From the first time I met Kimber & Jonathan (& William!) I knew they were an incredible couple. That was an understatement. These two are amazing. Not only are the both beautful on the outside (ANTM Kimber!), they’re both people of deep substance. They both love to laugh with each other. They’re both great parents. They both love each other a ton.
They’ve actually been married a while but this was their big wedding since the one before was right before Jonathan went off to fight for our country. Their wedding took place at beautiful Beacon Hill in Spokane. I had a blast shooting there. So much to be creative with. Of course the water drew me near for photos—a little too near. You’ll notice the shot of my foot (as well as the shot of them laughing at my misfortune). Fortunately it was a hot day & my foot dried fast enough.
Big thanks again to Eric Strate for lending his shooting skills for the day.

Nice work – you have a real eye for composition and you captured some classic moments. (Groom wiping the brides mouth ! lol)
Looks like they turned out great Matt! This one was definitely a blast to be helping out at – I’ll remember some of those moments (like the Marines doing the twist) for the rest of my life. And I can reiterate a point you’ve made many times – you do get awesome clients!
