Coeur d'Alene Resort Wedding: Gabe & Samantha

Gabe and Sammy are two special people. Not just because they are absolutely beautiful (which they are) but because that beauty isn’t just on the outside. I absolutely loved spending time with them at their wedding, meeting their friends and family, being a part of their big day - capturing each moment. These two truly belong with each other, and now I get the honor of sharing so many of those timeless moments, those incredible with you. I hope you love them as much as I loved taking them.

Sandpoint Wedding: Geoff & Alicia

Jeff and Alicia had a beautiful wedding at Talus Rock in Sandpoint, and while I only covered this one for a small period of time, it was absolutely beautiful. I love being there for the small weddings just as much as I love the big ones. Getting to meet all the people, and in Jeff and Alicia’s case, their beautiful daughter, is always so much fun for me. I hope you guys love these photos of their beautiful day.

Coeur d'Alene Wedding Reception: Brady & Neale

Brady and Neale are two people who got hit with the 2020 cancelations and reschedules. However, unlike many people, they also didn’t let that slow them down. They went and got married in 2020 and seem all the better for it. However they still had their wedding date floating out there in 2021, so they made some changes (smaller guest list, no ceremony, slightly different venue, etc) and so instead of a big wedding we had a small wedding reception at the Coeur d’Alene Resort. I won’t retreat what I talked about during their engagement shoot, but being here and watching these two be as happy as they are was a huge honor. Two quality humans saying they love each other, and want to be with each other forever is an amazing thing. This blog is a little different than most, no ceremony and all, but i’m so happy I get to share these memories with you.

Lake City Senior: Parker Rimpau

I loved meeting Parker. Strong, quick to laugh, good humored and a solid dude. It feel weird sometimes going back to Lake City (I graduated from there) and seeing the old places, hearing new stories. Parker has left his mark on this school i’m sure, and he has a bright future in front of him.

Coeur d'Alene Family Photos: Nora

Ever since my oldest son started going to school he has been going to Bryan Elementary (although that changed this year, but that isn’t particularly needed for this story). Anyway, Bryan Elementary is an incredible elementary school near our home downtown Coeur d’Alene. What is important to the story though is that in his class was an incredible young lady named Nora. She was always sweet, kind, and had a beautiful smile. Well last year I had the chance to get a couple photos of Nora, and it was a huge honor to be asked again. It is amazing to me to see how much older kids her age look only a year later. I see my boys all the time and so their growing is less noticeable. Nora has grown a lot since last year, but her smile hasn’t gotten any less amazing.

Mount Spokane Engagement: Tyler & Daniele

They met in class. Tyler first noticed her when she came walking into class - frazzled and in a hurry. It was an early morning class, and getting there on time is a challenge for anyone. What they quickly realized, however, was that they both lived in the same apartment building. And would soon start car pooling with each other to various things. But I'm jumping ahead here, because Daniele never really noticed Tyler in class - it wasn't until a pool party later that they were both at that she noticed the "mysterious" man, things she had heard about but hadn't actually known were true.
