Tyler + Brita | Engagement

Here are a few random things I love... 1) Green Bluff, 2) old beat up trucks, 3) dogs, 4) fun, stylish, rad people like Brita and Tyler, and 5) cute shoes. So it totally makes sense why I love this photo shoot so much!

Brita and Tyler are good friends with my sister and we have gotten to know them more and more over the last year, so we can now call them our friends too! :) I had to say "we" because my hubby, Jordan, not only came along on this photo shoot but also thinks Brita and Tyler are an awesome couple to hang out with. We are also shooting their wedding in September, which is going to be a blast! This couple is so laid back, completely hilarious, and compliment each other so well. Oh, did I forget to mention they are smokin' hot and switched into total model mode the second the camera came out?! I love it. We traveled all around Green Bluff to find some fun photo spots and Tyler and Brita also brought Ty's guitar and their two dogs, Jake and Jax. I am totally digging engagement photos that reflect the couple and the things they love!

Check out some Flat 4 favorites, which were definitely hard to narrow down...



Congrats, guys! We are so excited to be a part of your big day!!

Mathew + Stephanie | Engagement

It's been a while since I've done a photo shoot in downtown Spokane and I was seriously craving one! So when Stephanie and Mathew said they wanted me to do their engagement photos downtown, I was giddy. Let me back up a second... Matt is my hubby's (seriously rad) cousin and Stephanie is his (even radder, if that's a word) fiance. Unfortunately, I am already booked to photograph another wedding on their wedding day, but they still wanted me to do their engagement photos. And you know me, I am a complete sucker for engagement photos. :)

Not only was the photo shoot with Stephanie and Matt super fun, it was also my first ever evening photo shoot (note to self: evening shoots are AWESOME.) The more I get to know Stephanie and Matt, the more I feel like I've known them forever. They are so down to earth, are continually making each other laugh, and so obviously ready to do life together and rock it as a married couple! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, they brought their sweet Golden Retriever, Bella, to be in a few pics -- I love all the engagement photos with dogs lately! So fun!! Anyway, here are a few Flat 4 faves of the beautiful Stephanie and Matt...

Congrats, you two! We wish you nothing but the best!!

Justin + Stasha | Engagement

I think engagement photos are quickly becoming my favorite. You only have two humans to worry about capturing and it makes it easy when those two humans happen to be madly in love with each other. It also makes it easy when the couple is hot, like seriously HOT. Enter Stasha and Justin!

We completed our weekend trip to Seattle with a rockin' engagement shoot with this awesome couple, whose wedding we are photographing at the end of August in Spokane. Stasha and Justin live in Seattle and it was Stasha's brilliant idea to do their engagement photos on a ferry to Bainbridge Island! It took me all of two seconds (and a little self-restraint not to scream with excitement) to reply, "Ummm...YES! We are so there!" I love it when our clients come up with great ideas that are fresh and out of the box. :)

Stasha and Justin have actually known each other since high school. Side note: We all actually went to the same high school where I'm pretty sure each and every one of my good guy friends had a huge crush on Stasha... had to throw that in there. ;) There is nothing better than photographing a couple who has a ton of fun together, is REAL, and whose relationship is visibly just rock solid. Stasha and Justin have all of these things and much more. We could go on and on about how much fun we had with them (and how yummy the French Toast we ate at Bainbridge Island was), but we'll cut to the chase and show you some of our favorite pictures! And let me tell you, we had a heck of a time narrowing it down...



We are so excited for Stasha and Justin's wedding in August!
