Winter Woods Engagements • Idaho Falls

I met Courtney at the best Birthday party. My friend Brittny had planned the coolest Harry Potter themed party for Tanner. It. was a scavenger hunt and there were clues all throughout Rigby that relate to Harry Potter. Courtney I were on the same team and bonded over a 2 hour car ride in Rigby. She’s got the sense of humor I love and carefree spirit that aspire to have.

Courtney is actually Brittny’s sister. You may remember seeing Brittny and Tanner’s Engagements or their Pocatello bridals a few years back. As soon as Courtney and Brad were engaged I knew I had to get them in front of my camera!

Courtney and Brad met me up in Idaho Falls at one of my favorite pine tree locations. Neither of them ever blinked at the cheesy things I asked them to do. Anyone who’s had a session with me knows I ask my couples to do some odd things during their session which turn out to be the cutest smiles and laughs from the session. Try scrolling through their images and not smiling. Their smiles are so contagious! For being 24º, I’d say they rocked it!

I’m so excited for these two to seal the deal in January in Utah! Enjoy my all time favorites in the woods!

Idaho Mountains • Anniversary Session

Josilyn and Zach were troopers for their session! I had found this super gorgeous location last year in the spring when I went out adventuring and location scouting. I knew it would be perfect for Josilyn and Zach’s anniversary session. I love the view of the mountains but also the farm fields. I feel like it’s Idaho all in one scene. Something else I love about this location is the colors that are already here before leaves are on the trees. I even had to text Josilyn before her session to tell her to bring real shoes since we would have to hike a little bit. The sagebrush and the pines just look awesome right now! Jacob and I even took some personal photos here as well awhile ago!

We also had amazing weather for their session and only 45 minutes from my house! The day before I had went up with my brother-in-law‘s and husband and it was kind of windy. But on Monday it was perfect weather. I love the sun is coming in from the mountains as well. The valley look is just so neat to me. And actually having to hike to a location makes it feel so much prettier. I love Idaho!

Wyatt + Maddi • Rexburg Proposal

Last week Wyatt called me and I knew exactly what it was about when his name popped up on my screen. Everyone knew a proposal was coming. But since I would be documenting the special event, I got all the details and plans earlier on. Wyatt asked Jake and I to set up along with Brittny and Tanner.

We left Rigby with Tanner and Brittny and found the rooftop right around 7:45pm. It was down pouring rain with no sign of slowing down, and the wind was also insane! Tanner drove us around the parking lot to see if we could find any other spots, but there wasn't much options. Right around 8:00pm we decided to just go for the rooftop that Wyatt wanted and we just hoped it'd turn out alright. As soon as we got out of the car, the rain turned into a light sprinkle and then to nothing at all. We were so stoked things were falling right into place for Wyatt's vision! The wind was still a little hard to work with as it blew out the candles multiple times, but it was nothing compared to what it was 30 minutes prior. 

I've known Wyatt and Maddi since they first started date over 4 years ago. To see both of them so happy literally brought tears to my eyes. I was bawling behind my camera as Wyatt proposed. After Maddi said yes, Jake, Tanner and Brittny came out of the side door clapping and congratulating. We hugged, we cried and we celebrated! Congrats again Wyatt and Maddi! Can't wait to document your wedding day!
