Andrew + Emily // Sneak Peek

I can honestly say that I waited for this wedding to come for five years. I first met Emily, the bride, when her and I got jobs together at a local coffee shop. She was a junior in high school and was seeing a boy named Andrew. Emily always had crazy colored hair; that's actually one of my fondest memories of first meeting her. The other found memory was watching Emily and Andrew grow closer and closer as the years passed. Everyone who saw those two together knew that more likely than not we'd be seeing them standing at the alter together one day- and we were all right!

Robert + Ashley // McCall, Idaho Engagement Session

This session is absolutely one of my favorites! We photographed first in Ponderosa State Park where I made them balance on stumps and then moved to a private beach to the dock shots. I am DYING over these dock shots!

Kyle + Kylee // Sneak Peek

As I wrap up Kyle and Kylee's wedding album, I couldn't help but jump on here and share a couple highlights from their wedding day! They were married in the gorgeous St. Stanislaus church in Lewiston, Idaho. We were able to sneak away for a few quiet moments to capture their portraits and then they partied the night away with their closest family and friends.

Why is light so important? Advice from Boise Wedding Photographer Brie Thomason

You've probably heard me, or another photographer, mention how important that light is for images. George Eastman, the founder of Kodak, once said, "Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography." I have always used this quote as a guide for how I approach wedding photography. It is important for me to be able to know how to create great images regardless if it is sunny, raining, extremely bright, or hardly any light. I have taken courses upon courses just on light so that I know how to handle every possible situation. However, it should be noted that I do favor certain light over other light and that is why I am writing this blog post!
