Allia and Kyle Engagement Session!

Allia and Kyle contacted us last summer to book their September 2009 wedding at the Boise Art Museum. They were hoping for some snowy pictures for their engagement session, so we waited until this winter for the snow to fall. The snow came during the holidays, and then left town before the all the schedules could line up! But all is not lost - we still have snow at Bogus Basin! We decided to meet at the Boise Depot for a few warm up shots before heading up the hill:







It was kind of chilly out, so we all hopped into the "Urban Suburban" and drove downtown for a cup of coffee and some window shopping:




Then it was up the hill in search of snow. We found snow and thick fog about half way up the hill:




A few miles later we broke free of the chilly, gray inversion and into warm sunshine! All in all a great day for pictures!





Cheers,

Looking Back on 2008

As the new year begins we find our 2009 wedding calendar filling up quickly - we look forward to photographing your wedding, and making new friends!

This is also a great time to reflect on the past year. We limit our wedding bookings to 15 - 20 each year, and 2008 found us photographing 17 weddings. As we look though thousands of photographs from 2008, the pictures bring back great memories from each wedding - every couple was so much fun, with each venue offering its own unique photo opportunities. It's hard for a single photo to summarize an entire day, but I thought it would be fun to share with you a random selection from each wedding:


Laural and Benn (Boise LDS Temple)




Sarah and Mark (Crystal Ballroom, Boise)




Monique and Jeremy (Messiah Lutheran Church, Nampa)




Sara and Derik (Northfork Lodge, McCall)





Charissa and Davin (Capital City Christian Church and The Rose Room)




Sara and Adam (Sawtooth Winery, Nampa)




Deyra and Santiago (River Rock Ranch, Star)




Kelsey and Andy (Banbury Golf Club, Eagle)




Abbey and Vince (Castle Gardens, Kuna)




Melisa and Taylor (Holy Apostles Catholic Church, Boise Basque Center)




Amber and Michael (Mountain View Church of the Brethren, Eagle Hills Golf Course)




Nicole and Russ (Power House, Boise)




Kristen and Jack (Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood, Ketchum)




Laura and Nick (Grove Hotel, Boise)




Maria and Alex (Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, Hilton Hotel, Boise)



Terra and Michal (Linen Building, Boise)




And lastly, Megan and Drew (Church of the Ascension, Canyon Crest Event Center, Twin Falls)



Thanks for stopping by - I hope you enjoyed the review!

Winter is Here!

It's no suprise to those living in the Boise area - winter is here! We had some cold, snowy days during the Christmas holiday. But that's no reason to put the camera down and curl up with a good book. Well, maybe that's not a bad idea either, but first things first: this is a great time to look for interesting pictures in the ice. If you enjoy nature photography during the warmer months, try going out during the winter too! Nature photography is a specialty of its own, but it is similar to wedding photography in one regard: watching for little details can make for great pictures. Below are a few things that caught my eye while wandering in the snow.



On this day my goal was to find interesting arrangements of leaves in ice. Quite often the leaves are scrambled and broken, but after some searching I did find some cool shots:







A different day had me looking for interesting patterns in the ice itself.



Small, icy streams can yield suprises too:





Thanks for stopping by, and have a great New Year!

Cheers,

Scott
