Story Telling | The Dingpatch | Amber Tyler, Photographer

I recently had the opportunity to meet up with my good friend Kristin Opris for a story telling session. Kristin is a therapist who also writes in her free time as a hobby, and as her own form of therapy. Kristin is the author for the blog, The Dingpatch. The blog consists of real life stories from her childhood. Stories that all have a comedic twist. She includes illustrations also done by her that are both funny and relatable in the simplest way.

Have you ever met someone and just instantly connected? That’s the best way to describe the first time I met Kristin. We met in one of those scenarios where we just happened to be placed by each other at an event. Maybe call it fate? I call it divine planning. I was meant to be in that place at that time to meet her. Her husband is a videographer and he had his booth right next to mine at the Spokane Bridal Fair. I don’t normally do bridal fairs, but I had just moved to the area and this was one of the best ways to market my business. Jason and Kristin had just moved to the area as well so he was there for the same reason. Kristin doesn’t normally help him with these type of events, but it all just happened to work out that she was there. Once we started talking I knew I had to stay in contact with this couple. They were just so genuine and easy to talk to. I even ended up having a conversation with Kristin about some of the grief and current struggles my family had been going through. Things that I had never said out loud to anyone outside of my family. Things that needed to be let out. It was like my own much needed therapy session. I couldn’t believe that I had just happened to be placed next to someone that not only understood my pain, but dealt with these type of situations on a daily basis in her profession. It was the first time anyone had ever told me that it was ok to feel the way I was feeling, and it set me free.

Now I don’t just go around telling people my life struggles, and that’s why I call it divine planning. I needed her gift of empathy. We are placed in people’s lives for a reason. We have so many gifts and talents that we may see as insignificant, but they hold so much weight in other people’s lives. Kristin’s blog is her way of processing her own pain, and using her gift to tell a story. Stories that might otherwise be embarrassing or seem imperfect, but through a comedic lens they show us that we all face these things. We can choose to feel shame or we can use it to fight the constant drive in the world that says you have to be perfect.

Karissa + Jacob | Chateau Rive | Spokane Wedding

At the beginning of November, I had the opportunity to photograph the wedding of Karissa and Jacob Mills. They chose the Chateau Rive for their venue. This venue is so unique and stunning! It is actually a basement of an old flour mill. The building is gorgeous, and there is a great view of the river!

The day seemed to go by so quick. They had all of their closest family and friends there to witness them say their vows. The ceremony was so full of love and praise to God for bringing them together. I absolutely love smaller weddings, there is just an intimate feel about them that is so memorable! The wedding party was so great to work with and we had a lot of fun with portraits.

All of the vendors were so great to work with! The amazing bouquets were made by Dragon Flower Designs. Delicious Cake and cupcakes made by Stacie’s Cakes.  Catering done by Red Rock Catering (food was super yummy!). DJ: Complete Weddings + Events. The DJ was a blast to work with! He did such a great job keeping me in the loop with what was coming next, and he kept the party going! I’ve never seen a DJ get in on the cupids shuffle, but this one sure did! You can see a photo of it below haha! Hair and Makeup was done by the lovely bride herself! She is actually the owner of a fabulous salon here in Coeur d’Alene! called the Luxe Beauty & Brow Bar.

Karissa + Jacob,

Thank you so much for having me photograph your special day! It was so much fun and definitely didn’t feel like work! I am so happy for you, and can’t wait to see where the future takes you! I hope to do photos for you again in the future. Oh and, Karissa my brows need you! LOL!

Sincerely, Amber Tyler

Mari + Mercury | Trezzi Farm Wedding | Spokane, WA

Working with Mari and Mercury has been an adventure since day one. We had such a blast during their engagement photos (view engagement photos HERE), I knew right away their wedding definitely wouldn’t disappoint. They picked Trezzi Farm for their venue. I was super excited about this because it was my first time doing a wedding at a winery. This venue is so unique because it combines the feel of a farm with a winery. The food was all made right there, by the owners of the venue. And in case you are wondering, yes the food was amazing. Made fresh with herbs grown right there at the farm.

Mari and Mercury are two of the sweetest people I’ve met. They also used the 3 words that are like music to my ears- “We trust you”. When it came to their wedding day, they trusted me and my vision for their portraits so that their day could be spent just enjoying each other and their friends and family. Which is how it should be! The last thing I want  you worrying about on your wedding day is what you need to be doing for photos. Leave that to me! 😉

The details for this wedding were absolutely perfect for a winery wedding. They chose marsala and a light emerald green for the colors, and went minimal with the center pieces and decorations. Because as you will see below- not much was needed with the stunning venue they had to work with! The cake and desserts were done by Lake City Cakes. Flowers by Rose and Blossom. Make up done by Shasta Hankins.
