Priest River Wedding Photographer / Lindsay and Scott

Lindsay and Scott were married on August 12, 2017 on the Pend Oreille River in Priest River, Idaho. In the same place they got engaged even, which happens to be Lindsay's grandparent's home. It was the perfect setting! They had close family and friends there to celebrate and it was so fun and relaxed. These two were so excited! ❤️ Lindsay is a photographer as well, so I'm always honored to be chosen to capture a big day for someone that knows my job too well.

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Christine and Tony at Belles on the Bluff

Belles on the Bluff was a beautiful location for Christine and Tony's wedding September 4th. Perfect ceremony in the grass with a modern barn reception on Greenbluff. The farm tables and benches make the perfect touch too. Beautiful bride, but Christine and Tony's son was on right up there with steeling the show... such a cutie!!! These two really had the perfect day to remember and look back on!

Colton, WA Wedding Photographer / RyAnn and Ryan at Red Barn Farms

It was so much fun photographing RyAnn and Ryan's wedding on Saturday at Red Barn Farms. Such an easy going couple who were just excited to get married to each other! They've dated since High School and then more recently long separations due to work and school, so they were both very happy for this day. Everywhere I turned there were cute little signs and decorations... I sure hope I didn't miss any! They had a photo booth that was busy non stop and it was also great to work with Ryan with Ferguson Films. There was no shortage of memories being captured at this one... and such a beautiful bride! I also must say one of the funniest moments that has ever happened to me was luckily witnessed by few, but I will say as wind caught hold of one of the videographer's paper plates at dinner it somehow went straight across the table and stuck flat to my face (food side). It didn't come off until I took it off. I don't think any guests saw.... and no pictures captured, but we had a good laugh!

Grand Coulee Wedding Photographer / Megan and James

Megan and James were married on August 1st outside of Grand Coulee Dam on family's property. It was a simple outdoor country ceremony and reception with no shortage of perfect decor. Complete Music and Long Horn Barbecue also came up from Spokane for the party. I had an easy time enjoying my day photographing these two and was happy to share my own anniversary with them as well!

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Melody and Cameron at Commellini Estate

Melody and Cameron got their good luck rain on their wedding day this past weekend, and it didn't even effect their wedding since it cleared up right in time for photos and ceremony. My first time shooting at Commellini Estate and there are so many fun little spots there... I didn't even get to use them all. Beautiful ceremony even with a fawn hanging out in the trees across the creek for guests to enjoy as they waited for ceremony to start. They had a big group of friends and family to dance the night away with - all the way to the end of the night. Pretty fun time for all! See more in their slideshow...

Montana Wedding Photographer / Elena and Joey at Bitterroot Barn in Corvallis, MT

Such a fun day (and week) for these two! Elena grew up in Montana, but lives in Boston where she met Joey. They had a busy week with friends and family for their "destination" wedding back in Elena's hometown. A beautiful setting with fields, dirt roads, barns and surrounded by mountains. In Elena's words "Truly was the best day of my life!". I never met Elena and Joey before their wedding, but we do share a best friend (and bridesmaid), and I feel lucky I was trusted to capture this day for them and be such a big part of it! I had so much fun I barely noticed the triple digit temps! :)

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Tahney and Trevor

Tahney and Trevor's wedding on June 13th was held at her grandparent's beautiful home, offering a perfect outdoor setting. No details missed even with quick planning due to military orders. They had a great day with friends and family! Now just a few days after their wedding they are headed to Hawaii to live! Blessings on your move and next chapter together!

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Melanie and JW

Since I'm posting Melanie and JW's wedding photos from this weekend I realized I have been so bad on my blog that I never even posted their engagement session last fall!!! So here is one of those at least... I have been better at posting 'most' recent sessions on my facebook page, but as summer comes there will be more weddings on the blog as well!

So "3-2-1 blast off" as they say for their 3/21 wedding, love that! This couple truly has a lot to look forward to in building their lives together and it's obvious they are very excited for it. It was fun hanging out with them and their family and friends all day. Turned out several of their friends are my friends as well, so it was extra fun running into people.

