Snapshots of Us

Only the best example of both their personalities. This was taken in 2021, for an End of The Year bonfire!

They had just finished church, and it was a winter wonderland outside, so they took a photo before heading home.

A night out with friends checking out the Christmas lights down in Lewiston, ID.

The very first wedding they went to as a couple! It was also the first wedding out of their friend group!

Same friends wedding, also one of the first times they had gotten all dressed up. They needed to go to the store the week before to get Ryon the right outfit.

For their 1-year anniversary, Ryon took Alyssa out on a date to the Red Barn by the University of Idaho Aboretum. They ate sushi in the back of his car, and watched the sunset.

Another year in Lewiston checking out the Christmas Lights!

Ryon's first time on Oahu! They went to the Pali Lookout with Alyssa and her family after spending time at the beach. It was so windy Ryon's hat almost blew away!

This was for Alyssa's birthday, and Ryon invited their friends out for dinner to celebrate! When they got done with dinner, they got her birthday Dutch Bro's drink.

Engagement photos! This was from their second session (they had to schedule a part 2)

The sunflower! This was one of the only one's that didn't have a bunch of bees swarming it in that moment.

Alyssa's 22nd birthday! Her roomate decorated the apartment, and Ryon got her a sweet gift - a music box!

Playing with fire pt 2?

Another friends wedding! Guess how many times Alyssa has lost her nails at these weddings...

For their 1-year anniversary, they also walked through the sunflowers and Alyssa watched Ryon pet a bumble-bee (she didn't know you could do that)

All-aboard! Lewiston decorates the train for Christmas and they couldn't resist taking a photo!

The second round of engagement photos! New location, and new fun poses.

Cute photos together lit up by the giant bonfire.

Spot the photoshop! hint: it isn't the lighting

"look at her like you love her". Their photographer was great! She helped these two pose in a way that best reflects their personalities and love for each other.

Dancing in the rain? Check! It poured this day, unexpectedly. But these two and the photographer made the most out of the short time they had!

Showing off the ring, an engagement photo session must.

Even though they got rained on, the photos from this session were probably their favorites! So far..

The photos in this spot were taken in the same spot that Ryon proposed. The Coeur D'Alene boardwalk.

Probably Alyssa's favorite photo! They were a bit worried about ... falling in the rain, but Ryon made sure she didn't fall.

Ryon's first luau. They got rained on here too, but Ryon got an Aloha shirt, and the couple got to eat some pretty good Hawaiian food - Mauka Warriors Luau

For Ryon's birthday, Alyssa planned a day out for his friends, and visiting family to go Axe throwing!

Coffee date! They get busy, with work and other obligations, so early morning coffee dates before work were a thing they did for a while.

Their first Halloween together! Finding costumes was a last-minute adventure, which eventually they found some Unicorn onesies and ran with it!

Searching for a wedding Venue! What an exciting time!

Beach day with Alyssa's family!

The King and Queen of Axe Throwing!

Lewiston Christmas Lights!

Each tree was lit a different color!

Just another great example of their personalities!

Pullman Chamber Cabaret! What an adventure that night was.

King & Queen - But this time she poses nicely

Pretty sure this photo was after Easter church service.

Rose Ranch Anniversary! A huge event, with Ryon's Family. Alyssa's first time meeting Ryon's extended family.

Their first Ski/Snowboarding trip together! Ryon got to use his new board, and Alyssa got to ski again for the first time in 16 years?

Goin' to Hawai'i! Their first plane ride together.

The two took Truman (Alyssa's little brother) out to Chuck E Cheese's for a fun day out!

West side-best side! They spent a day out together to celebrate their anniversary over on the West side of Oahu.

Watching the sunset!

Golden hour - probably Alyssa's favorite part of each day. The two got to wrap up their day together watching the sun set.

Coffee farm! On their way to the North Shore, they stopped by Green World Coffee Farm and tried some locally grown and brewed coffee

Friends trip! Spring break trip with friends over in Chelan, WA.

Who wore it better?

Happy Easter! This was after their first Easter service together as a couple. The church held service outside since there were still some restrictions, but it was such a nice day out!

Quick photo-op in the car!

Post Colfax Downtown Association Gala. Another night to dress up and enjoy delicious food!

Camping with friends! Alyssa lost a slipper... They caught a lot of fish, and their tent almost got flooded with water.

Church retreat! And another great example of their personalities! Ryon was on the worship team and played drums. Alyssa championed some of the games and activities.

Easter service at RLC!

Another friend's wedding! Such a beautiful venue. This was just a couple of months before they got engaged!

Celebrating a friends wedding at their Washington reception! Their outfits may or may not have been a last minute purchase...

"stay still" -- Ryon's #1 thing he says to Alyssa when they take photos together
