Sam and Megan had such an absolutely beautiful wedding. Taking place at a Boy Scout camp on Diamond Lake in Washington, it had some beautiful backgrounds, with lots of room, and some really natural vibes. Sydney with Piece of Harmony events killed it on the planning, bring together an absolutely huge space making each location awesome (glad we had a golf cart!). But the place just fit Sam and Megan. I loved meeting their friends and family, but above all I loved watching them laugh together. This was a beautiful wedding, and I hope you love these photos!

Tom and Lissa's Anniversary Announcement Shoot on Mt. Spokane

Tom and Lissa met over 20 years ago, how do I know? Well, coming up this New Year, they will have been married for twenty years. Woah! Twenty years is no small piece of time, and it is so exciting to be able to be there when they renew their vows at the Historic Davenport. This shoot on top of Mt. Spokane was absolutely awesome for me, getting to know these two, watching them interact and laugh together. Such a great couple, and I am so excited to share these moments with you.

Eric & Magda's Backyard Wedding in Idaho

Eric and Magda hold a unique place for me because they had one of my favorite engagement shoots of the year. It wasn’t just beautiful with an amazing couple and perfect weather, rather, it also meant I had the chance to get to know these two a little bit more. They are both kind, thoughtful, and so in love with each other - not to mention super photogenic. I am excited that I get to share some of my favorite photos from their backyard wedding, where so many great things happened. I hope you love them as much as I loved taking them!

Dorian and Renee's Belle's on the Bluff Wedding

Dorian and Renee’s wedding was beautiful. While it was quite hot that day, it had so many great moments. From their “first touch” from around the door, to when Renee walked down the aisle, there were so many great emotional moments. I also really enjoyed Dorian’s face when he saw his ring for the first time (It was a surprise for him). Either way, this wedding was filled with great people, and at a beautiful location. Very excited to share these ones with you.

Malinda's Branding Shoot

I had the huge privilege of photographing Malinda’s wedding a couple of years ago when she married Michael. It was a ton of fun, it was beautiful, and I had the chance to meet some pretty incredible people (Shout out to her brother and sister in law Russell and Allison!) So being able to get some great photos of Malinda for her job (she’s one of the best saprano’s in the world… if I remember what she told me correctly).. So excited to share these, and I hope you love them!

Aaron and Payton's Wedding at The Ridge at Greenbluff

You may not know this about me, but I have two boys. Isaiah and Judah. At this moment, they are in sixth grade and fourth grade. I bring this up, because Aaron and Payton met in fourth grade. Their story started so long ago that it’s bewildering to me as a father. Who would my sons know now, that in 10 years they may be marrying them? It’s a crazy thought. And if you want to hear more about their story, you should definitely check out their engagement photos. What you need to know for this blog, is that the relationship that started back in fourth grade, from the valentines cards (which they still have) to their school pictures, these two have been together. They’ve been through some crazy things, and all that came to a point on this one day - the day they both said “I want you and no other”. Such a beautiful wedding, with so many great moments, great laughter, and a genuinely awesome group of people. This wedding was a highlight for me this year, and I don’t think you’ll have to scroll too far to understand why - Aaron and Payton are awesome for a multitude of reasons, and I hope that is conveyed in these images. I certainly loved taking them.
