James & Lindsey - Trash The Dress (TTD) - Idaho Photographer

Wow!  This couple is absolutely stunning and was so much fun to work with.  James & Lindsey picked a location that I absolutely adore...the cliffs!  It complements Lindsey's coloring perfectly.  We had some great help from some of my other clients.  Thanks Tonya and Mikayla!!!!!!  They drove us all around on their 4 wheelers so we could get the amazing shots we got. They even let James & Lindsey get a chance to drive around a bit.  Our other location was a beautiful waterfall.  Enjoy these Trash the Dress photos.  No dress was completely harmed in the making of these images :)

kassi + herbert - wedding in kauai, hawaii - idaho photographer

ahhhhh!  doesn't this look like the perfect place to get married?  I think it was :)  Here is Kassi + Herbert about 15 minutes after they got married right on the beach in Kauai, Hawaii.

Now that's it's winter and things aren't so crazy at the studio like they are when the weather is warm, I wanted to show off some photos from Kortnee and Eric's honeymoon session (aka Trash the Dress TTD).  I totally envisioned Kortnee and Eric at the sand dunes because of Kortnee's coloring and their wedding colors.  I think these turned out perfect...let me know what you guys think. Leave us some comments!   I always love the TTD session because we aren't constrained by the timeline of the wedding day and the couple can relax and we can get great portraits! 

Wow....I LOVE this shot!

Here is one of Kassi and Herbert from their Trash the Dress Session at Hanalei Bay in Kauai, Hawaii.  Right after this shot, they jumped off the pier.

sam + john | 12.20.08 | willard arts center

Winter Wonderlandness!!!  That's how I would describe Sam and John's December wedding.  They had it at a local art gallery, The Willard Arts Center, and it was such a great spot to have a wedding.  Sam looked so elegant and John so handsome.  They seemed perfect for each other and everyone else thought so too.  While it was soooooooo cold outside (when Alex, my assistant, and I got in the car that night my temperature gauge read ZERO!), everyone was so warm and cozy inside celebrating with Sam and John.  They had some amazing vendors for their wedding too.  They used  Floral Art for their flowers and Rutabaga's for their caterer.  Of course Tyler Brooks from A&B Productions was there too.  I don't know who made their cool cake though.  If anyone does know...please let me know! 

Here are some of the gorgeous photos...if I do say so myself :)  I think this might be my longest blog post ever too.  Go me!

They even had a Christmas tree decorated with these ornaments with their names and date.

I think this is my favorite of Sam!

Sam had the great custom shoes made for her.  Aren't they sexy?

Everyone kept telling Preston to smile with his cheeks!  Here's that smile.  Isn't he adorable?

 

Sam's mom didn't get to see Sam walk down the stairs and she told me this was such an important moment for her.  I think this look between Sam and her dad tells such a little story.

 

amanda + colby | rose river receptions | 06.28.08 | part 1

Wow..this year has been such a whirlwind.  Is it December already?  I don't know if Santa is going to visit me this year since I have been a bad, bad blogger.  But, I am ready to start being a good blogger.  I am going to start off by blogging some of our weddings from this summer. 

Today's images are the getting ready images from a beautiful wedding I photographed in June. It was at the beautiful Rose River Receptions in Blackfoot, Idaho.  Amanda + Colby had a perfect day.  I don't remember there even being a breeze in the air.  And, we were all a little nervous too since at Amanda's sister's wedding we were all biting our nails hoping the storm would pass.  And, of course, it did.  Anyway...on to the images.....

my take on TTD and American Gothic

Here's a twist.  With all of the popularity of TTD (Trash the Dress) sessions and still trying to keep things somewhat timeless a la the painting American Gothic....here's my take:

Cassi & Sean's Trash the Dress Session

 

Kristy + Codi | 09.20.08 | Rose River Receptions

Kristy + Codi were married in September at the beautiful Rose River Receptions.  Here are some of their beautiful photos...they were even lucky enough to have a beautiful rainbow.  And, yes, that means it rained.  However, it was perfect.  The colors were so vivid because of the rain and it stopped just in time for their ceremony.  Everything was perfect for them.

Heather + GaryDee | 08.04.07 | Rose River Receptions

Wow...we are sooooooooooo behind in blogging all of our weddings this year!  Sorry to all of our anxious clients out there.  We are working, working, working. 

But, the good news is that we do have a great wedding to show you: Heather + GaryDee.  They had a great wedding at Rose River Receptions and everything went perfectly....after the storm of the summer that is!  Wow, I don't know what everyone else was thinking during that crazy storm that came through for about 45 minutes to an hour, but I was sure worried.  However, in Idaho fashion, it just passed on through, and they had the perfect weather for a summer wedding.  All of their details were PERFECT, and they all looked amazingly beautiful!  Check them out...

tessa + justin

we went back to rose river for one last "hoorah" - but this time we were lucky enough to catch the busy, busy family that makes the magic happen at rose river. Raelynn & Todd Lambert + family actually live on this beautiful piece of property. We are envious. (Except for all of the work it would take to keep it up!) We did a honeymoon session for their daughter Tessa and new son-in-law Justin. They were so much fun to work with! such a great couple - and still beaming with newlywedded bliss. Tessa looked like she just stepped out of a bridal magazine- seriously. Justin wasn't too bad himself. :) We loved her dress, her hair, and her feather 'bouquet.' They were refreshing. Of course, there were advantages to working with the owners, they had NEW secret spots to shoot! (They held out on us until now.) This family shot was taken in "the bayou" at their place. And though it is against the rules for everyone else to get in the water....Tessa was given special privileges. Maybe a little hesitant at first, but she got brave and took her dress (and Justin) into the water with her. I think she'll see that it was SO worth it- check it out!
