Matthew & Liz

When a groom is so in love with his bride that it shows all over his face, leaks into his every move & is written between ever word he speaks...it makes my job easy. I didn't have to say or do anything with these two. They are just in love. Even though it was 100 degrees out...I would do this day over again because of how adorable they were. 

 
 

Wes & Ashley

My oh my, this wedding was pretty much as perfect as you can get. As you will see...every second of the day was thought through with care. The ceremony timed perfectly to the best sunlight, the details laid out with care and the bride & groom desperately in love. This bride should get married for a living. It was THAT GOOD. Small, intimate & beautiful...

I love love loved every second. 

 

Nathan & Grace // Spokane Wedding

Once long ago there was this cute little red-headed kid who toddled around next door to me. His sister was my best friend & for many reasons, I was forever connected to his wonderful family & considered him a brother to me. That little boy grew up a little & started playing music. He was so very talented & gifted. I watched him learn & thrive as a worship leader in a small setting & then in bigger ones...until the day he became a Life Center intern, under my husband & I. These were some of my favorite years, watching him do what he was made to do & getting to be a part of them. This is also the time I started praying...for someone special to rock his world.

Then this girl came along (well really, she had been there all along). She was adorable of course, but beyond that she was kind & funny. Most importantly, she loved him & thought he was special. I'm not even kidding you, my prayers for "that girl" turned into prayers of "Grace". That little red-headed boy was now a man & had found someone special. 

Because of this...being a part of their wedding filled my heart with more joy than you can imagine. Capturing these images was one of the best things I've ever gotten to do. I love you Nathan & Grace, I believe in your marriage & I'm so proud of who you are together. 

Zach & Emily // Spokane Wedding

This sweet sweet couple...Oh how I loved them & this special day. Emily reminds me of a porcelain doll and is the sweetest & most genuine gal. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her a bit through this process & also getting to be a part of the love that her & Zach have for each other. My job is so fun!

Winter weddings are guaranteed to have one thing...cold. So of course, weather was a concern as was the cold. But this bride & groom didn't complain once & were so genuine about wanting to let me "do my thing" to get good pictures even if that meant them freezing their butts off. I am so glad they were up for the adventure...it was well worth it.

Will & Cassidy // Spokane Wedding

This groom made me so emotional..UG...I hate being emotional. But I couldn't help it with this one. The love Will has for his bride and the way he expressed it throughout the day was so beautiful and sweet. And then there was the fact that the light was gorgeous. Needless to say, this girl (aka ME) was a rollercoaster of excitement and emotion during this wedding. Boy oh boy. 

Spokane will miss you Will & Cassidy.

Marc & Abbie // Oregon Wedding

I have been dying to post this wedding since the second the images appeared in my camera. 
I LOVED this day so much. Here are some reasons why... 

the genuine emotion from the groom
the beauty (inside & out) from the bride
the stunning location
the sweetest family (although I'm a bit biased)
the sincere ceremony

...all these reasons made me wish it would never end. But luckily it did, otherwise I would never have the joy of editing these images and sharing them with you. So phew!

Sam & Jordan //Spokane Wedding

My grin could not be suppressed during this couples wedding. I absolutely adore them.

When Jordan & I sat down months ago to discuss what she wanted for her wedding day, she said, "I trust you". Those are words every photographer wants to hear. I was given freedom to capture who they were (which if you don't know them...is a bundle of fun & craziness) in my own way & with my own creativity. Because of that...and who they are to me...these images are so dear to my heart.  Welcome to the married club!
