Rexburg Mountain Engagement Session

It’s been insanely busy over here at JayCee Photography! I’m trying my best to catch up on some blogging when I get the chance. Lindsey found me through Instagram just a few weeks ago. When she contacted me, she told me she wanted a little more of that mountain look, but was on a time crunch. We decided on these Rexburg mountains for their engagement session!

I met both Austin and Lindsey at our location. The first thing I noticed was how giddy and happy Austin and Lindsey were to be around each other. Before even lifting up my camera, they were laughing and giggling together. It was so fun seeing that chemistry and love between them in just the first few seconds. We ended the session on a cliff that I love shooting on! And Lindsey and Austin’s outfits totally made the session!

Skatepark Anniversary Session • Rigby, Idaho

I met Jacob way back in 2012 while I was going to college at BYU-Idaho. One of the things that I was super attracted to about him was his “skater” vibe. He dressed a little more on the alternative side which I was totally drawn to! I honestly loved how sweet Jake was (seriously, he is so nice) while still having that look I liked.

So while we were dating we would go to the skate park and I would just sit and relax and watch him skate for an hour or two. That was also when I had just started getting serious about photography so I would take pictures of him here and there skating. Since then, I’ve always wanted to do a couple shoot with a skater couple because I thought it would turn out so cool!

A few nights ago I got on the skateboard for the first time in over five years and tried it again. I’m definitely not good by any means, but I had fun doing it. That’s when it came to me; Why not do photos of me and Jake playing the part? Okay, so I actually never dress like this anymore, but I did have everything in my closet, so maybe I do. Anyways, I grabbed my husband and brother in law (who also skates) and set up some settings and had him take a couple photos of me and Jake. I envisioned a more serious approach which was so difficult because it’s hard to be serious around Jake. But we did our best and I love how it turned out in the 5 minutes we shot! Thanks again to my brother in law, Caleb, who also took all these shots! He killed it!

Idaho Mountain Engagements • Rocky Mountain Wedding Photographer

Kicking off blogging on my new website with a couple who is the epitome of my new brand! Christina and Spencer are everything I ever wanted in my couples! These two came all the way from Kentucky for epic engagement photos in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho. We tossed around a couple location ideas back in March when Christina first emailed me. Good thing she booked it so far in advance because my summer is already getting so crazy! I told both her and Spencer I was grateful she took the time in advance to make plans so I had the opportunity to show them my Idaho.

The moment I started document Christina and Spencer’s chemistry, I couldn’t get enough! Their upbeat and adventurous personalities made our session together worth while! We hiked up a few of my favorite spots and honestly drove all over the place as I wanted to get them as much variety since they weren’t from the area. I love having couples who “ooo” and “ahhh” with me at how gorgeous Idaho is! One of my favorite parts of this session is the overcast skies we had! While some photographers prefer pretty light, in the mountains, I love having overcast to show the outlines of the mountains all around us! Another one of my favorite parts was how Christina and Spencer made this session their own! They brought a bottle of Champagne to pop during the session and blankets of their grandparents that we also included in their photos. This session is seriously what I aspire all my sessions to be like. Adventure, romance, and the Rocky Mountains!
