The Phillips Family Photos

A couple of years ago I had the chance to meet this incredible family (at the time, just Jake and Allie) at a wedding. They were kind and so helpful. Then a couple of years went by and they had a beautiful baby boy, and were expecting a second when I had the chance to see them again for some family photos, which I absolutely love how they turned out. So getting to see them again this year, capture their growing and beautiful family again was an absolute privilege, never mind even the great company and conversation we had after the shoot. Here are some of my favorites of this beautiful growing family.

Sam and Megan's Wedding on Diamond Lake

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!
