Love letters to my wonderful clients and their amazing wedding days.
Woodsy Winter Wedding at Wallace Falls Lodge, Washington
Jocely and Jason contacted me in December 2019 and we actually did an in person consult where they introduced me to the wonderful Boon Boona coffee in Renton. Fast forward a couple months and we all know what happened. While most couples were able to reschedule within a year, things were more complicated for the J’s because one of them is Canadian, with Canadian family they wanted at the wedding and the border remained closed. Once the border reopeened another “problem” came along but a happy one, they were pregnant!
Late Summer Queer Joy Wedding at Falling Water Gardens, Washington
If there is one word I could come up with to summarize Akela and Billie’s late summer wedding at Falling Water Gardens, it would be joyful. The whole day these two beauties were smiling and giggling and screaming with laughter. They were giddy in love like it was a potion.
Late Summer Fae Wedding Trinity Tree Farm Seattle WA - Nick & Franklin
Nick and Franklin’s late summer wedding at Trinity Tree Farms near Seattle was nothing short of fae wonderland dreams.
A snow filled Stevens Pass engagement session // Wyatt and Miranda
In the weeks leading up to Wyatt and Miranda’s engagement session I was working myself up into an anxious mess about driving over the pass in late December. Every day I was obsessively watching the weather and the traffic cameras, predicting that the day we were due to do the sesison there would be a freak snow storm that only struck when I was crossing the pass. I actually eneded up borrowing a friends 4x4 just to make sure I was fully prepared. All of which came to nothing because the day I drove over the pass it was gorgeous clear blue skies and though there was snow on the ground there were two “ruts” that were clear to the ground. Basically it was absolutely no bother at all!
Sunkissed and snarky springtime Rattlesnake Lake engagement session
Akela and Billie’s engagment session at Rattlesnake Lake was filled with all kinds of adorable interactions, as well as a healthy dose of snark.
A woodsy, queer couple video session // Loren and Aeden
I don’t remember when I first met Loren anymore but we’ve been friends for at least four years that I can work out so when I needed a couple to model for me for a video session I immediately thought of them and their partner. Thankfully they were available!
A Tacoma micro elopement at gorgeous Elope 253 // Derek and Evelyn
Derek and Evelyn’s city elopement at Elope 253 in Tacoma, Washington was a short but sweet elopement for a couple about to spend a lot of time apart.
A queer, love filled Cannon Beach elopement // Angela and Mayra
Angela & Mayra got married on a cloudy, misty day on Cannon Beach in an adventure elopement that you can’t help but smile at when you see the love that surrounded them.
Late summer sunset Carkeek Park engagement session // Molly and Kenji
Molly and Kenji’s engagement session at Carkeek Park could not have asked for better late summer weather if it had tried. The temperature was just right for walking around but not hot enough to draw everyone else to the park as well.
Intimate Elopement at The Lodge at St Edwards State Park // Rachel and Trent
When I met Rachel and Trent for their consult prior to them booking me for their elopement, we spent almost four hours sitting talking in the sun. So I knew their intimate elopement at The Lodge at St. Edwards State Park was going to be great because it felt like I was showing up and cheering on friends.
A snowy Mountain Springs Lodge wedding day in Leavenworth // Pacifica & Evan
Pacifica & Evan’s wedding day out near Leavenworth at the Mountain Springs Lodge was a winter wedding wonderland.
Volunteer Park Elopement Session // Imani and Nick
Imani and Nick came all the way from California to get married in Seattle at the courthouse but they wanted to get some photos done somewhere a bit prettier beforehand and I was only too happy to help them!
A fiery Point Defiance Engagement Session // Pacifica and Evan
While I do have some favorite spots and go to’s for engagement sessions, it’s not often that I go to them back to back but that’s what happened last Fall with Point Defiance Park. One night I was there for Adam & Tony’s engagement session and the next night I was there for Pacifica and Evan’s engagement session.
Jessica and Tyler take Gold Creek Pond by storm // Seattle Couple Photography
Jessica is a local florist here in Seattle so when she reached out to me about doing an anniversary couple session for her and her husband Tyler, I’ll openly admit I started hyperventilating. With all the connections she has the in the Seattle Wedding Photographer network, she wanted little old me? I was beyond honored and I knew I wanted to get her and Tyler some special photos.
Frank and Margaret's summer wedding turns up the heat // Seattle Wedding Photographer
This wasn’t your usual wedding. They forewent a lot of the “staples” of a traditional wedding. There wasn’t a wedding party, there wasn’t a DJ, there was no bouquet or garter tossed. There wasn’t even a traditional venue.
But what there was, was a whole lot of love.
Same Sex Summer Sunset Engagement Session at Seattle's Discovery Park
I met Alex and Trevor at Discovery Park on a warm summer evening right before the Fall rains descended on us. Thankfully we managed to stay dry as we wandered around Discovery Park capturing their love and talking about their relationship.
A beautiful Fall Washington Arboretum Elopement // Chelsea and Matt
Chelsea and Matt flew all the way into Washington to elope on the Washington Coast and then decided they could not wait a few days more to be married and so they hired me to capture their beautiful Washington Arboretum elopement on a beautiful Fall morning.
Long Distance Romance Engagement Session // Seattle Wedding Photographer
When I was setting up a consult for Gregg and Lorena, we had a few things to work around, namely the fact that Lorena wasn’t actually in the US but still in Colombia!
Joyful Carkeek Park Summer Engagement Session // Rachel & Trent
When I met Rachel & Trent for their consult we grabbed coffee outside at a coffee shop and we ended up talking for almost four hours and Rachel & I ended up with sunburn (Trent was smart and sat in the shade) but that should tell you something about how well I get on with these two.
Jeep Filled Brown Family Homestead Wedding // Jess and Caroline
When Jess and Caroline asked if they could incorporate their Jeeps into their engagement session because down the line they were going to be a part of their wedding day, I knew their wedding day was going to be great! Not only was the engagement session awesome but their wedding took place at one of my favorite venues in all of Washington: Brown Family Homestead!
