Wedding at Quail Run Ranch: Jake & Taylors Eastern Washington Wedding

Jake and Taylor had an incredible wedding. From their first look, to their amazing friends and family, to their incredible sunset (which I may have posted too many of their photos from that sunset session… sorry i’m not sorry?) Jake and Taylor are two amazing humans. I loved getting to know them, watching them smile big, laugh, and have a great time with each other. Whether that’s eating some pepperoni pizza real quick in the middle of our photo session or trying not to flip over while floating out on the pond, these two were amazing, and i’m so excited that I get to share so many amazing moments from one of the biggest days of their lives.

Engagement Photographer: Bronson and Brittany

They met online, as so many people do these days (seriously though, SO many people!). Brittany saw Bronson's profile and saw a lot of things she liked. Not only was he incredibly "cute" but he also had dogs, wanted a real relationship, seemed to be looking for something real. So she messaged him.

Family Photographer in CDA: The Sellers Family

I had the opportunity to drive out and meet the Sellers family earlier this summer and they were awesome! Not only are they kind and thoughtful, but they were so easy to get along with, laugh with, and talk to. I loved getting to capture this beautiful family, and i’m pumped I get to share these photos with you.

Engagement Photos on Tubbs Hill: Seth & Brittney

Seth and Brittney are two amazing people that grew up kind of far apart (Seth just outside of Bend, Brittney near the Tri-Cities… if I remember correctly) and so they didn't meet growing up, or in school or anything like that. They met like so many couples do these days - on Tinder. You see, Seth moved away from his home town as he was doing research with a PHD student, and when he saw Brittney's picture on Tinder, he did the obvious thing - he swiped right.

North Idaho Adventure: Hiking in the Mountains

Every summer I get the chance to get outside - most of the time it’s because i’m at your wedding, or visiting with someone’s family, or whatever. But even more rarely I get to do some hiking because I WANT to, because I love to be outside, because I love my job so much that I want to do it when i’m not actually doing it. These photos are the result of me and some friends getting up and leaving at 2am to go on a hike so we could reach the top of this mountain in North Idaho before the sun rose over the horizon. We timed it perfectly and arrived during blue hour. There are perhaps more photos here than need to be, but I couldn’t help myself. Every moment was beautiful, and trying to capture what it’s like, sitting on the side of a hill as the very first rays of sun peek out over the mountains is something that’s hard to describe.

Wedding at the Chateau Rive, Spokane: Jarrett & Meagan get married!

Jarrett and Meagan are two people that leave an impression. They are quick to smile, energetic, kind, and show their amazing personalities wherever they go. You see it in the way they act, laugh, and smile. You see it in the kinds of friends they keep, and the way they treat those around them. These two people are quality humans, and I had such an amazing time getting to know them and their friends and family. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful, from their first look to their dance party (which moved outside because it was much cooler). I love the fact I can share some of these photos with you and I hope you love each and every moment.
