Spokane Wedding Photographers: Cord and Christy's Spokane Valley Wedding

About ten years ago (woah! 10 years!) I had the chance to shoot an incredible couple who are kind, thoughtful, and love their dogs (shout out to John and Michelle!). Their wedding was beautiful, and I loved it. Fast forward to this March and I had the chance to photograph Michelle’s twin sister. What an honor. It's always amazing to me how much I remember about the weddings I shoot, but also how much I genuinely enjoy seeing the people again. This wedding was that way for me, and i’m so excited to share these late March, snow melting-but-still-super-cold-outside photos.

Personal: Wedding Photographer Goes to Arizona/Utah

Early last November I had the opportunity to fly down to Arizona to do some family photos for the Fischers. To say it was awesome would be an understatement. Not only was it so great to see them, but catching up with them and talking with them was another huge highlight of my trip. That said, before that photo shoot ever took place my incredible wife Crystal and I flew down a couple days early to explore the area a little more. These photos are part of what I got from that adventure.

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Alex & Rebecca's Spokane Club Wedding

Alex and Rebecca are two genuine, kind people. After spending some time with them at their engagement and hearing their story, and then listening to their vows, being there on their wedding day, watching Alex see Rebecca for the first time, it’s hard for me to not appreciate them even more. Their wedding was beautiful, filled with amazing people, great moments, funny moments, and a couple who clearly love each other. I think this is even more evident when you check out their Photo Story (embedded below) which includes the audio from he first look, their vows, and some of the toasts. I love how it brings things to life, and you dont’ just see their smiles - you hear it. I hope you love it as much as I loved making it.

Coeur d’Alene Engagements: Josh & Solina’s Tubbs Hill Winter Engagement

Josh and Solina have an energy about them. It’s something that is translated so well during our engagement shoot. They were easy to talk to, quick to laugh, and game for anything (even if the drop was terrifying Solina). Getting to know them was a joy, learning how they met (online) and how Josh didn’t let their first date be at a (good) but not-nice-enough place like a Mexican restaurant really impressed Solina.

Wedding Photography Review: Jake & Taylor

A couple summers ago I got to photograph Jake & Taylor’s wedding! Their wedding was amazing! I really enjoyed getting to know Jake & Taylor and being able to capture their important day! So, when I saw a couple months ago Taylor was kind enough to write me this review… I couldn’t help but share it with you! :)

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Corey & Megan

There is one thing Megan really wanted on her winter wedding day - snow. Well it doesn’t take too long to look around at these photos to realize that didn’t happen, until it did. It was a pretty great surprise when about 40 minutes into dancing we were blessed with a fresh coating of snow outside where we could capture some pretty magical photos. That isn’t to say the rest of the day wasn’t also beautiful, with Megan’s magnetic personality and the kindness of her friends, we had an awesome time (even though that time was also very cold). Their beautiful wedding at the Chateau Rive downtown Spokane was a great one, and I’m excited I get to share these photos with you from their beautiful day.