As you can see Melanie was a beautiful bride! Bouquet/flowers gorgeous by Esther with Special Touch. The ceremony was at Summit Church, with the reception at The Lincoln Center, which was decorated amazingly! The day couldn't have gone any better... Melanie did an amazing job planning!!! :) Congrats to you both! I am so happy for you guys to start a new chapter of your lives together!

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Caitlyn and Matthew at Arbor Crest

Caitlyn and Matthew held their wedding on September 5, 2014 at Arbor Crest Winery. One of my favorite venues that I haven't been to in awhile! Such a cute couple, they are undoubtedly best friends and in love! Caitlyn has a contagious smile and I've had fun glancing back at them over the last few days and seeing how their photos turned out! Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Harrop (Hair-up)! :) I hope you two are enjoying your cruise!  To see more of Caitlyn and Matt's wedding view the slideshow below...

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Monica and Nico at Mrs. Kalin's Barn

This couple had a beautiful wedding on Greenbluff on August 23rd, 2014. Mrs. Kalin's Barn offers a great venue for an outdoor ceremony and a covered outdoor reception. I was excited to finally have a wedding there! Monica and Nico are such a great couple and perfect together. Nico's mom, Melissa (and my hair dresser), did SO much putting this wedding together (I know from her telling about her projects over the last year). She made just about every decoration and detail herself, ran around putting it all together that day, and even did Monica's hair and make-up of course. There were no details left out. Simply gorgeous day for her son and her new daughter-in-law that they love GREATLY! There was no dry eye during the speeches at this one. Myself, even the caterers (Just a Couple of Moms), I heard had to wipe some happy tears for this couple. Happy endings are the best!

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Abbie and Joey in Nine Mile Falls

Abbie and Joey held their wedding on August 2nd at Joey's parent's home, the house he grew up in. They had the perfect place for it! My husband and Joey have known each other their whole lives, they are pretty much brothers! It's exciting to see how Abbie makes Joey so happy, especially on this special day it was pretty obvious. Abbie was beautiful of course. My daughter is still talking about the princess in the white dress she saw last weekend! Super happy this day has finally came for you guys, with a future of happiness ahead, congratulations!!!

Leah and Rob were married on July 25th in Look Lake, WA at a private residence. This is the 3rd wedding in Rob's family that I've photographed and love that I get to see their family expand and welcome Leah. There is no doubt this couple is very much in love and have so many people that love them! They are already on the right track with 3 kids, a beautiful family! Congrats you two! It was also fun to see 5 of my brides, and their grooms, at this wedding, with one dating all the way back to 10 years ago!   To see more of Leah and Rob's wedding view slideshow below...

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Amanda and Joshua at The Davenport Hotel

Amanda and Josh celebrated their wedding ceremony and reception at The Davenport Hotel on July 12, 2014. It's been a hot weekend, so everyone was happy to spend most of the day inside! Amanda did such a good job planning every detail of this day and everything went PERFECTLY! I can't think of one thing that could've been changed to make this day any better for them. I was happy to be a part of it! As always it was great working with The Davenport Hotel and Traks DJ Service. To view more images watch slideshow below...

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Courtney and Tony at Spokane Club and Redeemer Lutheran Church

Courtney and Tony weren't just High School sweethearts, but they even went to Preschool together and at the same church they were married in. How cute is that! We started the day off at Jaazz Hair Salon and The Davenport Hotel before getting in their A Little Class Limo. After taking photos downtown we headed to the Valley to Redeemer Lutheran Church for the ceremony and then back downtown to the Spokane Club for the reception. Everyone had a great time! I think the highlight of their day (besides getting married) was their limo stop to get Slurpies on the way to the ceremony!

