This Lavender Manor wedding kicked off on July 25. If you know me, you know I was thrilled the second Sammie told me “we are so bad at taking photos.” That’s basically my favorite sentence to hear from a couple. It means I get to do what I love most: catch them being themselves instead […]
As a maternity session photographer Spokane couples come back to for real, unposed moments, I have to say this one was especially fun — by the time Aeriell was about 35 weeks along, I’d already been with her and Sam for their elopement at Farragut and the afternoon we found out Yumi-ko was a girl. […]
Aeriell is one of my best friends — we met in a photography Facebook group back in August 2024. Our connection turned into a real friendship fast. So when she and Sam decided to elope, there was no version of that day I wasn’t going to be a part of. Why Farragut State Park Lake […]
Natalie wanted flowers everywhere for this session, and once I knew why, it made perfect sense: she and Caden are naming their daughter Violet. So a maternity session at The Glasshouse on Monroe — forty acres of gardens, greenhouses, and wildflower fields outside Spokane — wasn’t just a pretty backdrop. In fact, it was the […]
There’s a moment early in every couple’s wedding-planning conversation where someone asks: are you going to do a first look? It seems like a small logistical question. It’s not. The first look vs. traditional reveal decision shapes your entire timeline, what your day feels like, and what kind of photos you end up with. It’s […]
One of the most common questions I get from newly engaged couples is where to find good engagement session locations near Spokane. My honest answer: almost anywhere can work if the timing is right and the couple is comfortable, but some spots consistently deliver something special — good light, breathing room, and enough variety that […]
Maya and Kyle’s Mukogawa Fort Wright wedding happened on June 20, 2026, at what’s officially named Mukogawa U.S. Campus in Spokane, with the ceremony under the Arbor and the reception in Tsutakawa Memorial Hall. Twelve years together, a proposal they’d both seen coming, and a day built entirely out of personal touches. This is exactly […]
There’s something really special about a couple who chooses their venue not just because it made logistical sense, but because it already meant something. Q’emlin Park has been a part of Ari and Jarred’s story since early on — she’d hiked and paddleboarded here long before they met, and somewhere between their first few dates, […]
Gabby and Eric got married at Beacon Hill in Spokane on September 14, 2025 — and as a Spokane documentary wedding photographer, days like this one are exactly why I do this work. Seven years together. A proposal on a nature walk with their two dogs. A bride wearing her grandmother’s garter. And two people […]
Tristan and Wyatt got married on May 30, 2026, at Schmidt Cattle Co. Events in Mead, Washington. As a Spokane documentary wedding photographer, I live for days like this one — 116 acres of open ranch land, Mt. Spokane on the horizon, and two people who were completely, genuinely themselves all day long. How They […]
