Jessica + Taylor • Idaho Bridals

Oh, this bridal session melts my heart! Jessica and Taylor were extremely giddy during their session. As we were about to start their first look at the beginning of their session, I went to see if Jessica needed anything at her car. Jessica and I then started walking over to Taylor, who was turned the opposite way so he couldn't see Jessica. Right as we were just a few yards away, Taylor peaked at Jessica before we had given him the go ahead! He was still so excited to see Jessica when we did the official first look, but I thought is was so cute that Taylor couldn't help but sneak a look before he was supposed to. 

As we hung out for the evening, Jessica and Taylor were not afraid to be themselves! It was great seeing them take a pose and make it their own. All their emotions and interactions were so genuine which is what I strive for in all my sessions. Real emotions and images that make you feel something.

Happy Wedding Day Jessica and Taylor! 

Austin + Ashley • Sand Dunes Bridals

Oh these two! Austin and Ashley's engagement session up in Kelly's was so dreamy, and their bridals were no different! I got the chance to chat with Austin before Ashley arrived for the first look. Hearing him talk about their future and upcoming adventures just made me so giddy for them!
When Ashley mentioned the Sand Dunes, I was ecstatic! I loved having a change of scenery and once the light was perfect, I got some stunning photos of Austin and Ashley being completely themselves and in love! Their walking and dancing shots are my favorites from that night. I am so happy Austin and Ashley get to start their lives together today! Congrats you two! 

Nikki + Steffen • Kelly Canyon Engagements

I met Nikki back at the Marry Market in March. It was a spring bridal fair hosted and held by The Venue in Rigby. I had the chance to chat with Nikki for a few minutes there. She entered my engagement/bridal session giveaway and won! This shoot has been in the works for a couple months, and I'm so glad we were able to make it happen this past weekend! 
We decided to meet up at Kelly Canyon for Nikki and Steffen's engagement session. Kaige came for a couple family shots which just made the entire session that much better. Kaige's little smile was so contagious! Just look at him! And Steffen brought his show truck. Props are actually becoming a new favorite for me. They bring variety and personality into your images. And the classy shots we got with Steffen's show truck were fantastic! 
I'm thrilled for Nikki and Steffen to tie the knot. Enjoy some of my favorites from their engagement session!
