Alex and Heather Job

July 27, 2013 -- What a peacock perfect day for a wedding!  Especially for Alex and Heather, who lined up all of the best for their day! 

Their story is an adorable one, as all are, but it’s cute twist was that Heather joined Alex one day at the family owned Nursery and that is the when the family knew she was the one for him.  Or at least that is the story that the best man, Arthur Job, gave in his toast.  

And the nursery is where the peacock theme came from.  As Heather said, it started as an idea that took on a life of its own.  But the colors where so much fun to work with, so alive and vibrant and the peacock feathers were so abundant in the decorations!

Each of them brought something special to the wedding that was a part of who they are.  Alex brought the plants, trees, and flowers to the wedding and Heather brought the corvette and chemistry beakers! 

Fr. Richard, of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, did a great job of explaining what men want in a wife and what women want in a husband, using humor.  Most of the attendees where laughing, but in so how knew what he was saying was truth.  He encouraged Alex and Heather to grow in faith and love, and they seem to truly appreciate his words to them.

As stated before there was an amazing line up for the day, starting with a beautiful gown from Amy’s Bridal, then the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and church décor where from Twigs and Petals and they were amazing!  Once the reception started Country Gentleman’s team stepped and took over.  All of the needs of the reception were taken care of by their staff!  Love working with all of them!

Alex and Heather had an amazing wedding and we wish them the very best!  We know they will have a wonderful life!!!

Valentine's Day

Our First Valentine’s Day together

By Mary Ann Breshears

Rich and I were sophomores in college at the University of Idaho and very typical college students, meaning we had no money, but we were in love.  We had been dating for almost a year and were certain we were going to get married as there was talk of it but no official date on the calendar.

When the day arrived I personally was so excited that I had the most incredible Valentine in the world and he was all mine!  We made plans to meet at 5 so we could exchange Valentines, go to dinner and then spend the evening talking about how wonderful our life together was going to be!  Rich arrived at my dorm room promptly at 5 with gifts in hand.  He brought me a bottle of inexpensive Champaign and a box of equally inexpensive chocolates, plus a card.  I had gotten him a very small box of not quite as inexpensive chocolates, a heart shaped balloon and a large sappy card.  We exchanged our gifts, thinking we had almost outdone ourselves given we were living on a student’s budget of $0 for gifts.  Then the highlight of the evening arrived, dinner, we walked to Skippers and had all you can eat Fish and Chips.  (It was Friday in the Lenten season) 

We sat in a booth in the back of the restaurant with the lots of other college students around us, but we didn’t care.  We talked and talked about our future.  How someday, we would be married living out the perfect married life: house, children, pets and jobs.  Together we were ready to take the world on!  After our long fluorescent light dinner, we decided to walk the long way home, circling around the campus when we realized it was getting late, about 8 pm.  But Rich needed to be up and at work by 2 AM so our first Valentine ended with a kiss at my dorm room door.  All I thought was ---Wow what a wonderful evening with my incredible Valentine.

Twenty-seven years later I spend almost every moment with my Valentine and in my opinion he is still incredible.  This year we don’t have all of the things we talked about at that amazing first Valentine’s day dinner but we do have so much more and I would not change a moment of the journey to get to today’s dinner.  I don’t know what we will have to eat tonight for dinner, probably not fish and chips, but what we will have is still a lively conversation about our family, maybe our pets, what needs repaired in the house and of course our day of photography studio work.  We love what we do because we do what we love!  How many can say that, I ask you?  What a wonderful day to stop and reflect.

Thank you Rich Breshears for being the best Valentine a girl could have 27 years in a row!!!

Jennifer and Andrew - June 9, 2012

Andrew and Jennifer’s day started with rainfall but gave a way to beautiful sunny skies as the bride prepared to go down the path.  But while we were waiting for the rain to clear we had a great time capturing some fun images in home of Bill and Carol Allenbaughs.  As you will see in one of the images we even took advantage of the water tank shower!  Once the rain stopped we took full advantage of the fair skies and had so much fun walking the property to capture an extra few fun images.

Here are some of shots from Jennifer and Andrew’s backyard wedding!  The bike played an important part of the wedding…the groom rode in on it! How awesome is that?! It also made for a great prop.

The beautiful sunset made for a perfect get a way for Jennifer and Andrew!  

Branden and Laura's Wedding Day

Summer officially starts in June, and you know what that means? WEDDINGS!

Laura and Branden had a beautiful day!  They were attentive to every detail including the socks for the groomsmen.  We loved their choice and had so much fun capturing a few images of those fun socks! 

There were tears and laughter sprinkled into their day.  One of the most touching and tearful moments was when Laura’s Dad saw her in her gown for the first time.  There were no words for that moment. 

Laura and Branden were able to borrow a get a way car that made for many more fun images up in the Horse Heaven Hills with the sun setting.  As they drove away into the sunset, we thought “there is what Happily Ever After looks like”.

 Here are a few shots of Laura and Branden June wedding at Bella Fiori Gardens. Such a beautiful day for a wedding! 

Senior Portraits

Senior Portraits: Sara Taylor

Since we’ve had so many senior sessions lately we decided we wanted to have one of our past senior ambassadors write about what it was like being a model for us! So here is a post from Sara Taylor about her experience working with us for her senior portraits.

           

Working with Breshears Professional Photography was a wonderful experience that truly made having my senior pictures taken both fun and memorable! I always knew that when it came to my senior pictures I would call Breshears Professional Photography because both of my brothers had theirs taken with them and I thought to myself “well if they had theirs done with Breshears I want mine done there too!” So of course when it came time to actually do the photos I was both excited and nervous. Excited to take the first step to becoming a senior and nervous over what to wear and bring to the shoot!

Thankfully when I spoke to Mary Ann Breshears on the phone about the session to set up a time she gave me some great ideas of what to wear and bring with me! I was probably most excited about being able to bring my puppy to the session with me for some of the photos because one of my brothers had brought his dog, so again the whole “well if he did it I want to” feeling kicked in!

With the session being both indoors and out they had me bring three outfits that I liked best (and that my mom approved of) along with some of my own props so that the photos could capture parts of my personality. I was thrilled when they said I could bring props because I immediately knew what I wanted to bring with me: my color guard flag, my saxophone, my guitar, and of course, my puppy!

The session was a blast and was nearly two hours long (though it seemed to go by quickly) and I laughed a lot! I was eager to see the finishing product of the photos taken and counted down the days to my photo viewing. I think I just about broke my face smiling when I watched my photo video! It was very well put together and had music to it that reflected my personality very well! (I must have watched it ten times in a row looking at all the photos!)

Seeing the final photos all put together and having to choose which I wanted as my senior picture was difficult because there were so many amazing photos! All the different effects of black and white photos as well as sepia and different color tones made it that much harder to decide which picture I wanted in the year book and what ones I wanted to buy for my family and friends!

After choosing all the different photos we chose the package we wanted and with having the portraits on a viewing CD we also ordered later in the year my graduation announcements. These had a photo on it so that family members that hadn’t gotten a picture could still have one and have an invite to the graduation as well!

When all was said and done I loved the entirety of having my senior portraits taken with Breshears Professional Photography and had a wonderful time working with them!
