Spokane Photographer: Dave & Melissa's Beautiful Davenport Wedding

Dave and Melissa are two people that are charismatic, loving, kind, and so fun to talk to. Going into their wedding day I hadn’t met either of them, and over the course of the day, getting to know them, talking with them, watching them laugh and joke was a huge privilege. So often we get to see what people are like, what makes them ‘tick” when you see them with their friends and family, and I believe this is true. The thing is, Dave and Melissa have some amazing friends and family, people we also enjoyed talking with and getting to know. Their beautiful Catholic wedding in Post Falls, ID followed by their incredible reception at the Davenport Hotel downtown Spokane was something i’ll remember for a long time. I’m excited to share these photos with you, and hope you also love them. :)

Wedding Photographer: Travis & Jenna's Beautiful Oregon Wedding

Ever since I started doing photography, i’ve had the opportunity to photograph my friends. Sometimes it’s just us having fun, other times it’s at incredible events - such as a wedding. In this case, I had the chance to photograph one of my very oldest friends - someone i’ve known for around 22 years. Him and his incredible wife had me come out to Oregon to capture their beautiful day, up in the hills outside Portland. There was so much to love about the wedding, from the incredible vibrant greens, the forest, the people, the family, the friends.

North Idaho Winter Engagement: JD & Kara's Winter Wonderland Engagement

There is so much to say about JD and Kara. We could talk about how they met in Montana while JD was playing football, or how during that time they were friends, but not together. We could talk about how I met them, that beautiful, energetic, maid of honor I had the privilage of getting to know at a wedding I photographed a couple years ago. I could even talk about the beautiful engagement photos on this blog today, how we got so lucky with snow, and our adventures in making this shoot come to life.

Coeur d'Alene Family Photographer - The Walter Family

Several years ago I photographed a wedding for Chris and Bryanna - two people I have come to know and love dearly - in that wedding party was an incredibly beautiful, energetic, kind bridesmaid (actually, the whole bridal party was pretty awesome, but this isn't about them). Anyway, her name was Jessica. Over the years she has gotten married - to an equally kind and thoughtful guy named Greg - and had an incredibly beautiful child. When they asked me if I could photograph their new family, I was so excited. The day we ended up with was perfect (for mid February that is), we actually had sun, and it wasn’t below freezing. In short, it was beautiful. I love the photos I got, and i’m so excited for this beautiful family.

Spokane Engagement Photographer: Brady & Neale's Incredible Lake Engagement

They met in the lab. Brady had the only source of de-ionized water, and Neale and her friend needed some. They were also bored, so they went over there, and started to talk. Brady’s first impression was that Neale was beautiful, kind, and fun to talk to, but he only thought of her has a friend. Neale also found Brady cute, but also funny. They would talk for an hour or so (with their mutual friend as well) then move on.

Spokane Photographers: Johnny & Shayla's North Idaho Winter Wedding

Johnny and Shayla had a beautiful wedding in the mountains in the panhandle of North Idaho this last January. The snow was deep (so, so deep) and the snowstorm didn’t really let up all day. If you’re looking for winter wedding photos, this is an easy, one-stop shop. I know Shayla had been hoping for snow, and she had prepared, with full winter boots and a determination to go wherever we thought would look awesome - and i’m super pumped with how it turned out. Their wedding was beautiful, unique, and filled with great moments. I distinctly remember watching Johnny dancing with his son toward the end of the night, big smile on his face, and thinking “this is awesome, what a great memory”. It’s times like this, where joy is so apparent, that I love my job. I’m pumped to share these incredible winter wedding photos with you, and hope you love them.
