As a Southern California-based photographer, I felt honored to capture this destination wedding at such a stunning location. Coeur d’Alene’s unique combination of rustic charm and scenic elegance provided the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable celebration.

Nestled in Northern Idaho, Coeur d’Alene is renowned for its gorgeous landscapes, including tranquil lakes, lush forests, and gentle hills.
For Nathan and Kennedy, Coeur d’Alene was an easy choice as the charming venue provided the perfect setting for the lakeside wedding they had dreamed of.
Lakeside wedding ceremony
The couple’s ceremony took place overlooking the pristine waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene.
Framed by towering pine trees and breathtaking mountain views, the setting felt like a scene from a fairytale.
Kennedy looked stunning in a mermaid-style gown with long sleeves, while Nathan complemented her beautifully in a classic black tuxedo. Bridesmaids wore soft pink and lilac gowns, adding a gentle pop of color to the natural backdrop.
Romantic Couple Portraits
The diverse landscapes around Coeur d’Alene offered endless opportunities for captivating portraits. From lush forests to rugged shores, each location provided a unique backdrop. The couple’s beloved dog played a big role in their day, and we captured touching moments of the three of them by the lake’s edge.
Later, Nathan and Kennedy’s adventurous spirits led them to take a plunge into the lake for some truly fun, candid shots. Using a mix of film and digital formats, I was able to capture the essence of each scene with depth and authenticity.
Outdoor wedding reception
The reception was held outdoors beneath the open sky, embracing Coeur d’Alene’s natural beauty. Tables were elegantly dressed with white linens, beige runners, and wooden chairs, while market lights cast a warm glow overhead. Delicate arrangements of cream flowers, wild greenery, and subtle wildflowers adorned the tables in small glass vases, complemented by tall gold and ivory taper candles. Each place setting included a menu with a feather accent, creating a relaxed yet timeless ambiance.
