Hope Todd + Brandon
The Vision
When Hope and her partner started planning their big day, they knew exactly what they wanted: a classic, elegant celebration shared with their closest family and friends. No frills for the sake of frills — just a beautiful, timeless day surrounded by the people who matter most.
The Day-Of
The morning began with something truly special. Before the busyness of the day took over, Hope and her partner slipped away for private vows on a park bench overlooking the city of Spokane — joined by their black lab, Goose, of course. There's something so grounding about starting a wedding day with a quiet, intimate moment like that, just the two of them (and a very good boy) taking it all in before the celebration began.From there, Hope got ready alongside her bridal party at a charming Airbnb near Manito Park, where the morning's calm gave way to excitement. The group captured photos in the soft daylight, and Hope and her partner shared a first look that set the tone for the rest of the day.The ceremony itself was held at the Steam Plant in downtown Spokane, where guests gathered for a gorgeous rooftop celebration. Live musicians provided the soundtrack as the couple exchanged vows with the Spokane skyline as their backdrop. Once the "I do's" were said, the party kicked into high gear — family and friends danced the night away in true celebration fashion, making for a wedding day that was equal parts elegant and joyful.
Hope's #1 Tip for Future Brides
"Don't be afraid to do things the untraditional way if it makes sense for you and your partner! Also, a day-of coordinator is 100% worth the splurge!"Hope's advice is a great reminder that the best weddings are the ones that feel authentic to the couple — private vows on a park bench with the family dog, a rooftop ceremony instead of a traditional venue, and a coordinator to handle the details so you can simply enjoy the day. Congratulations to Hope and her partner on a truly beautiful celebration!
