Coeur d'Alene Wedding Photographer: Viktor & Rachel

Viktor and Rachel are two people I have enjoyed talking to since the day I met them. They were game when the place of meeting was closed and we ended up in Denny’s drinking hot chocolate. They seem like those type of people, ready to go for anything even when it isn’t ideal. That didn’t matter on their wedding day though, as things went so well. It was beautiful. Our weather was perfect, and the Barn on Wild Rose Prairie was as beautiful as ever (look no further than those sunset photos…) These two are kind and thoughtful, with some amazing families that I absolutely loved getting to know. I’m so excited to be the one who gets to share these photos with you, and I hope you love them!

Senior Photographer: Cole Harrison's Senior Photos

Around 8 years ago my wife and I started attending a new church. Our amazing son (Isaiah) was only around two years old then. The church was small with some really great families involved, and the Harrisons were one of them. Muir and Julia have been friends ever since, so when Julia contacted me to see if I could take Cole’s senior photos I was pumped. I had known Cole for years, as he attending the youth group my wife and I volunteered at, and I knew him to be smart and witty, and while I hadn’t seen him in a while I wasn’t surprised that this adult version of himself was just as smart and witty as every. He’s someone I’ve always really enjoyed, and I’m so excited that I have the chance to share these photos of him.

Photographers in CDA: Seth & Brittney’s Rustic River Wedding

Seth and Brittney are two people that I have always loved talking to. Not just because they are kind and thoughtful, but because I feel like we genuinely get along and have similar interests. They are fun, quick to laugh, have some incredible friends and family, and are so much fun to talk to and be with. So there wasn’t much doubt that their wedding would be a blast, and it absolutely was. Rustic River Wedding Venue - just north of Newport - is absolutely beautiful, and I loved getting to explore the many places the location and its grounds had to offer. I hope you love some of my favorite photos from Seth and Brittney’s wedding, as I absolutely loved taking them.

CDA Family Photos: The Luman Family

The Luman family was such an awesome family to meet. Their children were kind, super easy to work with (and eager!) and so great in front of the camera. The rest of the family was equally nice, and I’m so happy that I was able to capture some meaningful family photos for this group.

Coeur d'Alene Photographers: Roberto & Cheyene's Elk Point Wedding

Being able to photograph Roberto and Cheyene’s wedding has been something i’ve been looking forward to. When I first met these two, Roberto was trying to plan a proposal, and we were going to do some photos where he would propose in the middle of the whole thing. This blog is, to this day, one of my most viewed blogs i’ve ever published. So it was, on a very cold November day these two would get engaged.

Spokane Engagement Photos: Kory & Jackey

It's interesting, for Kory and Jackey their story really started out because of networking. Kory was looking to network with as many people as he could, so he added Jackey as a friend. Truthfully, that was it. They had some mutual friends because they went to the same gym. Fast forward about a year and Kory started to notice this friend of his - who he had never really talked to. She was beautiful. So he messaged her, asked her if she wanted to go out.
