Beautiful Northern Idaho (Bonners Ferry, to be precise) served as a beautiful backdrop to a beautiful couple. Joel and Julia were about to get married in a couple weeks, and they asked that I do a wedding portrait session with them for the occasion.  Julia planned to send out announcements with a photo to their friends and relatives that would not be able to be there for their ceremony.

The weather would simply not cooperate for about a week, but finally, we got together the evening of May 12th, just before their wedding that coming weekend, and ended up enjoying some rare sunshine which made for some dramatic portraits.  And how we chased those sunbeams too!  We took advantage of a lovely overlook that takes in all of downtown Bonners Ferry and the river with the sunset in the background.  And then we ended up going to none other than Grandview Cemetery to borrow that Grand View.

Joel and Julia are obviously totally in love, as I'm sure you can see by the way they look at each other.  I had such a wonderful time sneaking in pictures when they thought I wasn't taking any yet!  A huge thank-you to you guys for allowing me to capture these special memories.

Sara's sweet personality and graciousness is readily evident in her smile.  We had a very fun time trying out several locations and outfits for this series.  The day was pretty chilly though, and between locations we warmed up with my car's heater on full blast! 

Sara is a talented singer, and has sung in many local and regional events.

She is also the winner of the 2010 Junior Miss competition!

Thank you, Sara, for allowing me to opportunity to capture some of your personality and talents at this important milestone in your life!

Last summer I had the wonderful opportunity to be a second shooter at a wedding photographed by the fellow who actually did my own wedding.  I ran around a lot, learned a ton, and am so glad I had the experience!  A big "Thank you!" to Matt Shumate for having me along for this shoot.

Well, here I am again.  I know it's been too long since I posted anything on my Blog page, and now that I'm back on task, there is quite a bit of catching up to do!  So I will do my best to at least recap a little bit of the elapsed time and projects since my last post... nearly three years ago! :)
