Sarah & Tyler | Spokane Engagement | Riverfront Park & Downtown Spokane

Since Sarah was going school in Spokane, we decided to go there to shoot their engagement photos (we flew ourselves!). We walked throughout Riverfront Park capturing photos and video. (We use the video for the wedding movie — it's a great way to show them outside the wedding day.) They are a perfect couple — they play off of each other so well that it is easy to get photos of them laughing and smiling. (Thanks for making it easy on us!)  The Spokane River was really high, so when taking photos on one of the bridges, we were getting water sprayed on us (and our lenses)! But it was worth it since it allowed for some great photos. We got some awesome photos of them around the Radio Flyer Wagon, the clock tower, and across from the Opera House.

We headed over to capture them riding the carousel; that turned out to be tons of fun — we got some great photos and awesome footage. We look forward to spending more time with Sarah and Tyler at their wedding in July.

Marie & Todd | Yakima Wedding | Capitol Theatre & DeAtley Estate

Marie and Todd had a wonderfully unique wedding in Yakima, Washington. They started their day getting ready at a hotel in downtown Yakima. Next they moved to the Capitol Theatre for portraits — we had the theater to ourselves! To transport the wedding party, they rented the Yakima Trolly to get to the Central Lutheran Church for the ceremony. This was a beautiful church with lots of stained glass and open space.  The bride's father played violin during the ceremony — how sweet! They piled into the trolly again to reach a gigantic private home overlooking most of Yakima — the DeAtley Estate. Many guests embraced the 1920's theme, wearing era hats and dresses. The atmosphere of the location and live music all contributed to the feel of a different era. A truly amazing and memorable wedding!
