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!

I photographed Robi and Jacob's wedding last weekend on January 2nd, 2016 at Mont Lamm Events. It was a quite the cold day, maybe 5-10 degrees out, and they braved some photos to capture the snowy and sunny day we had! The venue was beautiful inside, so we had no problems doing photos indoors as well. They had a cute hot chocolate bar and donuts from Casual Friday Donuts. It was the perfect cozy winter afternoon wedding! And what a BEAUTIFUL bride!
Olivia and Johnny held their ceremony and reception at Chateau Rive on August 14th. A perfect day getting ready at The Davenport, doing photos downtown (on a not too hot day!), with outdoor ceremony and indoor gorgeously decorated and lit up Chateau Rive. Justin with Amp'd Entertainment was there to keep the reception exciting and did an amazing job setting the mood and lighting for the party. And I don't think Olivia could have been more stunning on her wedding day, such a beautiful couple! I met with them over a year ago to talk about their big day, it's hard to believe it has already came and went. So happy I was there to capture it for them.

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!
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!

My step-daughter, Mackinzi, is going to be a senior this fall, which means doing senior photos! So much has happened in the last 10 years that I've known her, it has flown by so fast, but seeing her go from a goofy little girl to this gorgeous girl (yet still goofy) is just crazy! Even though I took these photos I must say some of them I can't believe they are her. Always a beautiful smile and having fun! I couldn't ask for a better step-daughter and easy teenager to have around. Loved that I was able to capture these for you Mackinzi and I love you bunches! I hope these images represent one of the best years of your life ahead of you.
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!

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! :)

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!
Amelia and Ray were coming up for the Coeur d'Alene Marathon this weekend from Arizona and decided why not get married in this beautiful area! It was just the two of them and these are just a few images from the hour we spent together along with their short ceremony by Angie with Angelic Weddings. How simple and beautiful! I hope you both did well on your first run as a married couple the following day too!!!
Look at these two... what a photogenic couple! Looking forward to their wedding next summer in Grand Coulee!

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!

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!

Alexx and Derek held their wedding at Castle Vineyards in Deer Park on August 22, 2014. This was the last, but not least, wedding for the 4 siblings in Derek's family... one of those also being just this past July! It has been so fun doing all their weddings and watching this family grow with not only spouses, but all the many babies. Even Derek's twin sister couldn't make it to the wedding being she just had her 3rd baby! (Congrats Dani and Arlan!). Alexx and Derek's wedding was wonderful all together, even through a little bit of rain, but the obvious highlight was their helicopter getaway that Derek completely surprised Alexx with. I just loved her reaction! Such an amazing day and evening they had.

What an amazing 2 day event for this couple! Bree and Anthony held their wedding vow ceremony in Ione, Washington on August 1st with their families followed by a reception in Spokane at The Service Station the next day with their friends. I didn't start off the wedding day with the normal groomsmen getting ready scene, but instead we did photos of the boys with guns! Something Anthony knows well and the guys enjoyed! After Bree was dressed we went right into the ceremony, it was beautiful down by the water. The pastor started off singing about how they met and fell in love to the song Hallelujah with the guests joining in on the chorus... so fun and creative! I also loved that they wrote each other letters about why they fell in love and locked it in a box for them to read on their 10 year anniversary (or if they are having conflict in their marriage as a reminder). I haven't seen this often and it's something I also did at my wedding... our's is still locked in the box and Bree and Anothony's wedding was also my 6 year anniversary! I was so happy to share my anniversary with this amazing couple at such a beautiful location. Bree did an amazing job with every detail. A lot of well spent time on Pinterest! On day 2 at The Service Station it was all about having a good time. Anthony's rock band from Young Life, Panda-moan-e-um, played for the crowd and started the party. There was tons of talent here between his entire band to a beat boxer and a solo-artist who wrote a song for Bree, and not to mention the guests singing and dancing.
Day 2: 
Do you notice the heart shadow someone is making... had no idea until I looked back through the photos!
The slideshow below is of their wedding vow ceremony day. I put this together the night of/morning after, so it could be played at their reception the following day! Check it out...
Leah and Michael were married at Central Lutheran Church with a reception at The Davenport Hotel on July 26th. Planning the wedding from across the state and there were no details missed! Amazing day! Leah planned a big surprise for Michael with Butch T. Cougar (WSU mascot) arriving to start the party off. He stayed and danced with the crowd and posed for pictures. I haven't seen a mascot at a wedding before, that was a first! This was a fun party and a true celebration of a couple uniting! Leah and Michael's honeymoon this week is traveling to Yale University to start their next journey, congrats!!!
Charla and Bill held there wedding at the beautiful Clark House in Hayden Lake, ID on July 14th. An early afternoon wedding followed by lunch surrounded by their closest friends. Charla and Bill have a fun story... they met 7 years ago walking their dogs, but when their dogs decided not to get along at the park they decided to just wave at each other from afar. Years went by and they both wondered about the other. A year ago they met again in a gym class and now they are husband and wife! It's funny how things work out.

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.

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!
