Luna and Tim approached the ceremony arch, he turned to glance at his bride with a huge smile, giving her a knowing look that expressed his joy and gratitude for this moment!
The side glance is one of my favorite wedding moments, its not the epic first kiss that you'll frame and put on your wall - but documenting your wedding is about so much more than the big Hollywood movie moments. It's about all the candid little moments that capture exactly how your love FEELS.
I believe that great photos come from building an awesome relationship with you. 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.

When you look back at your wedding photos in 20 years, I want you to remember the way your arms wrap around each other every time you stood near. And the way you laugh with your whole body at an inside joke, only you two share.
My couples tend to be sentimental, adventurous and even non traditional, choosing to do activities that feel more personal. It's time to move past traditions that don’t resonate with you. Your day should celebrate all the unique and fun aspects of who you both are and what your relationship feels like.
There’s something magical about gifs and super 8 video, they remind me of the moving paintings in Harry Potter.
3-6 minute video shot entirely on analog super 8 film. The retro vibe of film is one of the most unique and magical ways to capture your wedding memories!
These wedding films are something I'm very, very proud of. Shot entirely on analog super 8 film they capture the true feeling of the day in a way a photograph can't.
