Another one of my sweet Wedding Giveaway Winners…Congrats, Sarah & Allen!!!

I had so much fun photographing these two.  They are rays of sunshine and I can’t help but smile and laugh when I’m around them.  Can’t you tell by their smile.  I am so excited to photograph their wedding on July 21st at their friends’ barn.  Congratulations to both of you!  Enjoy your Feature and Consider Yourselves Loved…

This gal is the sister of one of my favorite couples from a couple years back – THIS wedding.  She called me up to let me know that she was coming to Boise and wanted her engagement photographs done downtown and in McCall.  I was so excited for their session – first of all, isn’t Tiffany stunning???  And of course she was gonna catch a gorgeous guy, too!  What better combo for great photographs?  Also – Tiffany really put a lot of thought into what they wore for their session.  They changed a few times and it added to their photographs by giving them such a variety.  Thanks, Tiffany & Matt, for letting me photograph you two!  It was like I was photographing a couple of real-live models .  Enjoy your feature and Consider Yourselves Loved…

I was so bummed to not have been able to attend The Wedding Party Show as a vendor this year, but after dropping off Lauren & Zach Douty’s wedding album to the Wine River Cellars’ Booth, I realized that there were so many great vendors to choose from!  I wished I could have actually hung out a bit and taste some of the yummy meatballs and other appetizers!!!  Anyway – I hope you Lovebirds had a fantastic time at the show – The Green Book is a WONDERFUL resource for all of your local wedding needs – they also put on a great show!

Also – check me out in the Green Book for Ashki Photography images.  I always feel like a High School Girl who’s looking through her yearbook to see how many times she appeared…hehee…

This wedding was absolutely amazing.  I’ve never shot at Wood River Cellars in Eagle, ID, but the setting was amazing.  It was DEFINITELY one of my favorite places ever to photograph!  And their bridal suite is just as impressive!!!  Never mind the fact that Lauren and Zach are beautiful!

I photographed their engagement photographs a few short months ago and despite mosquitoes and impending thunder storms, we got some incredible shots.  Wouldn’t you know it, the day this wedding took place it was even more beautiful!  God’s very own softbox was out (a few thin clouds) and the temperature was absolutely perfect!  Just such a beautiful day, indeed!!!

The ceremony was beautiful…I even shed a few tears (I’m a tad emotional).  The thing that struck me the most was the song that the bride walked down the aisle, “Pure Bride” by Leeland.  It was so moving – and it was so perfectly timed.  Man…I really love weddings.

Thank you, Lauren & Zach, for allowing me to be a part of your incredible day.  I feel honored that you chose me to photograph your wedding.  Enjoy your Feature and Consider Yourselves Loved…

Man oh MAN!  How I LOOOOOVE a good wedding .  I had so much fun at this wedding – and boy – these people really know how to party.  Our day started at 1:30 in the afternoon and didn’t end until almost midnight!  The night was full of beautiful moments, toasts, dancing, amazing food and was absolutely seamless.

I photographed Ruby and Jeff’s engagement photographs in January and knew that I was a lucky girl that they chose me to photograph their wedding.

Thank you to everyone who made Ruby and Jeff’s day absolutely wonderful!  Enjoy your feature, Mr. and Mrs. Redshaw, and Consider Yourselves Loved…

A cheer for the bride!

Ruby & Jeff wrote letters to eachother to open before they saw eachother <3

“And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”

Genesis 9:12-13

I just love this verse.  The rainbow is such an AMAZING promise!  How cool is it that one of my wedding clients for this year got to experience the rainbow in their own engagement session?  Soooo cool!

Meet Lauren and Zach.  Such a darned sweet couple.  Beautiful, both inside and out.  So – funny inside story – when I first met Lauren and Zach, my son and hubby were still at the house, getting ready to leave, but Julius kept begging me for attention tell me that he wanted cheese crackers.  I was feeling sooo frazzled and mentioned this to them, and Lauren, bless her heart, said “If it makes you feel any better, I already like you.”  Thanks, Lauren.  You rock .

I can’t wait to photograph your wedding.  I am so happy for both of you.  Enjoy your feature and consider yourselves loved…

What a wonderful time I had last weekend .  I photographed this beautiful couple for their engagement session just a few short weeks ago (check out the link HERE)…my, oh my, how time flies!!!  It was so wonderful to see all of Katie & James’ friends and family in such support of them.

Katie and James are artistic.  If the wedding decor & style don’t tell you that, I don’t know what would!  I loved how much personality and thought they put into every little detail…right down to the chandelier at the altar.  How cool is that???

Thank you,  Katie and James. I am so blessed to have been able to witness your guys’ unity – thanks so much for letting me capture your love through my lens.  Enjoy your feature and Consider Yourselves Loved…

I love this - they placed chairs (mine!) and a table under the chandelier to represent the beginning of their own home...so sweet.

This kid was such a HAM!!! He was crackin' me up the whole night...

My gracious, this session was fun.  REALLY fun!!!  These guys were up for letting me think outside the box.  They were up for whatever I wanted to do.  So, do you know what?  I had a heyday!!!  I even whipped out my fisheye for some of them! Love me some Fisheye .  They even chose a fisheye photo for their wedding invitations.  How cool is that???

Katie and James…you guys rock.  You are so in love, so super fabulous, so fun…soooo cute .  Thank you for letting me be a part of your engagement and soon – a part of your wedding!  YAY!  Congratulations to the two of you & Consider Yourselves Loved…
