Carlson Wedding: Anticipation {Spokane Wedding Photography}

I first met Kristin when I did her senior pictures a few years back. Since then, I have come to consider her family my friends & so I was thrilled when she called to ask if I would photograph her wedding, particularly to such a remarkable fellow. And because Kristin loves pictures (though not nearly as much as she loves Ben) I am going to post this in three settings - so for this evening...the time before the "I do". Enjoy!

From Tennessee, With Love



I have had the opportunity to book weddings & hold photo sessions all around the United States. Typically, these are for people that I know. So it was a huge compliment and a fun surprise to be able to meet and photograph this couple while visiting family in Tennessee. We had talked on the phone twice (to schedule a session) and met (literally) 2 minutes before I started the session. And despite the 90 degree weather in 85% humidity, I can truly say it was a delight to photograph them - I think you will see it, too. This couple is in love. Enjoy!

{Spokane Senior} Avery

One thing that I enjoyed about this photo session was that each place we went signified an important part of Avery's high school career. We hiked the mountain his wrestling coach makes the guys run (let me tell you, it was STEEP) for the outdoor pictures, and endured a sauna (seriously, it was that hot in there!) to capture some pictures in the weight room. And while this is a guy serious about his athletics, he was equally joking with his family and smiling for pictures - a great combo for a great senior session. Enjoy!




{Spokane Senior} Amanda


You may not believe it by these pictures, but not ten minutes into our photo shoot, and Amanda was stung (and I mean the little bugger stayed stuck STUNG) by a bee... she was such a trooper. A few minutes and some ice, and she had her game face on and decided to enjoy her session and make the most of the gorgeous light we had. Looking at how they turned out, I hope she agrees it was worth it! Enjoy these, Amanda...goodness knows you earned it!
