beautiful bride to know the love they share among each other. Or the single tear that came down Mariah’s face as she walked down the aisle to say “I will love you and no other” in front of her best friends and family. I loved being there, and i’m so excited to share these photos with you. :)
Read MoreThe Blackmore family is from Chicago, but they were up here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest to celebrate family. I was the lucky one that got to meet this amazing family, the family that is three families now, and meet their beautiful, kind, and expressive kids. While we didn’t have a lot of time to talk, I enjoyed the time I did have with them, and I loved being able to take some amazing family photos of them downtown Coeur d’Alene. What a great opportunity for capturing some amazing moments of these beautiful people.
Read MoreThey met in high school. In fact, they both liked each other in high school. Now, stories that start like this often go the route of "they met and dated in high school, they were on and off a little in college, but finally they realized that they were the one, and they got together for good". Well, in Rob and Christina's case, this isn't true. In fact, the only move either of them made in high school was Christina's random kiss just after guitar practice.
Read MoreThey met on Tinder. Kevin was the first person Lauren had ever met with, and she had only downloaded the app the day before. To say she was nervous when they met at the bar for some drinks is probably an understatement, but it doesn’t take a genius to know it went decently well. I would say it wasn't "the most amazing thing ever" because Lauren said their first two dates were "a little awkward."
Read MoreAxton and Shauna are incredible people and their wedding downtown Spokane at the McGinnity room definitely stayed in line with that. That is to say, their wedding was awesome. From the incredible space, to the amazing and friendly bridal party, the kind family, and of course, the amazing bride and groom, their wedding day had great and stunning moments. Axton and Shauna had a beautiful first look and some great and touching moments during their ceremony. I loved their style and colors, and I loved how that style fit so well at their venue of choice. I’m so pumped to be sharing these photos with you guys today, so you can also experience their amazing wedding.
Read MoreI love going on adventures, saying “lets climb a mountain” and finding epic spots. Sometimes when you’re there, trying to stand on the side of a mountain it doesn’t feel as epic, but later, looking back at the photos, you’re always glad you did it. The other thing I love about taking senior photos is working with a single subject. While I photograph couples, engagements and weddings all the time, it’s a unique challenge to take pictures of one person. It sets them apart, and allows us to do some different things, while also taking away others. My time with Jordan (and his amazing family) was an easy one, as he is my nephew, so we picked huckleberries, saw a bear (well, Jordan’s dad did, not I) and got some amazing photos. Always good times.
