Malika + Emanuel’s Still Water Hollow Spring Wedding

Malika and Emanuel had their stunning wedding at Still Water Hollow in Nampa, Idaho. And let’s face it, at this point if you haven’t heard of this amazing venue, you might be living under a rock. Ha. But seriously, if you haven’t checked it out yet, head over to their website and find a time to go visit!!

I can’t quite express how special this day was for these two love birds! Speaking of birds, they had doves at their wedding. Doves!!!! I might have instantly started drooling as a photographer. I love when my couples bring in these special elements that make their wedding unique and personal. They designed pretty much everything themselves, their family and close friends supported them wholeheartedly by setting everything up and making it all look like the pros came in to make their dream wedding come to life!!

Every moment of their day really felt like perfection. Of course, the fact that they were committing their lives to each other (the most important part), but everything felt effortless and so fun! We managed to get it all in, use a lot of the SWH grounds for back drops, add in some smoke bombs, again the doves, her veil, the variety of light, all of it!! I can’t say enough. Enjoy sifting through Malika + Emanuel’s photos, it’s worth going all the way to the bottom!

My quote for the Bride + Groom

Malika and Emanuel, your love is so pure, sweet, genuine, and I know you will continue to bless so many around you because of this love!

“If you live to be a hundred. I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.” -Winnie the pooh

I mean, doesn’t Winnie the pooh have the best things to say! ;) Simple, yet incredibly sweet and I believe this is what you would say to each other. Wish you two the very best and many adventures together!!

Kind words from Malika + Emanuel

“The easiest decision of our wedding was made when we decided to hire Maija to capture our day! Her passion, enthusiasm and absolutely stunning photos made the decision a simple one. Knowing that we had Maija taking so much care documenting our wedding day in the amazing way she does really took the pressure off. With her wealth of knowledge, incredible eye for detail, friendly and approachable disposition we had rave reviews both on the day and afterwards from our guests and bridal party. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile. It really felt like we had another friend there with us throughout the entire day.”
