Tanner + Brittny • Downtown Idaho Falls Engagements

Our group of friends consist of all of Jacob's buddies through High School. We're all super close and I feel like I even went to high school with everyone too. My brother-in-law, Joseph, and Tanner, roomed together at BYUI for the past two semesters. Joseph joined the Stunt team in the fall and told Tanner he should come with as support and to meet a couple girls. So they joined together. 

In November I noticed Tanner was with a girl, Brittny, in some of his Snapchats. He never mentioned anything in person though which I thought was interesting. I later found out that Brittny was on the stunt team with him and they were good friends. They were hanging out often and Brittny decided to try asking Tanner out. Tanner, being a Meng boy, didn't get the hint that she was into him. He figured she wanted a group to hang out with so when Brittny asked to go to Wendy's, Tanner would invite all his roommates to come with. This happened a few different times including a movie night. Brittny finally went and told Joseph she was ready to give up on Tanner because she didn't think Tanner was interested. Joseph ended up going up to Tanner and saying, "Dude, Brittny's into you!". 

Tanner had an "ah-ha" moment. He'd been into Brittny the whole time but wasn't getting her major hints. They both laugh at the story now, but I honestly think it's pretty cute. Enjoy some of my favorites from their Idaho Falls Engagements. Today is also Tanner's Birthday! Happy Birthday Tanner! :) 

Danielle + Cayd • Idaho Falls Engagements

January was a snowy month here in Idaho. I hadn't seen so much snow in years. Idaho Falls had over 17 inches fall in January alone! For every session I was in at least knee deep snow, and this one was no different! Danielle won my Instagram Giveaway back in November and we started planning a snowy engagement session here in Idaho Falls. I was so excited to shoot their engagement session! 

It was Mrs. Gleaves 7th grade science class when Cayd started hitting on Danielle. He was persistent for some time before Danielle showed her interest in him as well. They started dating and now, 7 years later, he proposed and they're still just as in love! High school sweethearts have a love unlike anyone else and I love capturing it! 

Hannah + Drew • Medicine Bow

Hannah was good friends with my sister in middle school and that was when I first met her. Hannah is that girl everyone loves for her kindness and easy-going personality. I could swear she smiles in her sleep too. 

So when Hannah first emailed me in August, before she was even engaged, I was so giddy! I could not wait to shoot these two and their Wedding! Once they were engaged we started planning out their Engagement photos and Hannah and Drew were going to drive all the way to Grand Junction, Colorado just to have ME take them! Luckily I was able to plan out a last minute trip to Wyoming in September which worked out perfectly for all of us. 

Hannah really wanted some water in their engagements so I asked if I could take her up to Medicine Bow and she agreed! I hadn't been up to the area in about 5 years so it was wonderful seeing the gorgeous colors throughout. And the wind finally slowed down just in time for our session!

This session was an eye opener for me. It reminded me why I love taking couples to the mountains, and why quality time away from distractions is an important part of my sessions. I loved getting to know Hannah and Drew and their story. And I am thrilled I get to be a part of their June Wedding.
