Hey guys I had a great time shooting and spending some time goofing around with you guys!!  We will have to make sure that Jamie has no leafs to throw at you on your wedding day!!

Courtney and Joel were married at Beacon Hill this past weekend…it did sprinkle on us a bit during the photos but not enough to make us go inside!!   I had such a fun time at your wedding shooting photos and hanging out!!  I hope you guys enjoy this preview!!

It has been a year since I had the pleasure of shooting Jamie & Matt’s wedding…during that time they have become some great friends and I have seen them along the way at many of their friends and family’s weddings.  I took these two up to the Vista House on the top of Mt. Spokane to shoot with them since we ran out of light on their wedding day …this place is very special to these two because it is the spot that Matt proposed   The sun was shinning but the temp was cold it was only about 18 degrees with some wind but these two braved the elements and we had a great time shooting!!  Hope you guys enjoy and keep your friendship and relationship with each other strong!!  Its been great getting to know you guys and I look forward to spending more time with you two!!

I had such a great time shooting this engagement session with Shayla and Jeremy…they are getting married in Maui in a couple weeks.  We had such a great time shooting around Mirabeau Park and we also were blessed with an amazing sunset to finish the evening off!!  Have a great time in Maui you guys!!

I was blessed to be able to shoot Taylor and Dustin wedding at her Dad’s house.  His house made a wonderful backdrop for the wedding ceremony and reception.  I spent my time shooting the bride and groom in downtown Spokane.  We were going for an urban look and I think we accomplished that!  Taylor and Dustin you guys were sooo great and willing to do whatever I asked of you…thanks so much for letting me capture your day!!

Shari and Garrett had their wedding at Touch Of Country the weather could not have been better and the venue was incredible.  I had the pleasure of shooting Shari’s brother Matt’s wedding almost a year ago…so coming to this wedding was kind of like going to a family reunion!!  I love when everyone knows you and you feel like a part of the family!!  Jeff Keen was the DJ and was entertaining as always!!  I had such a great time shooting and spending time with everyone!! 

I had the great pleasure of packing up the family for work and vacation to the nations Capitol for the 4th of July to shoot Renee and Brian’s wedding on the 3rd of July and then enjoy the fireworks from the Potomac River on the 4th what a site! !  The day of the wedding was a bit rainy we did go shoot photos in the rain but it made for a tougher time of things!!  Renee and Brian were married at a very small ceremony with just their family members and then met everyone at the reception hall later!!  It was all in all a great wedding day.  The fireworks show from the Potomac River was amazing we had a front row seat on top of this cool boat for the show…this was truly a once in a lifetime trip and show!!

Baby William Solomon Gage was born 3 week ago!!  I don’t usually make house calls for baby photos but sometimes it is easier than having them come to the studio when they are soo young.  I have had the pleasure to become great friends with Trevor and Lauren since I had the pleasure to shoot their wedding 3 years ago!!  Congrats Trevor and Lauren on your cute little boy I look foward to watching him grow up into a wonderful young man!!

After hearing the story of these two from all their friends at the wedding its not wonder these guys really love and cherish each other!! Danielle and “Izzy” got married at St. Marks Church we took photos at Manito Park before the wedding and the rain!!  We had an all around great day and had such a great time capturing images of you guys on your wedding day!!  The reception was held at The Lincoln Center, Catering was done by Puting on the Ritz and Todd with Music Maker did a great job as the DJ!
