Amy and Neil are Getting Married | Coeur d'Alene Idaho Engagement

A few years ago playing Rock Band I heard a song that mentioned something very true. The songs you grow to like never stick at first. So it was for Amy and Neil. Amy had a friend who kept telling her how awesome Neil was and Amy kept putting the suggestion on the back burner. Finally they went out and it was just kismet. Perfect. Amy couldn't imagine being with anyone else.

Things felt so comfortable with Neil, just like snuggling under a blanket warm from the dryer. So when Neil asked her to marry him after a delicious Italian repast at one of their favorite restaurants, Amy had no other answer than "Yes!"

Amy and Neil are awesome people who love their family. They wanted their whole household to be included in their shoot so we started off at their place and had some fun with their dogs before heading to downtown Coeur d'Alene to spend some time along City Beach.

It's not a real family portrait without puppies...at their house or mine!

While Neil is a guy's guy for sure, he has such a heart for his bride-to-be. It was incredible to witness. :)

We had so much fun including their (now thirteen-year-old) daughter Rhiannon in a few of the pictures. These three are such a great family together. :)

 

Isn't Amy gorgeous? I think her eyes and smile really shine out her personality here.

Neil is a super casual guy. Focusing on his personality for a moment here. He is awesome, and also has the same obsession with energy drinks that I do. Red Bull for me, Monster for him.

Everyone was excited for this picture. You know how teens can be sometimes? I know I did this at my parents at least once. Thanks for being awesome, Rhiannon.

Amy, Neil, and Rhiannon -- it was so great to be able to photograph the three of you and I am really looking forward to photographing all three of you at the fabulous Blackwell House come September!
