Golden Hour PhotoVenture

My sweet friend Shaina and I went exploring one late Fall evening. We found a trail above the Snake River that curves around the airport and gets the most lovely light at sunset. I brought along my backup camera and let her try it out on me.
I rarely am in front of the camera, but she’s got a good eye. ♥

Fall is quick upon us.

Heeeeeey 💁🏼‍♀️
This edit felt really artsy, but I like it
trying out that 1.8 aperture. 😉

We drove back to IcyView and tramped through the marshy area to the little pond on the mountain side. The sun was still up, but just barely.

I adore her effortless smile.
My favorite one of the whole shoot. 😍 those eyes!

Serpentine Hotsprings Elopement

I had the honor of photographing my second Bride and Groom in September 2020. Mikey and Kayla eloped at Serpentine Hotsprings with the help of their dear friend and pastor, Terry. and a private pilot, Stan. I hadn’t flown in a 4 seater since I was 12…. so that was quite the experience!

Bride and her ride!
Pilot and his wife. They planned to fly on to hunting camp after dropping us off at the end of the road after the ceremony.
Flying over the Serpentine Hotsprings area – lots of granite tors.

I arrived with bride Kayla and the pilot’s wife. The pilot left to pick up the groom Mikey and Pastor Terry from the end of the Kugarok road, about 30minutes flight away.

Waiting as her soon-to-be husband flies in and lands at the hotsprings.
He has arrived [in the plane]!
These two are stunning!

Congratulations to Kayla and Mikey Wongitillin!
