It’s Angela’s birthday today, and I’ve gotten to spend the last 18 of them with her, which still feels kind of unbelievable to say out loud. She’s my partner in absolutely everything, business, life, all of it, and somehow she makes both of those things better just by being involved. She’s got this way of making people feel like they’ve known her forever within about five minutes. I’m endlessly lucky to do this work alongside her and even luckier to get to celebrate her today.
Happy birthday, Angela. Here’s to a lot more of these.

This one was so good. Shayna and Ian at the Hoyt Arboretum redwood deck in Portland, surrounded by the people who love them most and honestly it showed in every single moment of the day. Shooting in the redwoods is always a gift but when the couple is this easy to love it just kind of writes itself.

One of my favorite frames from the day is them leaning against their Prius. We were kind of half joking when we suggested it but I’m so glad we did. Right now it’s just their car, totally normal, nothing special about it. But pull that photo out in 30 years and it’s going to feel like everything. That’s the thing about old wedding photos from the 70s and 80s, you see the couple climbing into some beat up Toyota Corolla with streamers and “just married” soaped onto the windows and it just feels so alive, so of its time. The Prius is that photo for them. And they look incredible in it.

Congrats you two, we adore you.

Hear ye, hear ye—a medieval-inspired love story unfolds within castle walls 🏰⚔️

Knights gathered, queens adorned, and a celebration fit for royalty—from axe throwing and a dessert feast worthy of a kingdom to honorable sword send-offs. We loved bringing this tale of love, legacy, and celebration to life!

And if thou art planning thine own celebration… it is neither too early nor too late to call upon a wedding coordinator to keep thy day running most smoothly!

Go forth to the ye olde website—www.yourperfectbridesmaid.com—to inquire and begin thy planning quest. 👑 ♥️ 💍

Happy Mother’s Day to Angela. It’s insane looking at the fact that we have a 17 year old now and realizing we’ve been on this parenting journey together for almost two decades. Somewhere between all the school mornings, late night talks, stressful moments, proud moments, and all the little in between parts of life, you became such an incredible mother.

There’s this warmth and steadiness you bring into our daughter’s life that I’ve always admired. You’ve always been someone she could feel safe with, vent to, and lean on, and I know how much that will mean to her in the future.

Parenting isn’t always easy and I don’t think either of us had a roadmap for any of this, but I genuinely can’t imagine going through it with anyone else. I’m really proud of the mom you are and really grateful we’ve gotten to build this life together.

We love you endlessly.

It’s a weird thing, being a wedding photographer. You start to realize most of your memory markers aren’t just holidays or milestones, they’re all the weddings over the years. Like Jennie and Dalton’s, two years ago in Pennsylvania. Our last spring out east before heading back west. Everything felt right on the edge of changing. I remember the weeks leading up to it, checking the forecast, wondering if we’d get that perfect sunny day with those old European church vibes at Merion Tribute House in the background, or if we’d be dodging puddles and hunting for quiet, interesting pockets indoors.

Anyway, happy anniversary Jennie and Dalton 🖤

Happy anniversary Heather and Jessica!

Alexandra and Jack at Kiana Lodge 🤍

They were unreal. Effortless, classic, the kind of good-looking that doesn’t need extra styling or staging to stand out. Put them on a waterfront in the Pacific Northwest and it’s almost unfair.

We had those soft little sprinkles, just enough to make the air feel electric, not enough to send anyone running. The sky stayed bright, the water stayed calm, and the light was an absolute gift. Everything glowed.

And their people showed up. Big laughs. Packed dance floor. Zero holding back. It felt less like a formal event and more like the best party of the year that just happened to include a wedding ceremony by the water.

Days like this are why we love what we do. Beautiful setting, gorgeous couple, a little moody weather for drama, and a whole lot of joy.

Alexandra + Jack, you two made it easy.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to photograph this for you. Your couples are incredible ❤️

Happy Birthday to my favorite human and my forever teammate.

Drew, building this life with you has been the wildest, most beautiful ride. We’ve packed up our entire world more than once. We’ve started over in new cities. We’ve driven across the country chasing light, love stories, and whatever felt right at the time.

And somehow, every move, every leap, every 14-hour wedding day just made us stronger.

You’re the steady hand when things feel chaotic. The calm voice in timeline panic. The person who believes in us when I get in my head. The reason this business exists the way it does.

But more than any of that, you’re my home.

I’m so proud of the life we’ve built. Southern California to Colorado to the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest… and somehow it still just feels like the beginning.

I can’t wait to see where we go next.

Happy Birthday. I’d choose you in every lifetime.

Julianne & Alex’s Waterloo Village wedding was pure chaos (the good kind). Non-stop dancing, constant laughs, and the kind of energy that made the whole day feel like one big party. Clients like this are exactly why we do what we do. 🖤
