Bogus Basin Wedding | Hillary + Jason

I’ve photographed over 400 weddings in my career, and I’ve done a lot of weird stuff with a camera. However, Hillary and Jason’s wedding at Bogus Basin gave me my very first (and second and third) opportunity to tube backwards down a snowy hill while taking pictures of people also tubing. Yes I was slightly nervous about my very expensive camera, but this was what I call a “professional tubing hill”, so steering and even seeing where I was going was unnecessary. It was a complete blast, and the photos are so fun.

In addition to tubing, I also snowboarded with Hillary and Jason and their friends and family and took photos of them on the slopes, I love snowboarding, and this was so much fun for me.

Hillary and Jason’s wedding was one of the most fun weddings I’ve been to, and that’s really saying something. From the moment I talked to them, I could tell that their wedding was about being with the people they love most and having a great time, two things very near and dear to my heart. I’ll let the photos tell the story from here, but this day at Bogus Basin was a complete blast behind the camera.

Boise Wedding Photographer | Stacey + Josh

It was FREEZING (capitalized for emphasis) for Stacey and Josh’s wedding at Kathryn Albertson’s Park in Boise. One lucky thing is that I don’t notice temperature when I’ve got a camera in my hand, so I did just fine photographing their wedding, well until I got into my car and realized HOW ABSOLUTELY FREEZING I WAS!!!!

I admire the connection Stacey and Josh have. This was a wedding that I photographed for Simply Eloped, so I didn’t meet Stacey and Josh until their wedding day, but even though I only spent two hours with them, their connection was tangibly strong, I can see that they’ve been through a lot together and know that they’ll continue to go through a lot together. I love some of the moments you’ll see with their kids in the photos below. I know how wild and joyful family life is, and I get a lot of meaning from documenting these beautiful moments.

I’ve really enjoyed photographing weddings for Simply Eloped and seeing the model they use, they are a super legit business that does an insane amount of elopements all over the country every year, and they’re located here in Boise. I’m moving my business into a similar type of model so I’ve enjoyed experiencing how they operate and run things, they’ve got a lot of things figured out that I’m learning along the way.

Boise Wedding Photographer | Idaho Light

Looking forward to summertime, warmth and weddings. I shoot weddings in both Boise and Portland, and here’s a few of my favorite images from shoots in Boise. After shooting full time for so many years in Portland, where the light tends to have a green tint (from all of the beautiful trees and greenery), the desert light in boise is light, airy and refreshing and if I had to choose, I’d choose desert light 95% of the time. Don’t get me wrong, I love moodiness and crying in the rain, but…..also…
