Last weekend Hallie, Lee Roy & I set out around downtown Spokane to get some portraits for their engagements. These two were so easy to take pictures of that I could have shot them for the entire day—if it didn’t get windy & cold so quickly.
One of the best parts of an engagement session is getting to know the couples whom I ‘ll be photographing on their wedding day & to get those “in front of the camera” jitters out of the way. As you can probably tell, there weren’t too many jitters and we went straight away in to getting great photos. It seemed like we were buds instantly.
I had a blast with these guys. I don’t think we stopped laughing for the entire session. In fact I’d say the only time they weren’t cracking up was when I was forcing them to show their more romantic side (of course, I didn’t have to force them too much).
I can’t wait to shoot their wedding day. I have no doubt it will be an outstanding & beautiful wedding.
Many, many thanks to H + L for trusting me with their special day.

Great work, Matt! I wouldn’t change a thing!
Nice work dude. Love your style! I really like your B&W shots.
I’m even MORE excited for me and Justin’s upcoming engagement photos! Can’t wait!! BTW – your bonus question on another page about the background design on your website…it’s your logo (your initials) rotated 4 times in a circle…I love it – very creative!
I love the B&W picture of them kissing! That first shot with them on the bridge is also amazing!
Beautiful work Matt. I love the intimacy you captured with the couple and the portraits of the bride are excellent; so full of life.
Thanks all.
@Nicole-We’ll have a blast—guaranteed! You nailed it about the background. :)
Super creative focus and use of light. Wicked shoot.
These are really fantastic, I love the tones. You can really see their love and happiness!
