Wedding Information

Lindsay and Nathan’s wedding at the top of a mountain on the Washington and Idaho boarder was absolutely beautiful. I had such a blast getting to know both of these two and their families. It was a beautiful, small, intimate wedding, and I'm excited to share some of these photos from the day.

This wedding had all the things you would want. Incredible bride and groom, emotional moments, great family and friends. Settlers Creek is a beautiful place, so when you add in some amazing people with an incredible sunset, definitely check out the photos below!

Ellie and Noe’s wedding was one of my favorites of the year. Not only did I get to meet and take family photos of them and their families the day before, but I absolutely loved getting to know their friends on the day of. But above it all, they are just two kind people. This shows so easily when you just look at their smiles, and how much they clearly love each other, and spending time together. The Ridge at Greenbluff was showing off during this wedding, with so many amazing moments and that incredible sunset light. Sorry I'm not sorry I am posting so many photos.

Nikki and Devon are two people I hit it off with right away. They are easy to talk to, kind, thoughtful, and were ready to have an incredible wedding day. And an incredible day they had! We couldn’t ask for a better day, sunny and clear but not hot, we had such an awesome wedding at a beautiful home on the Spokane River. I had so much fun with these two and their families. Definitely excited you are here to see some of my favorite photos from the day.

Rene and Nick are two amazing people, and it isn’t just because they are kind, and so easy to talk to. They are a couple who was so energetic, so willing to smile, and so willing to be a part and show emotion. I loved getting to know their families, and watch them celebrate one of the best days. They are beautiful and amazing people, and I'm so excited I get to share these photos with you from their beautiful wedding at Cider Mountain in North Idaho.

Dana and Troy had such a great wedding. Taking place at the beautiful Kalispel Country Club, and with so many great people and friends. They were unique in that they didn’t have a bridal party, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have friends there. In fact, there were so many friends, and it made the whole wedding absolutely a blast. I loved getting to know all of them, and I'm so excited to share this wedding with you all.

Zarah and Peyton are unique in that their smiles seem to light up a room. They are so fun to be with, and so unashamedly themselves. I’ve seen many grooms and brides say they “don’t love dancing” all the while still trying to dance or move about. Zarah and Peyton said that, and while they had dance, they decided to go play Magic the Gathering while some of their guests danced. So unique, and so awesome they decided to do what they loved at their wedding. I hope these photos show you a glimpse of the fun we had together, the big and small moments alike.

Kensi and Lewis a special. Look no further than how they handled a pouring rain engagement shoot. But if you do look further, and you meet their family and friends, you will find a bunch of people that speak to who they are. They were all so kind, easy to talk to, and absolutely ready to have fun. I had an absolute blast at this wedding, from the beautiful Gonzaga Campus and cathedral, to the incredible grounds of Kalispel Golf and Country Club. I’m so excited to share these photos with you.

Megan and Nik are two people I've really enjoyed getting to know. From their engagement shoot at English Point to their wedding downtown Coeur d’Alene at one of the oldest buildings in all of Idaho, I've loved watching these two laugh, spend time together, and of course, get married! What a privilege it is to be sharing some of my favorites from their wedding day with you.

Rhea reached out to me recently with a plan. She wasn’t looking for a photographer for a wedding a year or two away—she was getting married in just a couple of weeks! She asked if I could be there to document their surprise elopement at Farragut State Park, and I’m so glad the stars aligned so I could say yes. Watching Rhea and Divine see each other for the first time was incredible, but being the only witness there (alongside the officiant and her husband) was a privilege that is hard to put into words.

I had so much fun meeting with Tom and Shavonne. Not just the first time when we met for beer and talk theology, or the second time when we did their engagement photos, but also the third time when I watched these two amazing people get married! They are so quick to smile, so willing to have a good time, and are just genuinely great humans. Being able to be there, and see Tom’s face as Shavonne walked down the aisle was incredible. And I'm so excited I get to be the one to share their wedding photos with you. I hope you love them!

There are many factors at play in great wedding venues when it comes to photography. Note, there are many factors beyond photography that I cannot speak to - such as the price of a venue, how easy they are to work with from a couples perspective, and how responsive they are. That said, being that I've been to well over 400 weddings, I do know what a great venue looks like - and the Coeur d’Alene Resort is one of them.

Christmas anywhere is beautiful, but Christmas at the Davenport is always something special. The lights, the trees, the beautiful ballrooms all hit a spot that says “tis the season”. If you take this vibe and add in two incredible people - Kevin and Annie - and their commitment to be with each other for the rest of their lives, you have an absolutely beautiful night. I had a blast, from meeting their friends and family, to watching Butch from WSU come strolling into the reception (a complete surprise) the whole evening was filled with great moments and excellent people. I hope you love looking at these memories as much as I loved capturing them.

I saw this all the time, it’s really hard to look happy in the rain. It’s cold. It’s wet - very wet (by definition). It messes up your hair, makes your clothes uncomfortable, and makes existing hard. So when I got to Will and Jordan’s wedding in Mid-Ocotober, I was wondering how the potential for rain would affect the day. While we got very lucky and it held off for most of the portraits, it really started raining on us in the middle of the ceremony. People had umbrellas, yes, but Jordan went without. As the rain fell, and things got more and more wet something struck me - these two seemed to be able to kill it in any situation. They never ceased being kind, never ceased having fun, and were ready for anything. And it shows! I absolutely love how these photos turned out. An amazing couple, group, location, everything came together for an awesome and beautiful wedding that I had a blast being a part of. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Years ago I had the chance to photograph Sarah’s sisters wedding. Back then, Sarah was young, still in high school if I remember correctly, so it was such a huge compliment when they reached out to me this year to photograph Sarah’s wedding as well! While we had a windy, rainy day, it was still absolutely beautiful with some incredible people. Love sharing these ones with you from the this beautiful Ballard Meadows wedding.

