Seniors Photographers: Gracie's Senior Photos

Before this day I had never met Gracie. Which is too bad, as she’s very kind, thoughtful, and absolutely photogenic. A couple years ago I had the chance to meet her brother who had similar traits. So this was pretty great, and i’m so excited to share these senior photos with you!

Coeur d'Alene Photographer: Randy & Payton's Beautiful Settlers Creek Wedding

Randy and Payton are two individuals I've enjoyed getting to know since the moment we first met in a coffee shop. They possess fascinating life stories, extraordinary personalities, wonderful friendships, and loving families. The beauty of their wedding lies in how these elements have seamlessly weaved together. Witnessing a couple bring together their closest friends and family to declare, "I choose you, and only you, for the rest of my life," is one of my favorite experiences—it is profoundly beautiful, and I absolutely adore it. Factor in the picturesque backdrop of the day: the stunning location at Settlers Creek, and we end up with a wedding that's breathtaking in countless ways. I'm brimming with excitement to share these moments with you. I hope you love them as much as I do!

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.

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.
