Brittany and Kole's engagement pictures

This week I got to go out with Brittany and Kole and take their engagement pictures. No matter what Kole says, we had fun and being in front of the camera is harmless! We ran onto campus here in Rexburg and took some pictures in the gardens. They are so pretty this time of year. All the flowers are in full bloom and the grass is so green. Brittany and Kole are so cute together! Kole couldn't keep his eyes off Brittany and Brittany couldn't stop smiling. I've been roommates and good friends with Brittany for a while now, and Kole is a lucky guy. They are going to be so happy together. Good luck you two!

Otto's family portraits

Just before I left for school I got to take the Otto's family pictures. I've known the Otto's since before I can remember, so it was nice to go out and have some fun with them while snapping some photos. They are such a neat family and it has been so fun growing up just down the street from them. We went to the Hardy's backyard which is full of pretty flowers and lots of other plants, along with a little waterfall. The Hardy's do such a good job of always making it look good and keeping it all up. Now if I could only keep a plant alive...

Tanya and Matt's Wedding

A couple of weeks ago I went and helped photograph Tanya and Matt's wedding at the Beecher Hill House in Wenatchee. This was the last wedding I was able to help out with with Colleen, and it was a photographer's dream, minus the fact that I was sick. It was a beautiful place, the weather was perfect, couldn't ask for better lighting, and the bride and groom were the sweetest people. Here's a few of my favorites from the day.

The first look brought out a few tears in Tanya.

Tanya hid on the staircase while she waited her turn to walk down the aisle so no Peeping Toms could get any sneak peeks of her.

Getting ready to be escorted downt the isle.

Don't they look so happy and excited?

They had the neatest centerpieces that were the perfect touch to their outdoor wedding.

During the reception we stole Tanya and Matt and snuck off to the orchards to take a few more pictures of just the two of them.

The toasts that were given were very sweet and heartfelt.

My New Blog!

I am so excited for my new blog! Colleen Donovan helped me put it together late one night and she did such a good job making it look amazing. Thank you Colleen!!! I can't wait to get going on it.

This summer has been a busy one filled with lots of fun. I was able to be an assistant photographer to Colleen on several different weddings and ran a second camera. I had a ton of fun while getting a lot of good experience at the same time. With so many pictures, it was hard to recap them all in just a few photos, but here's a handful of them anyway.

These are from Mike and Stephanie's wedding out at Hidden Meadow. Even though it was blazing hot, it was beautiful and we still had fun.

We made the little ring bearer cry during formals when the two flower girls leaned in to kiss his cheek, but I caught him in the act himself a little later!

This next group of photos is from Rami and Kameron's wedding out at Cave B. It was the first time I had ever been there and it is a gorgeous place. The view from the ceremony overlooking the gorge was amazing.

These last few pictures are from Scot and Annalee's wedding here in Moses Lake. I loved Scot's reaction when he saw Annalee for the first time. He just couldn't stop looking at her.

I also helped out at Tanya and Matt's wedding a week ago so keep checking back! There's more to come!
