Last weekend I had the pleasure of working with Matt & Di at 620 Loft & Garden in midtown Manhattan.  Matt and Di, and all of their guests, were great to work with.  The love these two share was almost palpable, and so was the love their family and friends share for the two of them.  I am so glad I was able to be a present for their wedding to capture the wedding day of a great couple, and look forward to sharing the moments I captured with them and their family.

There were a lot of things I really enjoyed about my time living in Spokane, WA.  The people were friendly for the most part, the seasons were great (four of them, each uniquely different), it was a haven for an outdoor lover, but most of all Spokane, and the area around Spokane, is beautiful and perfect for photography.

The river above is the Spokane River, and you may have guessed that the city beyond the river is Spokane, WA.  The great and interesting thing about this river is how variable the flow is. During peak snow runoff which is usually sometime in early May, the water flow is so severe they actually close down the bridges across the river because the spray from the waterfalls makes crossing treacherous.  Come back just 3 months later in August, and the river you see above is barely flowing enough to be considered a creek.

During the spring, with flowers in bloom and high clouds to accent the sky, water flowing in the river, and the still cool evenings, you would be hard pressed to find a better area to find beautiful photographs waiting to be made, all within an easy drive from Spokane, WA.
