Austin & Macey // Spokane Engagement

Our love stories are so very different. They vary in time, age & accounts. Some are easy, some take work. Some come with baggage, others ease into it like it was what they were always meant for. Often there is one or two (or more) before we find the one that captures our heart forever. And sometimes..."there is one we never saw coming, one that will last, one that shows us why it never worked out before. And it's that possibility that makes trying again worthwhile, because the truth is, you never know when you'll stumble into love."

For this sweet couple, their stories before each other play into who they are now. Macey shared this beautiful story & quote with me as we drove around getting to know each other & taking beautiful photos. I love love loved our time together. What an adorable pair they are.

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

 

Europe // Iceland

I finally had time to edit my favorite place we went on our trip this summer. Stop #4 was Iceland...and it was crazy cool. Probably the only place we went that I already desperately want to get back to. Every hour we drove was like stepping onto another planet. It made me stand in utter awe at the world God created & blessed that I to get to set foot in it. Iceland was by far my favorite. Enjoy.

 

Europe // Paris

I bet you thought I forgot to blog the rest of our Europe trip didn't you?! Well surprise there's more! And the last one will be the best...so don't forget to check back for Iceland.

Stop #3 was Paris. I don't even feel like it needs an explanation. What you think Paris will be like in your head...is exactly what it is. Beautiful, big, perfectly manicured, historic & people everywhere. One thing should be noted; my favorite spot/day in France (which you will see below) was actually NOT in Paris. It was our bike tour through Versailles. Incredible history & imagery.

 

Europe // Norway

More pictures from our trip to Europe. Stop #2 was Norway! This was a much different experience from London. We spent most of our time on the small & beautiful island of Flekkerøy & stayed with a family who hosted, fed & spoiled us rotten. We all felt like we got a true taste of their day to day life. Favorite moments of Norway...

-Sheep. I love them. They made me smile so big.

-Crab fishing. We went at midnight on our last night & it was the most hilarious, nerve wracking & wonderful memory I took away from Norway

-The family we stayed with. So blessed by them & their kids.

 

Eric & Cami // Anniversary Session

Our dear friends Whitney & Bethany (Glass Jar Photography) are stupid good at what they do. They blessed our socks off by giving Eric & I the most romantic 10 year wedding anniversary session while we were all in France.

Seriously love this man...these photos...& my crazy talented friends. Cheers to the best 10 years of my life & many many more to come.

 

Jake & Mackenzie // Spokane Wedding

I've had the privilege of mentoring this young lady since she was in 6th grade...and have been praying for her future husband since then as well. Watching her fall in love with this amazing man was so surreal for me. I love them both so so much & am so grateful to have been a part of their wedding in such a special way.

 

Europe // London

Several weeks ago my husband & two of our friends (one of them who happens to be my band mate) took an epic trip to Europe. The first of our four stops was London. I have been dying to share with you some images & stories from our trip. The easiest way to do this...is through this handy blog of mine. So, if you have the time & feel like exploring the world a bit with me...have a looksie.

It doesn't hurt that all of us are photographers & happened to have our cameras with us at all times. Thanks to Whitney & Bethany (Glass Jar Photography) for taking the pics I'm in (cause I am definitely not talented enough to take pics of that caliber of myself). Props to them (and us) to capturing this trip in such a special way.

So here is Part I - LONDON ENGLAND

Whitney & Bethany // Paris Anniversary Shoot

The sun was setting fast on our last night in Paris. I had been begging Whit & Bethany the whole trip to let me take a few pics of them. They happily celebrated 6 years of marriage in April, are fantastic photographers themselves & yet...have almost zero professional pics together. So I finally convinced (or coerced) them into a 15min session in the city of love. Who wouldn't want to take pics of their adorable faces?!

 

Robby & Dani // Spokane Wedding

It's wedding season. I barely have time to breathe let alone blog.

Yet here I am staying up late, to show you even a few of these images from my beautiful cousins wedding. Because...I simply can't get enough of these two. Such sweet love. So worth no sleep.
