Tyler Harris & Kara Davis Engagement – Julia Davis Park

Tuesday evening turned out to be a lovely last lingering taste of fall. Beaming rays of sun shone brightly and temporate fall temperatures and a few remaining gold leaves created a delightful setting for my engagement session with Tyler and Kara.

This lovely couple exuded their true emotions for one another in every shot I took. It was a real treat to be a part of the whole experience.

I’m looking forward to the wintry February wedding up at the Whitetail Resort in McCall, Idaho.

Kristin Hall & Scott Sword Wedding Engagement Shoot – Downtown Boise

This past Sunday evening I, Ray J. Gadd of Steve Smith Weddings set out with Kristin and Scott to capture some fun, loving, scenic and urban photographs. Seventy degree temperatures, clear blue skies, and great company made the engagement session quite delightful

Our night started out in the east Boise foothills where vibrant wildflowers provided great contrasting colors to the still green wild land grasses. Scott had a great location picked out just right behind the military reserve.

Downtown Boise offers up some great scenic and urban opportunities in a nice safe condensed area. It provided us with great venues to mix up the shots. Our first stop landed us at C.W. Moore Park. The late afternoon sun provided us with nice lighting on a cozy park bench.

We meandered throughout downtown Boise looking for a-typical elevated angles and scenic alley ways to provide an unconventional look.

Scott came up with a great idea of sharing a nice big ice cream cone from Coldstone. Marriage is all about sharing and what better place to start than a tasty waffle cone.

All in all, the shoot was super stress free. Kristin and Scott were a great couple to work with. Thanks for your laid back attitudes and creative input. I really enjoyed it last night. I’m looking forward to the September wedding!
