Its Wedding Season AGAIN! Brianne & Marcus are Engaged

What a beautiful sunny day in May for an engagement shoot! Manito Park in Spokane WA is one of my favorite places to shoot. This was the first time I have ever shot inside the Greenhouse though :)  It was beautiful!

These two love birds were so fun to work with, if you know these two, tell them how much you love their engagement photos.

Devon and Brooke say "I do" at the Spokane Convention Center Terrace

What a beautiful day for a wedding by the Spokane River. Devon and Brooke said "I do" on July 19th 2015, at the Spokane Convention Center Terrace. One of the hottest days of the summer, but that sure didn't faze the beautiful couple! The building is beautiful and we took advantage of the wall of windows by the river. 

This couple was so fun, their wedding cake topper was a hilarious football bride and groom and their wedding colors were green and yellow! Any cheeseheads reading this? :)

CONGRATULATIONS MR. & MRS. COMER!!

 

Genna & Colby say "I do" Eastern Washington wedding

These two are one of my newest favorite couples! Simple, sweet and seriously in love!

Genna and Colby met me in a field in Kettle Falls Washington for a "First Look Session". For those of you thinking about doing a first look, I highly recommend it! It's a private setting, just you and me.... I capture the incredible moment of you and your fiancé seeing each other for the first time all dressed up. Usually this session is the day of your wedding, way before guests arrive. In this case, Genna and Colby didn't have a lot of time on the day of their wedding to squeeze in a "First Look" so we went ahead and did it 2 days before their actual wedding. It was perfect, I almost think this is the way to do it! We had so much uninterrupted time to really focus on them and their deep connection. It was a beautiful night walking through gorgeous fields, into the forest, and even down to the water front at Lake Roosevelt. More brides should do this :)

A few days after the "first look session", Genna and Colby said "I do" at the LDS Temple in Spokane Valley, Washington; they made their way up to Chewelah Washington for some fun photos with the bridal party in the country, THEN we headed to our final destination of Colby's parents home in Arden Washington for the ring ceremony and reception. I am so excited and blessed to have met such a wonderful young couple, here are a few of my favorites of these love birds!