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Melissa and David at Northern Quest Casino

Melissa and David held their wedding ceremony and reception at Northern Quest Casino on Saturday, June 21st. After all the rainy weather we had last week it turned out to be the perfect day for it! We went to a nearby private garden, owned by a friend of theirs, for some photos which gave us a nice variety along with the fabulous Casino. David is also a photographer, so he knew it would give us some nice options. I'm always honored when a photographer decides to have me capture their special day! Melissa and David are pretty much the nicest couple you'll ever meet! Congratulations you two!!!

Spokane Wedding Photography / Morgan and Bryce at Belle Victorian Gardens

Morgan and Bryce had a beautiful wedding day at Belle Victorian Gardens in Deer Park. They have the cutest little girl that was obviously a center of attention all day, next to her Mommy of course! Being from California I finally met them at the rehearsal dinner, but I had a really good time getting to know them over the two days! Check out their wedding day...

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Jessica and Cole at Beacon Hill

Jessica and Cole's wedding at Beacon Hill was beautifully put together thanks to some amazing vendors. Even with these two planning from out of town and with a shorter six month engagement. This couple didn't want to waste any time tying the knot, they just knew and are so in love! Jessica's make-up was flawless and done by the reputable The Make-Up Studio. Terri with Just Roses did all the flowers, and lots of flowers! Beacon Hill's food was incredible, as usual, but this was really really good! And Craig with Milestone Music had the party going even past the bride and groom's departure. To see more images check out their slideshow below....

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Julie and Jamie at Beacon Hill

After 12.5 years Julie and Jamie are finally married! October 6, 2012 was the big day at Beacon Hill. Not being from Spokane, the majority of their family and friends had to travel to be here, but so many of them would have never missed this moment! They had clear blue skies and warm weather (until the sun went down... and probably not warm at all in the opinions of the travelers from warmer climates!). They honored Chinese tradition with a tea ceremony for their family following the ceremony. The bride and groom greet and serve tea to their relatives. Julie and Jamie had made just about everything at their wedding. They both contributed with all the DIY projects and had spent the last several months making and prepping these items together. Julie even made bouquets and boutonnieres! They are such a great couple together and they couldn't stop smiling at each other all day! It was a wonderful day to be a part of. I've also had Gangnam Style stuck in my head for a couple days since it was played 3 times, haha! :)  Make-up: The Make-Up Studio, Hair: Salon Concepts, Florist: Fleur De Provence, Cake: Just American Desserts, DJ: Complete Music

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Jessica and Ryan at Glover Mansion

The Glover Mansion was a perfect venue for this couple, Jessica and Ryan, last weekend. They had the best of both worlds with an outside ceremony and an indoor reception for the rest of the evening, as the weather gets chillier now. Jessica looked beautiful and Ryan's occasional tears throughout the day showed how happy he was. Everything Jessica picked for her wedding day was so perfect and went wonderful together. Wine bottles that guests signed for the couple to drink at big anniversaries - what a cute idea! Their reception was definitely the highlight starting with their plated dinners served by Glover Mansion. Then to the lively dance party thanks to the fun bride and groom that danced the night away and Complete Music.

Spokane Wedding Photographer / Mackenzie and Joshua at St. Als and Dance Street Ballroom

Mackenzie and Joshua held their ceremony on September 21st at beautiful St. Als, where Mackenzie's mom actually works as the wedding coordinator. We did all their photos nearby on Gonzaga campus and had plenty of photo ops. They are both so easy going and I enjoyed capturing Mackenzie's smile and her laughing the most. She had such an elegant look and had some wonderful friends, that happened to be pros, to keep up on her make-up all day and make her hair just perfect. As you can see with the photos I chose below I was definitely drawn to include her and her smile in nearly all of them. Beautiful flowers were designed by Mike with Beau K. We ended the evening at Dance Street Ballroom for the reception. Couple of Chefs catered their dinner with tons of variety of food and also provided their cake and cupcakes. I've also had the pleasure of sipping on Dutch Bros. Coffee while working on their photos the last few days thanks to them! Mackenzie works there and I was given an extra thank you gift card from them, which I have almost completely used up already! :) Thank you so much for the special treat!
