I have been dreaming about Ashley and Dan’s Brown Family Homestead wedding day ever since they first reached out to me. Think of a quaint, simple ceremony and reception site tucked among some of the most gorgeous mountain views you can ever imagine. That is the Brown Family Homestead venue, and Ashley and Dan knew […]

Amanda and Chris are one of those couples who are just so genuine with everything they say and do, you can’t help but love them the moment you meet. And it seems they felt the same way about each other—from the moment they met, it was like no one else was around. They were completely […]

Jessica and Marty’s Black Diamond Gardens wedding was the most perfect kick-off for my wedding season this year, and the most perfect spring day for a wedding in Washington. The skies were overcast, but every once in a while the sun would gleam out in all its glory. They went for a theme of simple, […]

I have been dreaming of shooting Deception Pass elopement photos or an adventurous session up in Anacortes, Washington, for about as long as I’ve lived here now. Anacortes and the Deception Pass area are within an hour and a half of Seattle and you would never know it is all so close to the big […]

As a Seattle wedding photographer, I have become quite experienced with shooting in rain. It’s an industry necessity! While you can reschedule a portrait session around the weather (but good luck with that if it’s between October and February) you can’t just move your wedding date based on what the skies are doing that day.

Ashley and Dan first met six years ago at the Sasquatch Music Festival at the Columbia River Gorge. As fate would have it, although neither of them were living in Washington at the time, they were both living in the same city in Nevada. What a small world, right? They bonded quickly, realizing that they […]

Matt and I met sometime during our freshman year of college. He was an engineering student with Ryan at the University of New Mexico, but even though they were friends first, he and I quickly realized how much the two of us had in common and became BFFs too. For years, Matt was our favorite […]

The second half of our adventures down under took us to Melbourne. We took two day tours outside the city to see the coast and experience some wildlife. It was actually our first time ever taking guided tours like that, which made it that much more interesting. It was wonderful to be able to relax […]

Jacqueline and Thomas had the most perfect Tacoma wedding. We started the day with their first look and portraits at the rose garden at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma. Then we moved on to their wedding ceremony and reception at the Historic 1625 Tacoma Place. The rose garden at Point Defiance Park is one of […]

I absolutely love the annual Shoot & Share contest. This is a free contest any photographer can enter. There are 25 categories of photos, and the photos entered are completely anonymous. The judges are the hundreds of thousands of people all around the world viewing the photos online and casting millions of votes to pick […]
