Chrissy and Fidel's 'We Got Married!' Party

Last summer, I had the privilege of photographing Chrissy and Fidel's engagement session.

There is something so intimate about a session where I see two people that love each other fiercely but quietly.

A few months after that memorable session, they surprised me by announcing their elopement! So, they decided to have a 'We Got Married' party and invite their friends.

This party reminded me that celebrating love doesn't have anything to do with yards of tulle… and everything to do with being with your closest friends and family, eating good food and dancing your buns off.

Megan and Zac - The White House - Coeur d'Alene, ID

Along the banks of beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene, on a street in the busy tourist city, inside the doors of a charming venue, Megan and Zac wed in front of their family and friends.

Sweet details - including handmade dipped bride and groom pretzel favors and a set of antique glasses - along with the pink lighting and a daintily decorated cake on each table… these set the scene for their celebration of love.

Thank you to the Glassey family for inviting me to be part of this day.

Venue: The White House

And now, I'm happy to share a selection of highlights from Megan and Zac's wedding day:

Lisa and Josh - Happily Ever After

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” - Dr. Seuss

That's a quote with special meaning to Lisa and Josh. And I think it fits them perfectly.

Energetic, youthful and so completely in love, I don't think these two stopped smiling for a minute on their wedding day.

The emotion and joy of the day was palpable. All the little touches - the table for family members that couldn't be there, custom signs, handmade decorations and a cheerful color scheme - set off the gorgeous water view from a friend's backyard.

I found myself tearing up during the toasts, as one of Lisa's big sisters explained her nickname 'Tiny'. Those sweet expressions, evidence of their strong bond, moved me.

There is another reason this day was so exciting for me personally. Lisa's sister Neva is one of my very best friends. Sometimes I pretend we are actually related. And my relationship with her has led to the privilege of photographing this whole family - exciting announcements, cuddly babies and exuberant engagements. I hope to continue capturing these special moments in their lives.

Lisa and Josh, I wish you all the happiness life has to offer in your future together.

Special thanks to Elli with Nostalgia Photographics who second-shot for me. Her enthusiasm and creativity inspire me.
