Coeur d'Alene Photographer: Tyler and Krystal's Tubbs Hill Sunset Engagement

They met in Jr. High - but weren't super close friends. They talked, hung out, but it wasn't like Tyler was calling up Krystal in the evening to see if she wanted to go hang out. They did, however, share the same friend group. It was this way all the way through high school, and once high school ended - so did their friendship. Well, kind of. Just like so often happens, after high school they just didn't see each other very much. This was true until they saw each other at a barn party one of their friends was throwing.

Spokane Wedding Photographers: Bryce and Krystal's The Ridge at Greenbluff Wedding

Bryce and Krystal had an absolutely beautiful wedding with so many awesome moments. Personally, one of the ones that hit me the most was when Krystal read some vows to Bryce’s son Caiden - her new stepson - after the first look. He’s about the same age as one of my boys, and you could see on his face how much that moment meant to him, but also Bryce and Krystal. You take moments like that, and combine the hilarious toasts, beautiful final dance and incredible sunset, and you have an absolutely incredible wedding. I’m absolutely excited to share these with you, and I hope you see the moments as they were. I certainly loved being there for them.

Personal: Looyenga Family Goes White Water Rafting with ROW Adventures

So about a week ago my family and I had the huge opportunity to go white water rafting with the incredible people over at Row Adventures. I didn’t do this for work, I did it for fun, so all these photos are way less focused on what Row has to offer, and way more focused on my family, and the amazing people that made the experience. Because it was amazing people that made that experience.

Photographers in Coeur d'Alene: The Macniak's CDA Beach Family Photos

I had the amazing privilege of meeting the Macniak family on the beach for some photos earlier this summer. They were so kind, their kids were energetic, and I love what we got of these guys. I hope you love them too!

Spokane Photographers: Brandt & Shayna's Wedding at The Ridge at Greenbluff

Brandt and Shayna had an absolutely beautiful wedding day. From a completely unique getting ready time (where Brandt hung out with all the ladies as they got ready) to an insane sunset where it rained on us while it also bombarded us with some of the most incredible warm tones, Brandt and Shayna made all of these moments feel natural and easy. They are kind, soft spoken, and thoughtful - with some amazing family too. Put all this on top of the beautiful Ridge at Greenbluff, and we end up with an absolutely killer wedding. I’m excited to share it with you!

CDA Family Photographer: The Dero Family

I saw the Dero family a couple of years ago, and so when they asked me to come out again and get some extra-close-up shots of their family and beautiful girls, I was excited - and honored - to do it again. Here are some of my favorites.
