Tamarack Cabin

Just another little cabin up at Tamarack.

The interior decoration was artful and expertly done.

The whole place was absolutely gorgeous.

Of course, the “little” cabin was bigger than the average house, but I suppose that’s the way things are at Tamarack.

Thank you for inviting us to your wedding.

It was absolutely beautiful.

It was small and intimate and exquisite.

And you two made quite the couple.

We can’t wait for you to see all your pictures.

Thanks for letting me come take pictures of you on the eve of your labor.

Challis and children

Your children are beautiful. They must get it from their parents.

Challis and Abram

Even full-term, you’re still tiny.

Challis and baby

Enjoy your new one. He won’t remain small for very long.

First Wedding Show

February 2nd, 2008 by Chad

We attended our first wedding show today at the Nampa Civic Center. It was absolutely wonderful to meet so many brides-to-be and get a chance to talk with them about our approach to weddings.

Our only regret is that we weren’t able to spend more time with each of you.

We had quite a few brides take advantage of our wedding show special, and to those that did, we look forward to getting to know you better and working with you to make your wedding memorable.

If you didn’t have a chance to catch us at the wedding show, there’s still time. We still have quite a few wedding dates available for 2008, especially toward the second half of the year.

We only had to turn two brides down, since we were already booked on their wedding day. I always feel bad when that happens, but until human cloning is a reality, we can only take one wedding a day.

Congratulations are in order for Erica Mourton from Mountain Home. She’s the lucky winner of our Love Story Engagement Session drawing giveaway. She also happens to be one of the brides who booked us for her wedding, so that’s really exciting for us. Erica, we’ll send your gift certificate to you in the mail.

It was a pretty tough day for us physically. We’re exhausted. But we’re also glowing from the joy of meeting so many great people and being able to share our passion with all of you.

Chrisanne and Nicholas

It was so fun to have you back. A lot can happen in the first year and a half after your wedding.

Chrisanne and Nick and baby

It always amazes me how tiny these precious little ones start out.

Tiny baby feet

Maybe it’s just me, but in this case, he sure seems extra small.

We’re so glad you showed him off to us!

Kirsten and Jordan

What a beautiful winter bride! I loved your flowing white cape.

Kirsten and Jordan

The wind really kicked up the day of your wedding, but everyone kept bundled.

The reception was one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. Every detail was exquisitely planned.

And the dancing! Can you two ever dance! What a blast!

Kirsten and Jordan dancing

I can tell you that the two of you know how to have fun together. May you continue to share that fun for many long years.

Janeen and Brent

December 28th, 2007 by Chad

I’m actually not sure how you two did it. I was wrapped up in a heavy coat, with a warm hat and gloves on. And I still felt cold.

Janeen and Brent under the trees

All you two had was the love you hold for each other, and somehow that was enough for you that cold morning. I know it’s just a saying that love is like a fire, but either you two just put on a great show, or it really did keep you warm. I’m sure it was the coldest day of the month.

Janeen and Brent at the temple

In any event, you’ll certainly have something to remember about that day. And I doubt that the temperature will be the first memory that comes to your mind.

Janeen on the temple grounds

Thanks for trusting us to help document your special day. And thanks for your patience with us as we worked through a very busy month to get these pictures to you. I know you’re going to love them.

John and Esther

You have such a sweet family.

John and Esther

We loved grandpa’s sense of humor.

The grandparents

Jason was so kind with his niece.

Four Generations

And to top it off, you are all so beautiful.

Cory and the twins

What more could you ask for in a family?

Cory and Jana

November 30th, 2007 by Chad

With a new marriage, twin baby boys, and a precocious five-year-old, you’re definitely kept busy.

Cory and Jana and their family

It is very evident, though, that both of you share equally in the work.

Cory and son

And if there is anything you ever need to know, just ask your daughter. I think she knows just about everything.

Cory and Jana’s daughter

It was a blessing for us to get to know you better and witness the love you have for each other and your children. You are inspiring.

David and Brenda

November 29th, 2007 by Chad

Your family doesn’t need any lessons in having fun.

David and Brenda

And with more Megans than we could shake a stick at, it would have been easy for us to keep everyone’s names straight.

David and Brenda’s children

If it weren’t for the triplets, that is.

It was a bit cold, but you’re going to love your pictures.
