Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel Wedding at the Circling Raven Golf Club

Favorite Stills
Some love stories seem written in the stars, and Skyler and Austin’s journey is one of those that reminds us all why we believe in soulmates. On a gorgeous September day, we had the incredible honor of capturing their wedding, a day that had been over 13 years in the making.
The Love Story
Austin knew right away that Skyler was the one. For him, it was love at first sight. He would tell anyone who’d listen that one day, he’d marry that girl. It took some time and a lot of life’s twists and turns for these two best friends to finally take that chance. Their journey together hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been one of resilience, growth, and unwavering commitment.
Austin and Skyler’s wedding day was a reflection of this bond. It was a celebration of the past, present, and future.

Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel & Circling Raven Golf Club Wedding Venue
Skyler and Austin tied the knot at the Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel and Circling Raven Golf Club, nestled among the scenic rolling hills of Northern Idaho. Before the ceremony, they shared an intimate first look at the golf course, a special moment where anticipation and emotion overflowed, setting the tone for the rest of the day. The ceremony took place in the Chinook Meadow, a peaceful outdoor space near the Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel Spa. With family and friends gathered, they preformed a smudge ceremony, exchanged vows, and was wrapped in a beautiful Pendleton blanket before walking back down the isle as man and wife.
Golf Course Weddings are Always a Good Idea
The hotel shuttled us over to th golf course where we took advantage of the sunset for some unforgettable bride and groom portraits, with the golden light enhancing the beauty of both the couple and the surrounding scenery. The celebration continued with the reception at the Stensgar Pavilion, overlooking the pristine views of Circling Raven Golf Course. The open, elegant space was perfect for their lively celebration, where laughter, love, and joy filled the air as their closest friends and family toasted to their future. From the candid moments getting ready, to the tender private vows, and the beautiful sunset bride and groom photos, Skyler and Austin’s wedding day was one we’ll never forget. It wasn’t just a celebration of the present; it was a tribute to everything they had been through.
