Disclosure: In the photography industry there’s been some recent controversy about photographers hiring models & staging weddings then posting them as actual weddings. So I feel like I have to explicitly say: These are real people, not models. I know you’ll look at them & think otherwise, but I assure you Tiana & Matt are an actual couple who are absolutely in love & hired me to shoot their wedding.

I’m thrilled to finally be able to post photos from this wedding that took place a mile down the road from my house in the backyard of Tiana’s mom’s Spokane Valley home. I spent an entire day being surrounded by some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. The day went off without a hitch &  everything about the day was amazing. Thank you Tiana & Matt for the opportunity to photograph your wedding.

In addition to being one of the most beautiful brides ever & a total sweetie, Tiana’s an amazing hairstylist. She just gave new back-to-school haircuts to all the female members of the family & they all LOVE them. You should call her if you need something new.

I’m thrilled to post photos from Andrea & Brice’s wedding that took place on Brice’s parents property in Spokane Valley, Washington. It was a beautiful day & there were only a few threats of unfriendly weather (which delayed the ceremony a few minutes). It was so much fun to photograph every part of the day. I’m still convinced Brice’s dad met with photographers while designing the house because it had so many interesting angles & features that were a blast for me to play with.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt the bride & I both share appreciation for the world’s greatest band, Radiohead.

Everyone was so pleasant. Not that I was surprised about that since we’ve known Brice’s family for a while now. Even still, it always amazes me when everybody involved with a wedding is so gracious even when their stress levels may be peaking, & they have every reason not to. Yet another reason why I love being a wedding photographer.

Thanks Andrea & Brice for letting me hang out with you guys on your wedding day & letting me take some great—hopefully—photos.
