We were beyond honored to capture Kris and Aliya’s breathtaking destination wedding at Island Park, Idaho—without a doubt, one of our favorite weddings of 2024! Their day was a perfect mix of rustic cowboy charm and elegant lace, set against the stunning backdrop of Idaho’s fields of wildflowers and towering pine trees. It was truly a photographer’s dream.


From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Kris and Aliya had poured their hearts into creating a wedding that felt both intimate and grand. Surrounded by their closest family, the ceremony was framed beautifully by wildflowers with the majestic mountains providing the perfect backdrop. As they exchanged vows, you could feel the genuine love and excitement between them, and it was such an honor to capture those moments.

One of our favorite parts of the day was taking Kris and Aliya aside for their one-on-one time. Walking through the peaceful Idaho forest, we were able to capture the quiet, intimate moments that only the two of them shared. The love they have for each other was so palpable, and it made for some of the most special photos of the day.

Every part of their wedding, from the heartfelt ceremony to the stunning surroundings, felt like something out of a dream. It was impossible not to feel the warmth and joy they radiated, and we’re so thankful they chose us to document such a meaningful chapter in their lives.

This was, without a doubt, one of the best weddings of 2024. We’re so grateful to Kris and Aliya for letting us be part of their beautiful day, and we’ll cherish these memories forever. Here’s to love, adventure, and the most beautiful couples!
