Beautiful rainy day wedding... I guess rainy days are good luck!

Lindsay & Dustin’s vintage vineyard wedding really was picture perfect. Starting with beautiful people- inside and out and all the way through every detail. Wood River Cellars is absolutely beautiful all the time– but especially in the fall. I was a spoiled girl at this wedding with perfect light, gorgeous trees and colors, and of course an amazingly accommodating bride and groom with exceptionally great family and friends. I definitely have to mention the stunning flowers by Georgia with Boise at it’s Best- I have never loved hydrangeas so much, and the bride’s bouquet was perfect… and even with a little personal touch of Lindsay’s grandmother’s brooch attached at the stems. Lindsay and her mother created and found everything for the wedding and Brandi and her girls at Soiree made it all come to life. The vintage candle sticks and chandeliers graced every table, silver frames, and gorgeous place settings made the tent at Wood River Cellars look different than I have ever seen it. They did a great job bringing it all together. I had a lot of fun shooting this wedding and then again while working on it I got to relive the excitement. Once the reception got kicked into high-gear at this wedding, the party was really rolling! Filled with I’d say a majority over-rule of Vandals at this wedding, it was quite the party and dance-off. The night flew by, and I was so honored to be a part of it.

​Brandi of Soiree weddings and events tapped into her true native roots for the inspiration on this one! Handcrafted bean-chevron weaves wrapped the vases on the sweetheart table. Brown ratton chargers and wool linens created an authentic but modern texture for the decor. We threw in a little glamour with the vintage white and gold china, gold glitter paper on the invitations and stationery, glitter and feather guest throw bags for the ceremony and glistening mixed patterned fabrics for the hand sewn floor poofs for seating at the ceremony. The ceremony altar was crafted from tall branches woven together with leather cord, tied with feathers and round reflective hanging beads to add our touch of glisten. They blew a little in breeze creating beautiful movement for the ceremony backdrop. The aisle was laid in hand cut out paper feathers that were painted gold and white, then tacked down to the dirt with little pins. We chose a barren location in the beautiful Boise Foothills- where it's yellow grasses and vast view of the treasure valley puts you at home with nature. We added to the natural palette with pops of color in the flower arrangements rich with peonies, coral bells, anenomes and more. Hair and makeup was very important for this shoot-- The natural makeup with a hit of coral and gold on the eyes adds a little drama to her look, and the tousled hair finishing in a side fish tail braid, wrapped in leather and topped off with a feather is absolutely breath taking. Our groom, was dressed in Gap denim skinny jeans, a BDG v-neck tee and a Kenneth Cole gray tweed vest. The mohawk, bolo tie and sage brush boutonniere tie him right in. The modern/native monogram is used on every piece of the stationery- and the neutral colors in the design are complemented by the pops of coral and turquoise in the paper layers. We jazzed it up with some gold glittery paper and envelope liners. Die-cut feather place cards are attached to the straws.

Bryanna & Matt Woodington October 11th, 2014?In snowy December 2013, Bry and Matt were married in front of family in McCall, but they knew they would celebrate with all of their closest family and friends almost a year later. Held at Matt’s family ranch in Nampa, the two invited their guests to take a peek into their lives together- from Bry’s southern background to Matt’s childhood in Idaho surrounded by horses. The reception was held in early fall, and Bry chose the loveliest shades of pinks, purples, and navy to embrace the season. Southern touches included mini gold jockeys, cotton in the centerpieces, and our favorite- mini passed chicken and waffle appetizer bites! Gold horseshoes and an elaborate mashed potato bar, along with the ranch as the setting for the entire event gave guests a grand Idaho welcome. The most memorable piece of the event was a replay of the entire ceremony and the couple’s vows; it was the perfect way to include the guests that couldn’t be with them at the actual ceremony, as well as a beautiful way for the couple to remember their wedding day.?
