Cameron + Katie - Engagement Photos at Palouse Falls

Cameron and Katie booked me for their wedding and wanted to go somewhere epic for their engagement photos. After talking back and forth, they decided on Palouse Falls. Palouse falls has been a favorite place of mine to visit since I went to WSU in Pullman. The waterfall is in the middle of a dessert but can be roaring in the early summer and spring. We made our way down to the falls and hiked down to where we could get a good view of the falls.

When we reached to top of the waterfall, I realized the conditions weren’t the best for hiking around the edges as it was quite wet, so we kept our distance and did not make our way down to the base (one of my favorite spots for photos). Cameron also realized how tall the falls were and felt a little uncomfortable with the heights which also kept us from venturing too far along the narrow pathway. Even still, we got some amazing photos!

I love couples who are willing to try new things and push the limits (within reason). I am a very safe person to be with when exploring as I have spent a good part of my life hiking and exploring. I never ask couple’s to do something I don’t test first or think may be unsafe and always allow and encourage them to say “no” if they are uncomfortable.

After taking photos by the falls, we made our way back up and did some exploring along the way.

Later this same year, I got to photograph Cameron and Katie’s wedding at EJ Roberts Mansion in downtown Spokane. They remarked that they had so much fun getting to take these photos and that they absolutely LOVED their wedding photos. In fact, they both left me the following reviews:

“Because of Zach, my dream wedding day was ACTUALLY fun to be a part of! There was absolutely zero stress when shooting with Zach, and he puts a personal touch on all of the work he does. He has a creative vision for each environment that he’s in that really fosters a fun, light-hearted experience, and it’s obvious that he loves the job more than just for the money. We look forward to recommending Zach to everyone we know!”

- Katie

“From start to finish, Zach was an absolute pleasure to work with. Incredibly professionally and personable on every occasion we met, he went the extra mile to try something new and creative, and genuinely created an environment that was a blast to be a part of. The day of our wedding was an absolute breeze, and Zach was extremely flexible even when thrown into a situation that wasn’t included in the initial agenda. Photo quality is top notch; we cannot recommend Zach enough!”

-Cameron

I love what I do, especially when I can have an impact on improving people’s experiences and enhancing their wedding day. Thank you for reading along and if you too want to go on an engagement photo adventure, just ask!