Kanaan and Jessica are two people I have enjoyed from the minute we met at the bar. They are quick to smile, so easy to get along with, and so much fun to be around. And I think that shows here, not only are they fun, but so are their friends. This wedding didn’t lack for laughter, fun moments, touching details, and two lives changed forever. The Ridge at Greenbluff was showing off with some fall colors popping in with this early September wedding, and I love how it all came together. Definitely check out my favorites here, and I hope you love them!

It is crazy how life can work sometimes. Each one of us is going through life, trying to live it the best way possible, honor God, love those around us, our family and friends. And sometimes you make a connection. In this case, the connection was with my oldest son’s Kindergarten teacher (who was excellent) and it was her who introduced me to Tyler and Kelsie. And what a blessing that was! Because these two have been so great, from their engagement shoot last year to their wedding this year they have been fantastic. And you can see that permeated through their family and friends. Such a great bridal party (which I think shows in the energy and smiles in the bridal party photos) and at such an incredible location (Settlers Creek). I hope you love looking through these photos as much as I loved taking them.

Matt and Brooke’s Schweitzer wedding is one I will remember for a long time. I’ll remember driving up the mountain in the morning, looking at the wind and rain and wondering how things were going to go. I’ll remember how they moved their ceremony down to the village so people didn’t get stuck at the top of the mountain. I’ll remember doing photos at the top in the clouds, with the sun popping out between gusts of rain and fog. I’ll remember the dark, moody clouds forming behind them as they were drenched in sun and in that very moment kissing for the first time. I’ll remember Brooke’s smile as they danced. It was a beautiful wedding, with some amazing people, in an incredible location. Here are some of the highlights.

Michael and Heather had a beautiful backyard wedding planned in under four weeks. It was beautiful, overlooking the Spokane River, and had some really great moments. I loved meeting both of them, but also their children, and watching them interact. From the morning all the way to the dances at the end of the evening, they were so great to have there. Here are some of my favorites from the day!

Jeff and Nicola had a super unique wedding. They approached it in a totally different way, with a huge focus on getting photos of guests, a low amount of portraits and bridal party photos. Jeff and Nicola set out to spend the whole day with their guests, and I think they hit that mark. Such a great group of people, such an awesome couple who are kind and thoughtful, with some amazing kids. What an awesome wedding to be a part of, and i’m so excited to share these memories and moments.

Mack and Mayra’s Arbor Crest wedding was absolutely beautiful for so so many reasons. Not only is it so easy to get along with Mack and Mayra, but it was with their friends and family as well. Navigating nine bridesmaids and six groomsman, and all the family can often be a lot of work, but this group made it fun and easy. In addition to that, they were all so down to dance it made the wedding just go by quickly. Throw in on top that Mack and Mayra are just absolutely beautiful people, then it makes my job an easy one. Huge thanks to the incredible vendor team that made it all happen, thinking especially of Sydney with Piece of Harmony Events. Excited to share with you all these incredible moments and people.

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!

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!

One thing that has always struck me about Andrew and Madi are their smiles. These two have some incredible, genuine, joy filled smiles and it is infectious. They have surrounded themselves with people who are similar in temperament, and because of that their wedding at Settlers Creek was not just beautiful, but enjoyable. I had so much fun with these two and their friends and family. It was beautiful and sweet, and man is it a privilege to be able to share these photos with you!

There is something extraordinarily special about Jared and Aubrey. While i’ve known Jared for a long time, Aubrey I have only had the chance to meet recently - but the feeling is the same. These two are amazing. They are kind, thoughtful, and clearly love the Lord. Watching them give their vows, defend each other on the alter, and run into their reception all speaks to the kind of people they are - willing to have fun, laugh, and enjoy life together. I couldn’t be happier for both of these incredible people, and I am SO excited to share these photos with you.

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.

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.

So technically this wasn’t Jacob and Chelsea’s wedding - they were already married - but not technically this was their wedding. This was the time they had all their friends and family show up for a big celebration of the fact they are going to be together for the rest of their lives. These two are so kind, easy to talk to, and man do I love their smiles - big, genuine, extraordinary smiles. I hope you love some of my highlights from their wedding day.

Daniel and Stacey are two people that I have loved getting to know. They are super smart, witty, and have such great senses of humor. I had such a great time getting to know them at their engagement session, but being able to get more context on who they are by being at their wedding, meeting their friends and family and watching them laugh and have a great time, on one of the biggest days of their lives? Amazing. The Glover Mansion was such a great setting for this Mid-January wedding, and while it was cold outside, it was warm and welcoming in the house. I love how these turned out, and I hope you do too! Big thanks to Driftwood Point Events for helping get everything going this day, always love seeing them at weddings.

Tom and Lissa have been married for twenty years. TWENTY. And so, on the day of their anniversary (New Years Eve) they decided to celebrate - and celebrate they did! They had so many great friends at their vow renewal, great moments, and of course, incredible outfits. Look no further than that red suit jacket and red dress they wore, Gonzaga red - if you missed it - and they celebrated, danced, and had a great time. Doing a New Years Eve wedding is always fun, and this one was no different (even though it was technically not a wedding) as everyone comes ready to party, and ready to stay to the countdown. In the end, it was beautiful, fun, and i’m so excited to share these moments with you!
