When Lisa and Ryan contacted me last summer about their upcoming winter wedding, it was another one of those moments where I was talking about wanting to shoot a winter wedding in an amazing North Idaho location and then the opportunity was dropped in my lap. Once they told me their wedding was going to be at Elkins Resort in Priest Lake and they definitely wanted some images to highlight the area, I knew this was going to be great.

Lisa wanted her wedding to be captured in a way that she could look back on her album and relive the day through the pictures. Ryan just wanted to have fun and enjoy the time he would have with his wife, family and friends. 

The day started off with a fresh layer of snow blanketing the area. The power outage from a downed line would have had most brides at their wit's end. But Lisa rolled with the punches. Ryan was there to keep the mood light and make sure that everything went as smoothly as it could.

And when it came to the time that I had with the bride and groom for portraits, it was a perfect situation. We went to the locations that we had scouted out earlier in the day and Lisa and Ryan did their thing and I documented.

And the end of the day, the power came back on, Lisa and Ryan enjoyed their reception and visiting with everyone and I had a solid collection of images to edit through. And, i came to the conclusion that I need some more winter weddings in locations like Elkins.

It's been a great year for my photography.I had the opportunity to document some amazing moments, meet a lot of fun people and work with some great friends along the way in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and a number of areas throughout the Inland Northwest.

Every year I’m impressed by the excitement, nervousness, sometimes awkwardness and general amazing abilities people have before some of the biggest moments in their lives.

I hope 2013 brings me the same luck and I’m anxious to see what moments I’m privileged to document with my camera.

Jerome Pollos Photography Best of 2012

Karla and Dave weren't about to let a little rain get in the way of their wedding.

They're day started with a small ceremony with family and friends at the Old Church in Post Falls, Idaho. Karla was ready for her big day. And Dave, well he was totally enamored with the idea of being able to exchange vows with his special lady. This couple is head over heels in love with each other. At one moment during the ceremony Dave kissed Karla's hands almost as a way to regain his bearings because he was so lost in the moment.

Following the ceremony, the wedding party, guests, and this photographer took part in a feast of baked goods that included an amazing cake and wedding cake lollipops. Tasty.

All that was left for us to do was to brave the weather and create some portraits of the newlyweds. 

I've been slacking on updating my wedding package pricing for 2013. I'll make the official change Dec. 15. There's still some time to book weddings for next year at this year's rate. My procrastination could be your gain.

Emily and Ken wanted a relaxed atmosphere for their wedding.

Friends, family, each other, a ceremony, a party. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Well Mr. and Mrs. Chambers, mission accomplished.

The Lodge at Sandpoint was the perfect venue for this big event. They had enough space for their rehearsal dinner. There were plenty of rooms to accommodate all of their family and friends who traveled to witness these two tie the know. And have a ceremony on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille doesn't hurt either.
