Spokane Engagement Photos: Cormac & Whitney's Bowl & Pitcher Engagement

I had a great time with Cormac and Whitney. There’s something about how they interact, how they look at each other that is so magnetic. Whitney’s smile says it all, the way she looks at him, holds on to him, fits with him. Two people who have found each other in this world, who have grown in relationship to where they want to say “I want to be with you, and no other”. It’s a beautiful thing, the commitment, the desire, the love. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to capture their engagement.

Spokane Wedding Photographer: Tony & Stephanie's Old-Time Style Foxwood House Wedding

20 years ago I met Tony. He was kind, thoughtful, loved sports and was always positive. He worked hard and always had pride in his family and what they did. It wouldn't be uncommon to hear about what his Dad was doing, or what they had started to do. We played basketball together. Then life happened. Tony did his thing, I did mine, and while I never once though of him as not my friend, we were both working on this thing called "life" that seemed so complicated back then, but we never really knew what that meant. Fast forward roughly 19 years I get a call from my friend Tony (yes, I still had his number in my phone). Turns out, he was getting married to an incredible and beautiful woman named Stephanie.

Spokane Family Photographer: The Kacelek Family

I’ve had the privilege of knowing the Kacelek family for several years now (even more if you count how I know Heidi, whom I went to school with back in high school). They are so kind and quick to laugh. So taking some family photos for them this fall was a huge privilege, and i’m so excited that I get to share them with you now.

Coeur d'Alene Wedding: Adam & Ashley

Adam and Ashley’s wedding was a beautiful and simple one. From the lack of a bridal party, to the 8 minute ceremony, it was straight and to the point, but never lacked those touching moments that can make weddings unique and beautiful. We had so much fun with them, from adventuring out for sunset photos to sharing in the toasts, Adam and Ashley’s wedding was a ton of fun - and boy did they dance the night away. I’m pumped to be able to share these with you guys.

Spokane Engagement Photographer: Zach & Abbie's Fall-Winter Engagement

Zach and Abbie are two people I highly enjoy. It seems every time i’ve seen them (this shoot would be the third) we spend most of our time laughing. They are kind, energetic, and so fun to talk to. I loved hearing the story of how they met (in the hospital) and even though Zach thought things were going super well, Abbie was not on the same page. In fact, it was only because Zach thought she was into him, that they went on a trip to Montana - where she actually started liking him. They clearly love each other, and I had so much fun watching them interact. Their engagement photos, taken on Tubbs Hill, in Coeur d’Alene, were unique in that we had snow, and fall colors. What a unique October we have had.

Spokane Wedding Photographer: Mitch & Serena's Manito Park Wedding

Mitch and Serena are some incredible people. I’ve had the chance to know Serena for years, and getting to know Mitch has shown me one thing - they are so great together. He clearly loves her - you can see this in how he looks at her, and takes care of her, holds her - and they asked me to come and capture one of the biggest days of their lives. I had so much fun with them, first in the parks of the South Hill and their beautiful wedding ceremony in Manito park, to their wedding reception downtown Spokane. It was a beautiful day, and I had the honor of being the one to capture it all.
