Spring Outdoor Wedding in Eagle, Idaho

Photos from C&T’s outdoor wedding in Idaho that feel effortless, alive, and full of love

When I first met Courtney, I walked away from our video call smiling because that’s the effect she has on people. Her joy is so contagious, her spark so bright, I was just thrilled to create with her and Tyler and photograph their outdoor wedding in Eagle, Idaho. 

Spending their wedding day at the Cottage at Riverbend

Courtney and Tyler wanted a backyard wedding feel for their spring outdoor wedding in Idaho. The Cottage at Riverbend in Eagle, Idaho was the perfect location for their wedding celebration: a charming house on the property where they could get ready, beautiful gardens beginning to bloom in the spring, and a shady lawn where they could gather with their family and friends made the cottage a beautiful place to spend their wedding day. 

Courtney and Tyler had an intimate but vibrant vision for their wedding, and everyone chipped in to make it happen. With personal touches like catering by Courtney’s own family, a cake made and decorated by Courtney’s mom, and just a few close friends and family members in their wedding party, every moment on their wedding day felt special. And Courtney and Tyler showed up in the best way possible: present. They took time to look around. They paused to have real conversations. They gave extra hugs. They let tears fall. It’s hard for me to think of another couple who lived as whole heartedly as Courtney and Tyler on this day and it was so beautiful to witness. 

Outdoor Wedding Ceremony in Eagle, Idaho

Courtney and Tyler welcomed family and friends to their outdoor ceremony under the trees. Officiated by Courtney’s father, with the quiet sound of the river behind them, the ceremony was a memorable part of their wedding day. Sam from Wayward Greens set up the most stunning floral arch and decor for their outdoor ceremony, an inspired backdrop for a cherished day. 

Following the outdoor ceremony, guests meandered back toward the tent and gathered under the spring blue sky for cocktails, yard games, and plenty of hugs.  

Wedding Reception Under the Tent 

Their reception took place under the tent at the Cottage at Riverbend. I’ll never forget when Tyler told me at their engagement session that their wedding would be the best party I’d attend that year. From heartfelt toasts to an electric energy on the dance floor, everyone who came out to celebrate Courtney and Tyler had the time of their lives. 

Courtney and Tyler, you are so easy to celebrate. Your love is effortless and alive. Every vendor we worked with that evening and every guest I chatted with agreed: you two are easy to love because of the joy and kindness you radiate in the world.

Reviews from the Couple & Family

It means the world to us as photographers to read the kind words our clients share about their experience with us. This time, Courtney’s family shared some too: 

From the bride: 

“Becky and Kaleb of Studio Ostendo are absolutely FANTASTIC!! My husband Tyler and I adored having them as our engagement and wedding photographers. We honestly could not have asked for a more kind, courteous, respectful, efficient, communicative, exquisite, artistic, reliable pair to capture our special day. From the moment we met with Becky, my mom and I felt a sense of confidence and knew we would be in great hands. That has continued to this day with excellent communication, humor, and fun. They were remarkably effective, while not being pushy, and now feel like friends we've had for years. So many of our wedding guests commented on how amazing they were, too!

They beautifully and honestly captured the essence of US and the day, for which we could not be more grateful.

It is such a gift to view our photos and relive the day! They are so easy and lovely to be with and such excellent artists. We highly recommend using Studio Ostendo for any of your photography desires! They are truly stellar.”

From Courtney’s mom: 

“It is hard to put into words the pure joy I feel every time I look through the photos from my daughter’s wedding.

Becky and Kaleb of Studio Ostendo did more than take beautiful pictures — they captured the heart, emotion, and happiness of the entire day.

From the bride and groom to the wedding party to every guest in attendance, every image reflects the love, bliss, and celebration we all felt in those moments. Their photos are stunning, heartfelt, and full of life. They noticed the big moments, the quiet moments, and everything in between. Becky and Kaleb were able to check off the list of posed photos with such grace and cheerfulness and they captured so many candid moments and scenes as well. They truly enjoy what they do and it was so much fun to watch them in action. We all know the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, but Becky and Kaleb’s photos are truly worth a million. They gave us memories we will treasure forever, and we could not be more grateful. Studio Ostendo is incredibly talented, thoughtful, and gifted at capturing the true spirit of a wedding day. We recommend them with all our hearts.”

Wedding photography is my heartbeat. For me, it holds the perfect tension between creativity and authenticity, observation and connection. In front of my camera clients transform to friends, and behind it you'll usually find me tearing up, cheering you on, or holding my breath because of the raw goodness of the moment at hand.
