Ryan + Alli 9.18.10

Planning a wedding can be hard, especially when you're trying to decide on an overall theme for the big event. Classic Bavarian? Rustic farm? In rare cases, a bride can have both...

I think Alli and Ryan chose me as their photographer partly because I'm willing to do just about anything but also because we have a similar love for a certain photo location: Knapps Farm up at Green Bluff. Of course there were other details involved, but from the minute Alli told me she wanted to have her wedding photos taken up at Knapps Farm after seeing some of my previous photo shoots at that location, it was all downhill from there. ;)

Ryan and Alli had their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Bozarth Mansion in north Spokane. We started their "getting ready" pictures at the mansion, then headed up to Green Bluff for Alli and Ryan's first look, their bride & groom pictures, and their wedding party photos. It was a gorgeous fall day and, as always, the owners of Knapps Farm were so gracious and friendly. As a side note, if you haven't been to Knapps Farm, you should take your family and friends and go up there in the summer to pick your own berries -- it's so much fun! From there, we headed back to Bozarth just in time for Alli and Ryan to get hitched! These two were so laid back and down-to-earth and it was such a fun day to be a part of! And I have to give props to my fabulous second shooter, the one and only Jordan Tampien... believe it or not, a lot of these featured shots are his. He's so great! :)

Without further ado, check out the slideshow below of some Flat 4 favorites from Alli and Ryan's beautiful wedding! If you can't tell, we had a hard time narrowing it down...
