We met Stephinee and Kyle at an orchard in Kennewick where Kyle works. The orchard offered amazing opportunities to get shots of them having fun together. They both had great, natural smiles the entire time. Then we sped over to the Columbia Park to shoot some more photos along the river before the sun set completely. The light was starting to reach the perfect "golden hour," so the photos of them looked great. We were really glad that they were willing to try anything — from goofy poses to climbing on playground equipment. We are sad that we couldn't shoot their wedding since we already had that day booked!
Alys & Robert | Richland Wedding | Christ the King Church & Meadow Springs
Alys & Robert had a sweet spring wedding. The ceremony was Christ the King church in Richland, WA. We loved her bouquet; peonies have always been one of our favorites. We convinced them to stop on the way to the reception for fun shots on some railroad tracks. The reception at Meadow Springs Golf Course makes for beautiful photos any time of the year, but they always have tons of spring flowers. With lots of green grass and several cute bridges over the streams, we had many options to choose from. Alys and her dad had a particularly great choreographed father-daughter dance —lots of fun!
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.
