2017 Wedding Recap | Some of my Favorites | Amber Tyler, Photographer

WOW what a year! 2017 was full of lots of amazing people and awesome adventures. We traveled throughout Idaho, Washington, Montana, Nevada, and New Mexico documenting the sweetest love stories. I went through and selected one image from each wedding to share in this blog post. There are so many images that I love… so some of these I had to just close my eyes and pick one because it was taking me entirely way too long to decide! Haha! Anyway, I will be sharing more from each wedding in more blog posts… so don’t worry, you will get to see more. Until then, enjoy this one image each recap for my 2017 wedding season!

To all of my wedding clients of 2017- THANK YOU! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. I am so honored to know you all and to have been able to document such awesome moments. I wish you all the best- here’s to the start of your best adventure yet!

Sincerely, Amber Tyler

Ashley + Jeremy | Leavenworth, WA Wedding | Amber Tyler Photographer

If you are going to get married in Leavenworth, WA. it only makes sense to do it around Christmas time! This place is absolutely magical during the month of December. I’m talking decked out in Christmas lights, there are carolers and people dressed up as Santa Claus just roaming the streets. I seriously felt like a kid again visiting this place, it was amazing.

I met Ashley where just about everyone meets new people these days- social media. Instagram to be exact. I was running a promotion for destination weddings and she found my ad and contacted me. I could tell right away just in communicating online that she was my type of bride. She was laid back, funny, very passionate about her daughter, and shared hilarious memes all the time. She told me the story of how Jeremy proposed and that he proposed in one of her most favorite places in the world- the Oregon Coast. Which just so happens to be one of my most favorite places in the world! (You did good Jeremy).

With the help of friends and family, they were able to plan this wedding pretty quick. I love the details and that not much decor was needing because both the wedding venue and cabin they stayed in were already pretty enough as is, topped off with Christmas decor of course! The venue is Mountain Springs Lodge. Food was also provided by the lodge. The cake was done by the grooms aunt, Tracy Giesbers. The bouquet was made by Full Bloom Flowers out of Wenatchee, WA. The dress was from Charolette’s Weddings & More. The rest of the decor was DIY.

Ashley + Jeremy,

Thank you so much for having me capture your special day. I had so much fun getting to know you and your family. Everyone was so nice and I felt so welcome. The cabin and venue were absolutely amazing! I’m so glad we had plenty of pretty snow too! I hope your day was everything you dreamed of and more for your wedding. I wish the best for you, Jeremy, and Avery! Oh and the filet mignon was the bomb 🙂

Sincerely, Amber Tyler

Chris + Ileen | Spokane Wedding | Amber Tyler Photographer

Chris and Ileen were referred to me by one of my past clients, Con Schafman of Chalk Market. I love when I get referrals from past clients, it’s definitely one of the best compliments when someone is happy with your work and passes your name on to their friends. Plus, when really awesome clients refer someone to me, there’s always a great chance that they are going to be really awesome too! This was definitely the case with Chris and Ileen. They had an intimate backyard wedding in Spokane WA. When I first met up with them to hear more about their wedding they expressed how they wanted to keep it simple and more about spending time with their friends and family. The simplicity of this wedding ended up being so gorgeous! We started out with a first look and some portraits in down town Spokane. I LOVE how these turned out! I’ve wanted to do some bridal photos in down town for so long now.

The back yard where the ceremony and reception were held was gorgeous, the perfect scene for a wedding! There were many different settings for portraits all in one place. I love that all of the details were things that are unique to the couple. They used carrier boxes from their favorite craft beers as center pieces. Each table had a different box filled with flowers and party mix. The cupcakes aren’t just your average cakes, they are bundt cakes made by Nothing Bundt Cakes. They had gourmet sandwiches for their dinner made by Brooklyn Deli & Lounge. These sandwiches were AMAZING, I highly recommend them! The bouquet and other flower garnishments were done by the wonderful Caroline Signer Floral Design. Chalk board signs were made by my dear friend Con of Chalk Market.

Chris & Ileen,

Thank you so much for having me capture this special day for you. I loved every minute and every detail. Thank you for trusting my vision for your photos! I love how they turned out so much, definitely some of my all time favorites! I can’t wait to see what adventures life takes you on, and I hope you get to cross off all of the bucket list suggestions guests made for you!

Sincerely, Amber Tyler
