Carson and Ali's Wedding at The Farmhouse on Greenbluff

Carson and Ali are two amazing people. You don’t have to talk with them for very long to see that they are kind and thoughtful people who are so so genuine. My time with them - at their engagement and wedding - has been a highlight for me over the years. And like many people, who they are is reflected in their friends and family as well, who were amazing on this day. Taking place at the beautiful The Farmhouse on Greenbluff, we had some great weather (it was sunny!) and bad weather (it was VERY windy!) and provided some interesting challenges. That said, I love how it all turned out, and i’m so excited to share these highlights with you.

Alabama Family at Red Horse Mountain Ranch

I had the chance to meet the Prager family’s men when they were on a guys trip to Red Horse Mountain Ranch in Harrison, Idaho. It was a blast. Not only is the location absolutely stunning, with mountains, horses, and a beautiful situation, but the guys themselves were super kind and easy to talk to. I had a blast getting some great photos of them, and I loved how interactive the horses were! Even if they literally stood in the way at times.

Dorame Family Photos Near Coeur d'Alene

I only had the chance to meet a couple of the Dorame family members before our shoot, so getting to meet their whole family of four was a huge privilege. They were so easy to get along with, quick to smile and so photogenic. What a privilege being able to get some great photos of this beautiful family.

Product Photography - Burchda Bikes HC26

Getting to work with the Burchda HC26 has been a blast. With dual suspension and all wheel drive, this is a beast of a bike. It his over 31mph and cruises up any hill I took it on. These photos show off a bit of it - the bikes is just at home on the streets as it is in the mountains.

Tytus and Ali's Manito Park Wedding

Tytus and Ali’s wedding was absolutely beautiful. Taking place in the Japanese Garden in Manito Park, it was colorful, beautiful, and one of the best backdrops anyone could ask for for a wedding. From their first look to their private last dance, I loved capturing it all, from the moments, the smiles, to the little details. What a great couple, and such a compliment to be chosen to shoot their wedding after meeting them at another wedding a couple of years ago.

Trevor and Whitney's Beautiful Cloudy Day Engagement

Trevor and Whitney met as so many people do these days, online. The first date didn't happen because Trevor decided he needed to go snowboarding in the mountains. Makes sense, the snow was good that day, and Whitney wasn't someone he had met yet, so because it was so unknown, he went snowboarding.
