Mary and Zack reached out to me about their wedding after coming across Emma and Andrew‘s beautiful day last year at The Captain Whidbey Inn. This venue is such a magical place, and part of what I love so much about shooting in venues more than once is having the chance to discover new nooks and…
LA is a magical place. I’ve tried to hide how much I love what a weird city it is, but consider this an official declaration of my adoration for it’s southern Californian quirk. Some of my favorite people in the world live tucked away in the hills, and that sunlight is liquid gold. Don’t even get me…
When Chelsea emailed me about shooting her super stylized maternity session, I didn’t have to think twice. These crazy kids are gonna make the most brilliant parents, and I can’t wait for their wee pineapple to arrive. They won’t know what hit ’em.
Phiona and Zach got married on one of the hottest days of the summer this year. Most of us in the Pacific Northwest are notorious wimps when it comes to temperatures over 85 degrees, but there’s something magical about the way weddings distract from the temperature and helps the day sail by. They had a…
I’ve known Sami’s family for nearly a million years now. (Ok, maybe only like 15. But still.) Her aunt is one of my dearest friends, and was the first bride I ever photographed. That wedding was six years ago, and it’s amazing how these things come full circle. If you’d asked me then if I’d…
Sometimes the world feels really small. Like when you photograph the wedding of people who grew up in the same town you did, but found you through completely separate avenues. Alex and Josh had a day full of heart and family – so much attention went into making their dreams come true. The beautiful Stepping…
There’s something really special about high school sweethearts tying the knot, don’t you think? I grew up just blocks away from Hayden, and he and Meera have been together for ages. When Meera contacted me about shooting their wedding last year, I knew I had to be a part of it. Sometimes I can’t help but smile…
Every once in a blue moon you meet someone who makes the world a whole lot smaller, and you’re better off for it. Kyla was that person for me most recently. She is a super #bosslady running a nanny placement business (if you need a nanny, she’s the literal best at finding you the perfect fit!)…
Katie and Sam are getting married next July at Georgetown Ballroom, and it’s going to be one for the books. When I met them earlier this summer, they explained how important their neighborhoods have been in shaping their identity as individuals and as a couple. She grew up just down the street from the ballroom,…
There’s something exceptionally dreamy about a backyard wedding. Especially in the backyard of the home your grandparents built with their own hands from bricks reclaimed from Seattle’s industrial boom. Kelsi and Kyle have been together for years, and their families already felt like family. I can’t picture their wedding having taken place anywhere else.
