Eastern Washington Wedding Photographer: Bella & Katie

I had the chance to meet Bella and Katie at a wedding I photographed several years ago at the Davenport Hotel in Spokane Washington (shout out to Chris and Sammy!) As was the case with that whole group, both Bella and Katie were excellent people to get to know, but kind and thoughtful, but also fun to laugh with. So when they contacted me and asked if I could photograph their wedding out near Mt. Rainier National Park I was pumped. Not just because I’d get the chance to see some friends again, but because it’s such a beautiful area to be in. So here are the photos, and I hope you love them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Spokane Engagement: Asif & Ashley

If we really want to get technical, Joe and Nicole have known each other for a long time. They went to the same middle school and high school - but they really didn't know each other. It was more of a "I know that person exists" kind of thing.

Wedding at the Coeur d’Alene Resort: Jared & Alexis

Jared and Alexis had such an awesome day. I had fun with them from the second I walked into the getting ready room, all the way to the very end on the dance floor. They are so easy to talk to, get along with, and absolutely easy to photograph. Not only that, watching this amazing couple take care of their beautiful daughter on the day of, in the midst of the whole thing was beautiful. Getting to share these photos with you is an absolute blessing, and I am so exited to hear what you think!

Leavenworth Elopement Photographer: Robbie & Cassie

Robbie and Cassie are two people I have very much enjoyed my time with, from their (freezing) engagement session, to this climb to the top of a mountain near Leavenworth, WA, When they asked me if I wanted to join them on a hike where they were going to share each other’s vows and get married early (they still have a reception planned for New Years Day at the Spokane Club) I was so excited for it. Two amazing people, hiking, an incredible location? Yes please. And even though we had a lot of smoke on this particular day, I absolute love how these turned out. Here are some of my favorites!

Family Photos in North Idaho: The Emery Family

Every time I interact with the Emery family it’s a blessing. I could go back to sophomore year of high school when Sarah was my prom date, or even further back to 8th grade when I worked with Josh at Senior Froggy (RIP CDA location). I could go back to the time I spent with Tyler at North Idaho College during lunch, or when Josh beat me (handily) in the CDA half marathon. Or even the chance I had about five years ago to photograph this entire (growing) family. In every instance, it has been a blessing, a joy, to talk with this fine group of people. They are kind, thoughtful, quick to laugh, and have easy smiles. I love talking with them, and it is an incredible honor that they have picked me again to photograph their family - the thing that is most valuable to us in our lives. I hope you love these!
