Andrew & Gemmina // Spokane Wedding

This pretty lady has been second shooting weddings with me for 3 years now. Not to have her by my side for her own wedding was somewhat strange. I kept wanting to ask her for things...but she was THE BRIDE! I'm so happy for these two lovebirds & so freaking blessed to have had the pleasure of capturing their wedding day.

 

Nick & Shelby // Spokane Engagement

What if you met someone...you fell in love...and you asked them to spend the rest of their life with you? Well that is exactly what happens, and somehow I get the extreme privilege of capturing it. That is making me so happy right now. I can't even handle it.

 

Brett & Heather // Coeur d'Alene Wedding

Some weddings have everything going for them from the very beginning. This one started with a basset hound named Kaylee Sue, some beautiful details and a relaxed and beautiful bride. The chances of perfection were high...and it just got better!

Loved this perfect little winter wedding. Congrats Brett & Heather

 

Andrew & Alisa // Spokane Wedding

To say their wedding was special would be an understatement. This blog isn't long enough for me to share with you this couple's story or the incredible & painful journey they went on before meeting one another. So, I'll have to let the pictures do some talking. Their emotion packed wedding was one of my favorites...and not just because I'm related to the groom. It would have been even if I wasn't. I am SO beyond proud of these two, excited for their marriage & honored to have been a part of their incredible day.

Love them and their little girls to pieces. What a precious family you have created!

 

Jake & Mackenzie // Spokane Engagement

This engagement session did not go as planned. Let's just say, some poor planning (and thinking) on Mackenzie & I's side of things made it quite the adventure. The best part is...it didn't matter. We had a blast & made our "whoops" moment into a fabulous one! I love it when things don't go as planned. Cause this happens...

 

Chris & Allie // Spokane Wedding

I don't think I have EVER prayed this much about weather. Allie wanted snow. Problem was...Spokane seemed to be out of snow & just wanted to rain. The whole week, nothing but rain. So I prayed. I prayed there would be so much snow that it would make the city white again & it would last until pictures ended. Oh boy did God deliver. A winter wonderland DOWNPOUR. Allie & I relished in the cold & wet because we knew it was a miracle. Chris...well...Chris was distracted by his beautiful bride. At least enough to forget that we were torturing him in the weather. 

LOVED THIS WEDDING.

 

Eric & Amanda // Spokane Wedding

It's possible that I am bias because I'm related to this stunning bride, but this wedding was just so gorgeous...so well put together...& so much stinking fun. If you're looking to hire someone who can turn the vision of your day into reality,  contact "Exquisite" for your wedding planning needs (cindyopland@hotmail.com).
