Tim & Elizabeth’s Love Story: A Powerful Connection

How Tim & Elizabeth Met

Tim and Elizabeth’s love story began on a fateful night at Nashville North, a lively bar where they met, in Spokane. From the moment they met, they knew something was special. Their bond grew stronger, leading to their decision to tie the knot in a breathtaking summer wedding.

Faith and Family in Their Ceremony

The couple shares a deep connection, not just with each other but also with their faith. One of the most important elements of their wedding day was incorporating their relationship with God. It was so evident that they wanted to keep God in the center of their marriage. During their ceremony, their pastor invited their family and closest friends to pray over them, it was a powerful and emotional moment to witness.


A Beautiful Summer Day Wedding at The Barn at Mader Farm

On a sun-drenched summer day, Tim and Elizabeth said their vows under the clear, blue sky. The atmosphere was filled with romance, joy, and heartfelt emotion. From Elizabeth’s mother walking her down the aisle to the tender exchange of vows, every moment was charged with love and significance.

The Barn at Mader Farm was the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable day. Nestled in the rolling fields of the Palouse, the venue’s classic elegance combined with a slight country feel made it an ideal choice for the couple’s vision. As the day ended, the sky turned to the most beautiful sunset – very expected of a Palouse summer day, and it was the perfect time for their golden hour bridals.

Tim and his groomsmen kept things classic with sleek white button ups, suspenders and boots, complementing the bright, summer feel of the wedding. They added the country, while Elizabeth and her bridesmaids were the classy!

Family was central to Tim and Elizabeth’s day. One of the standout moments was the prayer ceremony, where their family came to pray over them and their new marriage. Elizabeth’s mother walking her down the aisle was an emotional and significant moment, adding an extra layer of warmth to the ceremony.

Working Together: Why Tim & Elizabeth Chose Me as Their Wedding Photographer

Elizabeth initially found me through my social media, drawn to my bright, elegant style and ability to capture real-life moments with sharpness and clarity. We officially met at the Bridal Affair in Lewiston. After reaching out, she shared that my communication and attention to detail far exceeded her expectations, which sealed the deal for her!

We moved into planning quickly after she reached out, only a couple months before the wedding. Elizabeth initially met me unrelated to wedding photography, but after sharing mimosas and getting to know each other, she decided I was the perfect fit. Despite reaching out only a few months before her wedding, we clicked immediately and worked together to make her vision come to life!
