Some of my awesome photographer buddies and I did a little shootout the other night. These two were scouted by a brave and feisty friend (I won’t name names) in Target of all places! They’re getting married in June and agreed to let us shoot them. They are adorable, sweet, and troopers for putting up with the cold windy hilltop for us! Thanks guys!

Here’s a look at a cozy little engagement session I just did.  These two were troopers putting up with the cold and wind.  I just loved working with them, such a beautiful couple!  I can’t get over her gorgeous hair and that windblown look!!!  I just love it!

This was such a fun session!!  I just love silly, outgoing, carefree clients that aren’t afraid to have fun and feel goofy!  I’m excited for their wedding this Fall… I know it will be a great day.

What a gorgeous day this was!  I remember meeting with the bride and talking about how we wished there was snow on the ground the day of her wedding.  Our wish came true!  Not only was there a beautiful dusting of snow, there was amazing sunshine that I was drooling over.  You’d never know it by these photos (ok maybe you will) but it was a whopping 7 degrees outside when we were shooting!!  THE coldest wedding I’ve ever done for sure!  No complaints though, everyone was such troopers and so nice and patient with me.  I couldn’t have asked for a better day or a more stunning couple!

I usually don’t post too many family portraits from weddings but I thought a few deserved to be shown since they froze their toes off to get them!  Congratulations to both families and thank you thank you for having me!

So, right before Christmas my brother in law set it up with me to take some photos of him and his girlfriend. We started out just taking some photos for their Christmas cards… little did she know that he had planned to propose and have me capture it!! It went perfectly and she had no idea!  I love how these turned out and I’m so happy to have a sister in law

Here’s a peak at a fun and cold engagement session up at Camels Back!  These guys were so fun to work with and such troopers in the cold weather (I was a wimp).  I can’t wait for their wedding!

I’m so excited to have met these two!  Sometimes you meet with people and just hit it off for whatever reason.  That’s what happened when I met Cory and Jessica for the first time.  I just knew we’d work so well together!  This session is only part one of their engagement photos.  We ended up shooting on a gloomy drizzly day and decided that we need to do another session on a beautiful sunny day…. we all know how much I LOVE sunlight in my photos .  So, for now here’s this gorgeous couple roughin’ it with me in the rain.  I can’t wait for their wedding next year, I know it will be a blast!!!

This was my final wedding of the year and I must say it was awesome!  I am sooooo in love with the location!!!!!  The wedding was held in Ontario, OR at an amazing home built in 1919.  It was just the perfect place for a wedding.  I loved how unique it was with the old home, the antiques, the amazing details, and the Halloween colors.  I love shooting weddings that have a little something different than the norm.  We had perfect fall weather and everything went just great all day.  I’m happy to have been able to document such a special day for Darren, Tennille and their lovely families!  Congratulations guys and thank you so much!  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from the day…

Oh I just loved this wedding!!!  We ended up having such perfect weather and I was soooooo happy with the gorgeous light in the evening!  Jess, Matt and their families really made the day such a breeze.  I know I say it a lot but everyone truly was so nice and helpful to me.  I think the only “issue” that we had all day was we were a little behind schedule (not surprising ).

This wedding was held at Carmela Vineyards in Glenns Ferry.  It’s such a beautiful location and just over an hour drive from Boise.  Surprisingly I’d never heard of it until I booked this wedding!  I’ll definitely be making another trip out there to try their wine and restaurant.  If you like wine and road trips you should go out there!  So, I had a hard time narrowing down photos to share…. it’s becoming quite the norm around here.  Here are some of my absolute favorites from the day!  Enjoy!

This is a wedding I was looking forward to ever since I met the bride and groom.  We got a long so well and had such a great time working together during their engagement photos… I just knew we were meant to work together.  Some of you may have heard the disaster that happened with Century Hall and Gardens, if you haven’t you can read about it here.  I heard about what had happened to those poor couples on the radio and decided I would call and see if anyone still needed a photographer.  I felt so bad that these people had to go through such a horrible time during what should be the happiest time in their lives… I decided to donate my services to one lucky couple.  Turns out Lacey and Ricardo still needed a photographer, they contacted me and somehow I just happened to have the only date that their new venue was available open!  It all worked out, must have been meant to be!  This was SUCH a fantastic wedding!!  Everyone did such a great job helping decorate and set up, I loved every detail.  The wedding was held at Alpine Ponds Event Center, one of my new favorite venues.  The stunning cake was created by the talented Annie of Miss Ellies Cakes.  I’m so happy I was able to be a part of such a beautiful special day for another couple!  Enjoy this sneak peek… it’s a long one I couldn’t help it!!
