Wedding at Arbor Crest: Jake & Joanna's Wedding

Jake and Joanna are two beautiful, amazing people. Their engagement photos out on Fernan Lake were awesome, as was their story. They are two people I got along with immediately, and had a great time with. They are quick to smile, and so genuine. I see this reflected in their friends as well, who were so kind and engaging, making their beautiful wedding at Arbor Crest - with the ceremony at the beautiful St Aloysius Church at Gonzaga University - something i’ll remember for a long time. I’m so excited to be able to share these photos with you, and I hope you love them as much as I do.

Coeur d'Alene Family Photos: The Zimmerman Family

The Zimmerman family is one that I met the day we did the shoot. They were so kind, thoughtful, and were so easy to get along with. I loved visiting with them, hearing where their two sons were headed in life, and just getting to know these four people (and there little dog) a little bit better. I’m pumped I get to share these family photos with you.

Sandpoint Engagement Photos: Jeff & Katie's Engagement

Jeff and Katie are two amazing people. Both live in DC these days but Jeff grew up here in the Pacific Northwest, in Sandpoint. Katie had never been out here though before they met, and when we did this engagement shoot this was one of the first times she had ever been in the area. There were a lot of things that stood out to me about this experience for her. One of them was how kind the people are up here in the Northwest. For one of the photos below (them sitting on a bench with just the water behind them), there were some girls sun bathing in the way. I may have been able to make the shot work with them in there, but instead they looked up and said “do you want us to move?!” - such a kind question.

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.
