Will and Jordan's Engagement in Coeur d'Alene

Will and Jordan met online - as almost everyone does these days. The weird thing about it was that Will lived in Washington, while Jordan lived in Nashville. Yeah, if you're trying to think "how did they match?!" That's exactly what Jordan was thinking too. So she messaged him "You're not from here, are you?" - There must have been something that tipped her off. Either way, the reason is simple, Will said the people in our area "just weren't working out" and so he changed his matchable area to be very, very large.

Colton and Summer at the Beach

It’s hard for me to fully elaborate on how much I appreciate these two. They aren’t just a couple who asked me to take their photos. They aren’t some friends i’ve had a long time. They are more than that. Admittedly I know Colton much better than I know his beautiful wife Summer, but being able to spend time with both of them, watch them laugh together, was something I highly enjoyed. These are two amazing people, and if you know them, you know i’m right. Here are some of my favorites from our shoot.

Wedding at the Ridge at Greenbluff with Trevor and Whitney

Trevor and Whitney’s wedding had it all. Amazing people, great dancing, touching moments, beautiful moments, and even an Icing. Being part of a wedding like this is always so fun for me, and stands out in a huge way. I love watching people be happy, watching people party, and more than any of that, watching people say “I want you and no one else, for the rest of my life.” I am truly so happy to be able to share these memories, moments, people with you here. Sorry i’m not sorry there are so many!

Fernando and Jaimey's Tubbs Hill Engagement

They met on Hinge during the pandemic - as so many couples have. Turns out, when life slows down a bit, it becomes much easier to meet people. So while they matched on Hinge, it didn't take Fernando long to invite Jaimey out on a date. He said that he hated the back and forth of the texting, and would rather just "know".

Kevin & Abby's Backyard Wedding

Kevin and Abby are two people that have some incredible friends and family - and this is a reflection of them. They were kind from the moment we parked in the wrong spot. And their wedding was filled with beautiful moments, from such an awesome first look to a gorgeous sunset. I’m so excited to be able to share these with you!

Personal - National Park Visits

In the Middle of June I had the chance to photograph a wedding out in Denver, CO. This was beautiful, and such an honor to be able to go across the country to photograph a wedding. Being that I love to hike and explore, I thought the trip would be much better spent if I took my family with me, and we went through some national parks on the way there - and on the way back. In the end, we went to the Grand Teton National Park, Rocky Mountains National Park, and Yellowstone National Park all in a matter of a week. Here are some highlights from that trip!
