For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a storyteller. I spent my youth at the cinema with my Dad every weekend. And when we weren't having a Noir marathon, we were people watching and playing that game where you get points for spotting Neo or Trinity in a crowd. But I digress. I was raised on the cinema and inspired by it, so I bring that magic and wonder into everything I photograph.
Capturing a couples’ wedding day is like meeting them inside of a romance movie. I get a glimpse into your life and I’m honored to creatively capture your connection, your vibrance, your world.
I believe that great photos come from building an awesome relationship with couples. I want to capture real laughter and raw emotion, not cookie-cutter, overly posed wedding photos, because real love is about so much more than that.

Mount Rainer is hands down, one of my favorite Seattle elopement locations. There are so many trails to choose. from easy 2 mile loops to difficult 6 mile summits with 360 views of the cascade mountains. You won't be disappointed!

Big Sur is a popular destination in Northern California to take elopement photos. Sunset on the Pacific creates the most dreamy light and the cliffs are magical.

My work is a collaboration, I want to tell your story and I do that best when I know more about you. I like to add a personal touch and do things differently. My couples tend to be sentimental, adventurous and even non traditional, choosing to do activities that feel more personal. And I want to be there to document your story, whether that's morning golf descending into cart races or sneaking away to the hotel room to take a few intimate newlywed pics! I want to give you photos that capture who you are and what your relationship feels like. I am invested in you, your love, and your day.
There’s something magical about gifs and super 8 video, they remind me of the moving paintings in Harry Potter.

Many couples invite me to document their welcome parties or Day after sessions... I'm here for it all! For more info Inquire in the contact box.
Don't let price deter you, I'm willing to work with reasonable budgets for clients that appreciate who I am and what I offer. All I ask is that you remember that photography is not a hobby to me. It's how I support my cheese addiction, feed my puppy and just generally survive.
5. WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP ME?
No. The only things I will adjust are small blemishes and skin smoothing upon request. My rule is, if it won't be there in 2 weeks, I will do my best to edit out. (Examples: pimples, zits, small discolorations, makeup on clothing, lipstick on teeth.)
6. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE WEDDING?
It is pretty unlikely that I would miss a wedding but just in case, I have back up photographers available to cover a wedding, that are all experienced, creative, and approach Weddings with the same passion I do.

I don't offer videography at this time, but have awesome recommendations of videography companies in my welcome guide!
