Wedding: Jihan & Luke
Jihan and Luke's Garden Chic Wedding on Couer d'Alene Lake was simply GORGEOUS!!!!! I was privileged to shoot alongside Amber again, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute (of both my weekend with Amber and her sweet family, plus the wedding)!!
There are no words for how much I love that top photo of Jihan, with the breeze catching her dress as she walked the path with her parasol in hand... and her sassy green shoe peeking out the bottom like a Cinderella slipper... and the beauty didn't stop there:
Luke is into photography, so we had fun "talking shop" while Amber was capturing Jihan getting ready, and I was snapping portraits of him:
It's an oldie but a goodie of a trick... As Jihan was on her way for their first look, I told Luke to just relax while I "tested out my settings". ;0) I love this relaxed portrait:
There are so many reasons I love it when a bride and groom opt for a first look. One very practical reason is that everyone's hair, make-up, and attire is in the best shape it will be in all day, so we have the advantage of capturing photos while everyone and everything looks absolutely flawless:
Another favorite:
Jihan proved to be an expert in ring bearer negotiations:
Amber and I were both swooning over this bridesmaid's necklace:
The ceremony site was INCREDIBLE!! It was backed by a quiet street of beautiful homes, and fronted by the beach of Couer d'Alene Lake. It doesn't get much better than that! Garden chic, indeed:
Two sides of the same
Guests arriving...
Groomsmen arriving...
...and of course, the bride arriving:
The entire wedding party, including guests, paraded down the street to the Marina for the reception:
Yet another fav:
Luke HANDMADE a photo booth out of mahogany, and it was quite a hit. With everyone:
I hope I didn't cause their print to be over-exposed, but I just couldn't resist the curtain being pulled back on the ring bearer and flower girl:
Jihan and her dad surprised everyone with this incredible choreographed dance:
We stepped out with Jihan and Luke to grab a few more portraits on the docks at sunset. I'm soooo glad we did! I've already posted way too many, so I'll leave you with these:
Amber, thank you so much again for this honor! I can't wait for September!!

A few more from the Independence Lake Hike
(For the record, we didn't carve the Z... but of course, I had to have a picture of it!)
