We had so much fun at Brooke & Tommy’s Hayden Lake Country Club Wedding in Hayden, Idaho. I love when destination weddings have a sentimental meaning to the bride and groom, and Hayden Lake is where the groom spent lots of time in the summers of his childhood. Hayden Lake Country Club was one of THE most unique and beautiful wedding venues we have been to in almost 10 years of shooting weddings! Not only was in a gorgeous setting, the dance floor was on a deck so close to the water. It had a very Northwest vibe and was classy and laid back at the same time.

I loved all of Brooke’s fun DIY details. Just some of my faves were:

• Peg board & clothes pin
• Succulent centerpieces
• Bunting for the center aisle
• Vintage wedding pics of family
• Polaroid guest book

And that is just a start! She did all of their flowers as well! I see a career in  wedding planning  in the future! :)

Drew and I headed to Hayden Lake Country Club in Hayden Lake, Idaho for Brooke and Tommy’s Destination Wedding. It was fantastic. The weather was beautiful, the setting was absolutely amazing and the couple (and families & friends) were just delightful! Plus I got some of my very favorite DIY wedding details ( painted clothes pins, bunting and Polaroid guestbook…you’ll have to come back to see those, though!).

Here are just a few shots from just after their first look….my favorite part of any wedding day!!

I heart DIY weddings…well mostly any kind of weddings, but DIY details are my favorite! I think its because they are such an intimate expression of a bride and groom….because they were made by them! If you are having a DIY wedding, I would love to be a part of it! Please visit my contact page and let me know all of your fun details!!

Someone during the toasts at Carly & Ellis’ Wedding commented that it was an incredibly honest wedding. It was. It didn’t have any pretense or pomp wrapped up in it. The bride (and her mom) didn’t even wear shoes for goodness sakes. It was just raw, real and such an honor to be a part of. We loved every second of this woodland washington wedding. Here’s just a few from yesterday at the Wallace Falls Lodge in Goldbar, Washington.
