anabel + david :: married :: boise ID destination wedding photographer

If there is one thing I know, its that life is filled with lots of twists and turns. Over a year ago, Anabel contacted us to photograph her wedding that she was planning to have on Lake Wisconsin. But, as I have said, life keeps us on our toes and before we knew it, we were asked if we would mind shooting her and David’s wedding in Boise, where they live. We love the chance to document a “destination” wedding. Not really a destination for Anabel and David, but one for us. The fun part for me was that I lived in Boise for a little bit as a kid and my Mom grew up there. We still have quite a bit of family there as well. It still blows my mind that the temps can be 85 and feel like 80 instead of like here with all of the humidity. But what we don’t have here is the intense sun.

When I arrived at Anabel + David’s home, this sweet note was sitting on their table. With love, it is really the small gestures, the little things. Their day was filled with many of these small gestures and wonderful moments of tenderness. We were so honored to bare witness to their love.

Laughter…there was so much laughter! Anabel gave us some spots to check out. Mike + I fell in love with this wall. How awesome is this? Almost as awesome as the wedding party. I could have posted so many more images of everyone, but I am really trying to keep our wedding blog posts below 25 image. Their ceremony and reception was held at a friend of Anabel’s home in the foothills of Boise. Anabel was actually the flower girl at their wedding and now, the husband was preforming the ceremony for Anabel+ David.  The view was unlike anything. Mike got on the roof to get this shot. Such a brave man. One of my favorite images from the day. Just a simple moment during the toasts.

Light unlike what you find in Wisconsin, that is for sure. (These next two shots are straight out of camera with minor contrast adjustments. It was like liquid honey.) I couldn’t not post this! 

***Just for fun***
There was a Murphy bed outside. You could never have one of those out here. Too many mosquitos!
